By Ranked #1306 - Telemark Skiing February 13, 2009

so when your sizing a pair of skins and your ski size lands in two sizes (example ski length 173 and your options are 167-174 or 173-180) is it better to go tight or large, and if large is there a chance that the skins will strech and no longer fit?

If you go with the 167-174, the clip will be near the end of the orange tail. With the 173-180, it will be near the end of the skin. That is what I would suggest because it gives you more tail to grab onto to rip off the skins.
