is it better to get the width of the widest part of the ski and cut it or just get the waist width and slap it on?
e.g.
184 length and a 140/108/136 width profile what size skins would be best?

thanks a ton =)i guess that its 130s for me. btw these are non rockered with only enough "early rise" for them to include it in their description =\ at least they are super wide so they will float either way.

it is better to get the skins wider and cut them. with wide skis however you get a ton of traction underfoot so you really don't have to go full width at the tip (especially true for rockered skis). I would recommend getting the 130 wide skins, they will give you plenty of 'full width coverage' for the majority of the ski.
