The K2 Work Stinx is one of the most popular tele skis. And for a good reason. It's a great all round ski that you can ski at the resorts and in the backcountry. The K2 rep told me a they sell to a lot of ski patrollers. She also explained that the ski has 2 different radius sidecuts in the front and in the back. The shorter front radius help initiate your turn and the longer radius helps hold the ski in the turn.
