Anyone interested in some Vokl Karmas 177 at £175 before they go on Ebay?
I bought them this year and have only about 2 weeks of skiing on them. They are in great nick but are a bit short for me.
Price is for skis only as i want to keep the specialised bindings. Im in Essex but could post (at cost) if needed..

Not working for you tele?
Sorry not a serious expression of interest as I've just spunked cash on a less than strictly essential additional pair of skis but a good buy for someone.
Might be worth mentioning than tele mounting holes probably won't interfere with a redrill for alpine for anyone interested?

fatbob, havent tried em for tele yet but cant say i like them on piste, too short for off piste and as all rounders they dont really suit me being too wide. Good point on the mounting holes. when i bought em i didnt consider the twin tips and tele problem... am thinking of a pair of stocklis XL's for my all mountain/tele setup...
I am planning on trying out the tele "mode" on saturday in the mountains for the first time. my daughter has been off skis for a year so i am going to start with tele so we can both be on the greens and blues

twin tips and tele problem
|
?
My Intuitiv Bigs are almost twin tips - tail is turned up by an inch or so...all I have to do is to stick my feet further apart ?

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

ski, cant remember who mentioned it but i seem to recall that twin tips and learning tele dont go together well as when your skis overlap bad things happen...

skimottaret, You can get things tangled up... but feet apart corrects this. Very quick feedback loop !

ski, i am bringing the video cam out so am hoping to get some horror show video of my first tele attempt... i am guessing a few crashes are in order but will try to keeps the feets apart  i am guessing you mean apart fore/aft not stance width

skimottaret, are you going to be at the Bash? I'd be interested in trying them...if not, I might see if a hire shop has a pair I can try.

Doug Combs (RIP) used to cut the tails off his K2 Seth twin tips didn't he?

skimottaret, You have to widen your stance with the twin tips constantly swear at mine when my feet get closer than shoulder width apart but no problems if I can keep the gap. Usually my feet are closer together and it shows on my boots and bindings. Have also seen others who have cut off the twin tips, better than pulling up to the lift and falling over because you've just crossed twin tails, I have a heck of time getting up on a flat especially with all the laughter.

skimottaret, Haven't the foggiest how others cut them, just that we have one skier who has cut out the inside half of each tail tip.
