What size and type of skins would you recommend for these? I was thinking the Black Diamond GlideLite Nylon STS Skins size 140mm.

I always have to take issue with the idea that any more than 5 mm of exposed base on each side of the skin is acceptable--since "Anonymous" didn't specify a ski length, we don't know how wide the ski is--if he's getting the 191, it's 137 at the widest point, and that leaves 8.5 mm of exposed base on each side of a 120 mm skin. With exposure like that, I find that I get more glideback on steep sidehills, which I find unacceptable. But lots of people don't seem to have this problem with base exposure and seem to think that even 10 mm on each side is OK--perhaps I just need to set a mellower traverse.
