    K2 Skins for Non-K2 Skis

    Anyone have any experience with K2's Trim-to-Fit skins? They look like they might be a pretty good departure from the typical setup. I'm thinking about drilling holes in the tips/tails of a pair of boards I have and sealing with epoxy / metal rivets.

    Anyone have experience with TechTalk? It looks it might be a pretty good departure from the typical non-tech talk. I'm thinking about posting a pair of questions I have there and sealing it with my signature.

    It's your first post, this board gets snarky when you post in the wrong forum. At the top click forum and Tech Talk and post this there, tons of good info.

    Depends on the generation. K2 Coll-Tex = no glide, glue is suspect. K2 Pomoca = as good as BD but way better tip/tail attachment (assuming you've got holes in tip/tail).
    Putting the "core" in corporate, one turn at a time.

    i have k2's with attachment for my k2 skis and they work but glue not as good as bd. they could be coll-tex version not sure, figured what the heck and the whole shabang was cheap. i prefer standard skins with no tail attachment. wish bd still did the ascension standards.

    They'll either say Coll-Tex or POMOCA on the glue side. The former have triangular black plastic attaching the Z-clip to the tip, and the latter have a bent tab attached to a rectangular black plastic attachment on the tip.
