Ski Trab DUO Free Rando Touring Ski
Perfect Ski for Its Width

Yes, you can go wider for better performance in unconsolidated snow.And yes, you can go narrower for even lighter weight on the ascent.But for its width, this ski can't be beat. (Although perhaps the Dynafit Se7en Summits is comparable.)I've used these skis in almost every possible condition, from perfect powder (see attached pic), to perfect corn, to some variably soft snow, to really firm (and sometimes not so smooth) refrozen snow. Overall, impressive performance across a wider range of backcountry skiing conditions. The skin attachment system works very well: super quick to get on-off, very secure, and offers the option of peeling back the skin from either the tip or the tail. Or you can even just make your own, as shown here:http://ussma.org/cosmic/learn/equipment/skins-make-tip-loop-bungee
