Just throw some tele bindings on your Obsethed's, they should work fine. The rockered tip will help out for tele-ing in deeper snow (it's tail rocker that you want to stay away from for telemarking, due to the rearwards heel pressure of your downhill ski). Tele "specific" skis aren't any different from alpine skis in construction (except for a rare few cases). So if you;re just starting out, no need to buy a whole new pair of skis. The REALLY important things you should focus on are bindings and boots. For tele, getting the right binding/boot combo is far more important than in alpine...
