I know next to nothing about skins, this will be my first pair. I have the K2 Hippy stinx (130,97,118) so what width of skin should I get? Telemark.com says 120, and also the Hippy Stinx are twin, so will the tail attachment work/what kind of skins would be compatable with a twin tip ski?

This skin will work fine. I would say get a 120mm, then you have less to trim on the tip, but it is more important for you to be wall to wall with skins in the middle of the ski. The black diamond STS glidelites are also a great skin that would work well with a twin tip.
