Ascending Made Easy

By Nick Stadie Ranked #9 - Climbing Skins January 31, 2010

I have toured these skins in everything from cold clear December days in Roger's Pass (-20 C), standard cloudy powder days somewhere in the -10 range, to t-shirt soaking Southern CA corn harvests (+20?) and they hold me like glue. They glide and grab extremely well, and stay clump free - I have never had any problems. Though I do agree with one gripe that they stick to themselves extremely readily since they are thin compared to BD skins - but it's not so bad that it has ever been frustrating. Cutting and fitting is a breeze, as with any skins. The tip attachment is bomber, I thought it might turn out to be finnicky in the BC but it has never come even close to slipping off. Now slap em on, and earn those turns!
