I am 5'6'' 140lbs and have 174cm K2 Coombas (135-102-121) and I am looking at these G3 skins. Is it worth getting 130ish skins and trim them to cover the base wall to wall or should I go with a skin around 100mm that covers the base under foot. I do not want a boat to drag up hill, but at the same time want enough coverage not to slide back. Any thoughts?

Trim it to the point to where just the edges are showing.

Get the skins that fit the widest part of your ski (except for some extreme fatties) and then trim down to the waist. You'll appreciate the extra coverage.
