    What is the difference

    between, a tele ski and regular ski?

    is there a difference in structure?

    are all tele skis predrilled?

    the Seth Pistol has a tele version what is the main difference?

    thanks

    The topsheet is the main difference.

    K2 tele skis are the only ones with inserts.

    the main difference is that tele skis are for hippee's. Silly rabbit, hippee sticks are for pricks

    Mostly top sheet differences. Sometimes the flex in the tele version is softer. That can be hard to measure though, some folks claim they can feel a difference between the R.EX and the TM.EX (for example) and some say, "hogwash, the skis feel the same". Atomic claims there is a difference though.

    I think the Hippy Stinx (the tele version of seth pistol) has a different kind of wood in the core, making a slightly softer ski.

    At the real stiff end of the spectrum the only choice is alpine skis. There are no tele skis equal to a supernobis or explosive or whathaveyou. So big tele-ers needing stiff skis just mount up alpine sticks.
