More than a 1000 ways to skin a mountain

By Chris Tatsuno Ranked #185 - Climbing Skins January 23, 2010

I first bought a pair of these skins over five years ago. I put them on a pair of Seth Pistols and began traipsing into the woods with friends in Colorado. Since then, those same skins have graced the bases of more than ten different skis and to this day are still going strong.

In their most recent conversion, they are now assisting my girlfriend in her advances into the backcountry. They are much shorter now than when I first cut them, but the glue and fibers are all in place and easy to manage.

With my girl rocking my old skins, it was time for me to buy some new ones, and after asking around and looking at other options, I have settled on what I know best: the Black Diamond Ascension Nylon STS Skins are the real deal. I will never skin on anything else!
