It might be possible to do telemark turns with these, but it's difficult because of the lack of sidecut. These skis are used in classic diagonal racing and for light touring. Racing track skis tend to be waxable. They are a bit longer and narrower than downhill skis, but basically look a whole lot like downhill skis with cross-country bindings. They are better for telemarking downhill than backcountry skis, but it is harder to ski uphill with them because they are heavier and have less camber.
Bindings can be three-pin, cable, or cable with a release.
The telemark technique is very useful in the backcountry because it gives good fore and aft stability in crud snow conditions. Another good beginner to intermediate telemark ski is the Katami. It's a good starter telemark ski because it's easier to turn. The disadvantage is that it is slow and soft. They work fine for backpacking.
