I am going to learn to Telemark ski this winter. I will start by taking lessons at the resort. Is this a good ski to learn on? Also the guy at the shop said i should get this in the 176. as a beginner would i be better off on 166's?. I weigh 140#. Thanks

Seems like a good beginner board. It's soft and forgiving and turns easily. I think it's fat enough you can go short and be fine. Best of luck with the tele turns!

It may depend on how solid/aggressive an alpine skier you are. That said, I would lean toward the 166cm.
