An almost complete newbie to skiing, was interested in backcountry skiing. Don't have much an interest in downhill skiing, what is the difference between Alpine Touring skis and Telemark skis?
Black Diamond Alpine Touring skis
These are 183cm in size, seem to be relatively inexpensive, I have trekking poles I might be able to extend far enough to use as ski poles, I would just need boots and bindings.
Is there a difference between these AT skis and Telemark skis? What's a good size given that I'm about 130lbs and 5'4", typically would be used in NY/NJ where we can get all different kinds of snow, light to wet and heavy.
