\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nSkins are strangely neglected considering how awesome they are. The best of us can spend literally weeks choosing new skis. We spend hours discussing bindings and boots. But skins and treatments \u2013 not so much.\u00a0Which is a shame, given that they stay on alpine touring and freeride skis for as much as 90% of the time spent out on tour. So why is it that even at the \u00c5snes headquarters in Voss, a nest of gear dorks if ever there were one, we have to confess that we\u2019ve under-prioritised skins and suffered through far more ski tours than we\u2019d really want to admit?\u00a0To provoking serious discussion about skins, then, here are four skin myths busted.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

MYTH ONE:<\/strong>\r\nBEGINNERS SHOULD USE NYLON SKINS<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

No. Where does this come from? Probably a misunderstanding arising from the generalisation \u201cIf you need grip, use nylon; if you want glide, use mohair\u201d.<\/p>\r\n

Well \u2013 that\u2019s true. But that doesn\u2019t mean that beginners in alpine touring should compensate for their lack of technique with a one-size-fits-all solution that may even actively prevent them from learning better technique (if nylon skins encourage the novice skier to pick up, rather than slide, their skis as they ascend, then maybe it\u2019s not the best solution).\u00a0We can confidently assert that very few skiers have ever complained about the advantages of a mohair or mix skin despite the slightly worse grip. There are many square centimetres of skin under a summit-oriented touring ski.<\/p>\r\n

Nylon\u2019s the best choice in certain, specific, circumstances. But in the vast majority of cases, a principally mohair skin\u2019s going to be more efficient and therefore more fun. A skin with a 70\/30% mix or 100% mohair fibres will be enough to get you to the top of anything. You may have to refine your technique. Kick turns, if all else fails. You\u2019ll definitely have to treat the skin with a little more care. But none of these things is a disadvantage in the long run.<\/p>\r\n

Whether you\u2019re a beginner or a professional mountain guide, better technique will serve you well in the mountains, regardless of which skin you have. If you treat the skin properly, it\u2019ll also last longer, give more pleasure and work better \u2013 regardless of its quality.\u00a0Before we talk down nylon skins too much, it\u2019s important to point out that nylon skins continue to be useful (particularly for cross-country skiers in steep terrain). The material\u2019s extremely durable; it doesn\u2019t absorb moisture and water on wet days like mohair can. But there, we might suggest, few reasons not to choose a mixed-material skin in any case.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

No. Old skiers, telemark diehards and bonkers high-altitude minimalists are here fondling their skinny skis and shaking their heads sadly at the vulgarity of the contemporary alpine powder ski with its average width of 100mm. 100mm!<\/strong> That\u2019s a large increase in ski base real estate \u2013 and the reason why it\u2019s absolutely a mistake to cover every square millimetre of a wide base with plush<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n

A fully-carpeted ski is a high-resistance snowplough.<\/strong> There is such a thing as \u201cenough\u201d. \u201cSufficient\u201d exists. And a narrower skin possesses both of these virtues. What you lose in the ability to Spiderman your way up a 90\u00b0 gradient you can compensate for in technique. You will have more energy for the descent \u2013 the bit where you take your heavy skins off and point yourself to joy.<\/p>\r\n

Especially so, today, when carpet on a ski\u2019s rockered tips, which have been specifically designed to clear the snow, is nothing but extraneous weigh<\/strong>t.<\/p>\r\n

20cm at the front and rear of your planks \u2013 strictly speaking, this doesn\u2019t need any skin on it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

No. Ski-makers don\u2019t make skins \u2013 skin makers do. And buying skins, the priority should be utility. The length, width and material for your intended use are your first considerations. The colour and logo are nice secondary bonuses. Shop around for the best skin; don\u2019t buy skins with the \u201cright\u201d logo or colour.<\/p>\r\n

Even the \u00c5snes X-Skins \u2013 the basic technology was developed in the research laboratories of Colltex and Pomoca. These companies are the best at what they do. They fabricate branded skins for almost every ski manufacturer you can think of, and they\u2019ve been doing it for a long time. The only difference is \u00c5snes\u2019s integration of the “software” of the skin into the \u201chardware\u201d of the ski.<\/p>\r\n

This is all to say: buy a branded skin like an X-Skin if the solution if offers to your ski is clearly appropriate and useful<\/strong>. Otherwise, you\u2019re better off going to the the source: the skin-makers themselves. Pomoca and Colltex, for two, have made it a simple matter to navigate their abundant selection. Buying from them, you might luck out and get a skin that fits several pairs of skis, which is a nice bonus. There are bargains to be had. Materials and fabrication \u2013 plush, adhesive, membrane, width, height \u2013 are more important than brands and most circumstances.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\n
<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n

When buying a new skin, look at the glue; look at the fibres; consider the fabrication; consider the attachments and adjustment.<\/p>\r\n

Adhesive is generally relatively similar. The safe option is to go for a reputable glue rather than some esoteric solution.<\/p>\r\n

The biggest difference you\u2019ll immediately perceive arises from the fibres \u2013 nylon, mohair, mix.<\/p>\r\n

Matching colour and logo on the trap should be the very last consideration of all.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n\r\n\r\n

MYTH FOUR:<\/strong>\r\nSKINS ARE IMMORTAL<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

If only.\u00a0Frozen water is weird. Skins are weird. Hiking on partially-carpeted planks to the top of a mountain just to come down again is, likewise, weird.<\/p>\r\n

But if there were no friction involved, none of this would be possible. And skins are not immune from the wear and tear that follows this play of resistance. They will wear out.\r\nNor are they immune from lazy maintenance. Dry them; don\u2019t let the glue lose its adhesion, don\u2019t let them rot. Keep them treated. There are no friends on powder days. Consider your skins your best friends.<\/p>\r\n

Clomping uphill on icy ski-wigs with the sensation of tree bark at the contact surface is ghastly. Obviously, the way down is the fun bit, but that bit might be only 10% of the whole tour.<\/p>\r\n

So consider your skins a valuable investment in pursuit of one of the greatest pleasures known to mankind. Take care of them.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
