I am hoping to buy 1 pair of skins to fit both my tele skis and my backcountry touring skis.
I tele on a pair of BD Kilowatt skis size 165cm and my touring setup is on a pair of BD Kilowatt skis size 175cm.
Both skis are exactly the same except for the lengths. Is it possible to have just one pair of skins for both skis?

yeah. most definitely. if you want to cut skins a good strategy would be to cut the skin to the skinnier one first (to get a good underfoot measurement) but be sure that you have the tail clip on the shortest setting (you only get about 10cm of play with the tail clip). I'd then cut it to the width of the wider ski (to make sure that there's no overhang on any of the edges). or you could just get the 95mm skins and not have to do any cutting. just make sure that you set up the tip and tail clip properly so that it works for both lengths.
