I bought these skis and I am planning to mount telemark bindings...

I bought these skis and I am planning to mount telemark bindings on them. It seems however that they are "recommended" for AT. Any hint why these skis would not be as good for telemark (like its flex, ...)?

They're a bit stiffer, since alpine turns put all the weight on one ski and tele turns distribute it over both. They'll be fine though, just a bit more aggressive.
