Mount Superior is one of the most iconic backcountry skiing mountains in the western United States, and it's also a short 30 minute drive from Backcountry's office. Given that proximity, it's no surprise that many of us spend mornings on Superior's south face before clocking in, and those quick dawn missions are made possible with light gear like the GlideLite Skin. We made this skin with Black Diamond to assure reliable traction, lightness, and packability.

The best
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
Ive had these skins a couple times now and they are the best! They last forever ( last pair is still going after 6 seasons of heavyish use) They are easy to size up to any ski and cut to length. The toe clips are amazing for every ski tip out there whether round or square! Only after about 5 seasons did the waterproofing wear out but the nikwax skinproof revives them like new. I would suggest these for any skier type!

Solid
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
Exactly what I want when I am skinning. Strong and reliable. I put this on my split board because I already had the tail clips. I love that I can set this up to fit my specs so I can fit it how I like.

Great glide and grip, but glue is cheap
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
These skins are great for the grip and glide that you get, but the glue is cheaper than regular skin glue. It glops up really badly after a few uses, and I had to renew it after only 10 days of use. I would go with the glidelites, or ascensions, but these ones do not have the same glue that the pure BD skins have, and it makes every transition a hassle.

Very happy with these
- Familiarity:
- I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Not much else to say other than outlined in specs - these are the Backcountry branded version of a pretty legendary BD mohair blend skin. Very happy with the price point ( I do see the BD's are now cheaper as of this writing) and quality. I notice the toe fitting has a plastic bar where older ascensions had a metal bar... not sure if this will ever come to any consequence or just saves a couple of grams.
