Came across these skis from the Tesma Ski company in Japan:
https://tesmaski.jp/products/flipper-para
134-109-124 sidecut at 203cm (!) for a 30m radius. Looks like a very unique design. The price is as big as the ski.
The FAQ states "It was developed based on alpine skis, but it is also perfect for telemark skis because of its wide sweet spot and mild characteristics" (machine translation). The skis are designed by telemark skier Yutaka Takanashi.
