So I noticed these skis sticking out of the trash and it was the Targas that caught my attention…. Hung a U and scooped them up. Just looked up the skis - Dynastar Trouble Makers 165
What I don’t understand is Tele bindings on a Park ski ??? Anyone have a guess why someone would do this. I was thinking I could try them on piste..

Re: Trash can Tele’s
Because that was the ski they had or found? Really though, how much different could it be from my WorkStinx with red Targas? BTW, nice find!!!

@Krummholz Park ski= cool graphics and soft. Should be easy to bend in a two footed turn, however at 165 cm I would think they would be better suited for a lighter skier.
Besides tele is still cool at the park!

Re: Trash can Tele’s
Hey Krumm, look at youtube... You'll find many kids teleing at the park... From what I know, it makes landing smoother (than on Alpine). That's part of the (few?) advantages...

Re: Trash can Tele’s
I have this mental picture of a Grand County hostel-dwelling knuckledragger thinking to himself "no more of this tele bu**s*** for me, way too hard, never can get down that Mary Jane run, back to my snowboard, duh" and tossing em in the trash for you to find.
I think it would make a fun all mountain easy turning ski. Good score!

Re: Trash can Tele’s
Yes, tele in the park was/is a thing, and yes, the skis would be kinda short for you. I had a similar experience; grabbed a pair of Atomic twin tips, 160's, in a free pile somewhere. Put some 3 pins on them, and used them for messing around in the woods, and they became a klister ski for a while too.
Gotta say, short and funky as they were, they were super nimble and easy to ski in the woods, and made for some fun skiing.

Re: Trash can Tele’s
OK, y’all convinced me to keep them and give them a try over at WP. Watch out punks! This geezer is gonna skin up and tear up this green run on these short Tele’s! 
Actuality when I first learned to ski I think it was on 165, then 180 for first pair I bought.

Just make sure your ski pants are down towards your knees.

Re: Trash can Tele’s
Even if the skis are awful and too short, the binders are nice enough to transplant to something better.
