Which skins would work best with the 189s? Looking for skins ideal for sidecountry, half-day backcountry laps, etc. Thanks

For skinning with twin tips, I'd recommend the Black Diamond STS series. I use the Nylon, but Mohair has better glide on softer, powder snow. Nylon works better on corn and wetter snow conditions (but truthfully, they both work great wherever). The STS attachment system is key for twintips though...
