I am hoping to do just a small amount of uphill climbing for an Alpine Run (50 yards - Catherines Way access- Alta Utah), maybe more if I get into it. Would Alpine Climbing skins be what I need?
Thanks Zane

Once you get a set of skins,you will get hooked on getting yourself to further destinations.

Most of the time it's easiest to side-step or boot pack a short hike like that. You would spend more time getting your skins on and off then you would just going going for it sans skins. If you do decide to get into touring and doing some bigger ascents, go for the Black Diamond skins. The BD skins are a lot better.

50 yards? Just boot it, unless you want the Alta locs to be all laughing at you! Pick up some skins if you start eyeing lines across the street on Flagstaff or Superior. You definitely won't need 'em for anything at the resorts.
