What size of skins should I get for these skis? 110m or 125mm, I have been told 110mm would be best, but want to double check.

Go for the 125 or bigger so you get the most traction.

Evan's right. 125mm would be good, but the 140 would give you even better coverage. I'd for go no smaller than the 125mm, though. Also, remember to check out Black Diamonds skin trimming video: http://www.blackdiamondequipment.com/en-us/blog/index/view/slug/howto-video-trimming-skins This will show you how do get the best fit, and some other pointers, too. Remember, you want to have your metal edges showing when the skin is on. This helps dig into the harder snow when traversing.

Personally, I always custom trim my skins for maximum coverage. If you got 110mm skins, that would leave approx 2cm of base showing near your tips and .5cm near your tails. If you have minimal base showing you will slip on the skin track less. I think the cost savings for 125 vs. 110 is non existent so I say get 125mm and have the wall to wall carpet.
