The difference between skinning with the Ascent (in tour mode) and a normal tele binding (even a 3 pin without cables attached) is like night and day. I always get heal blisters, but on a 7 day trip, skinning nearly 35K, my feet were blister free. Had a couple issues: 1. Heal lifts did not want to stay up. Contacted G3 who indicated this was a known (but isolated) issue with some lifters. New ones came in the mail 3 days later. 2. Need to insure snow doesn't ice up under binding prior to forcing the lever from tour to ski mode.
