Both torsional and longitudinal stiffness are key factors in a ski's performance. The balance of the two, along with camber, result in most of the ski's personality. Different degrees of the three will vary, depending on the intended result. Camber is related to longitudinal stiffness, but is also a...

I've got a little different perspective on this. Being new to tele, wanting to try it out, and given the Dirty Birds... I'm thinking that to answer your question, yes, these should be pretty OK for you. Never skied 'em myself, but I remember that Rossi series of tele skis well, and mounted/sold a bu...
