Thread: climbing skins

alright so i know absolutely nothing about skins. do all of them use glue? do they have to fit your ski perfectly? im looking for some that will fit ep pros(153-127-150) but havn't found any. what brands should i look into? any help is appreciated. thanks.

Dear Jong,
The web guys have installed a search button. You type in the word your searching for and all the threads containing that word will appear. Thus eliminating the need to start new threads asking the same stupid fuckin questions over and over.

whoa....slow down there. what...you think we're geniuses or something?

See if you can find some voile snake skins, perhaps on ebay or TTips. They do not use glue and thus are far superior. If they don't go wall to wall you will simply become more skilled at the art of climbing.

man half the people on this site are assholes. i did use the search bar and its terrible. i found like 1 thread and it didnt even answer my questions so fuck off. thank you to those of you who are helping me.

And half the people need to learn how to use the search function. Try it again. You are asking us for help.

This question has been answered so many times it's ridiculous. Here's an idea-call backcountry and talk to one of their gear experts. They are good and know their stuff. Pay the backcountry price and be happy with your new gear. Go climb and get some powder shots.

Foul,

My advice is to get a roll of duct tape. Use half the roll to create perfectly fitting skins. Then with the assistance of a friend, use the other half to bind your hands behind your back, thus preventing any further retardation on the internetz.

O.K. Some honest advice.

Put real binders on EP Pros.
Find <110 waist ski, beat up is fine, to put AT bindings on. Spend money on good skins.

Think: Snowload

Search "skin width" Out of the 99 threads found go down 11 and gain desired info. The search function really is the gateway to amazing quantities of useful info.

^^^^^
worked for me too.
Ya know I'm not really an asshole and the inlaws left this morning.
just trying to help you out.
So ya covered skins and at bindings and when you type in beacons
all the info you need is gonna be right there.

I do hate the TGR search function. It never really gets me what I want AND the search comes back in chronological order starting with the newest first as opposed to the most pertinent first. I use Google>advanced search>specific domain>tetongravity.com. I end up finding waaaay more info (most from way back at the beginning of the forumz when all of you were fucking jongs)

thanks guys. i think i know what i need now. sry im new to this search bar and it takes a little to get used to it and i appologize for blowing a gasget above.

Dammit fouldsys,now I have to use the search function to find out what the hell a gasget is.................

^^^ i think he meant gasjet, slang for high pressure flatulent expulsion.
