I agree, Kam, I am experiencing the same problems for my third season on these skins. I have already repaired once, with BD Gold Label glue. I had full slippage on a ski tour yesterday. Luckily, the tip and tail clips held as it would have been quite the climb to be boot packing. I am planning on re-gluing the skins again today. It is truly disappointing.

Originally, only colder temps caused the adhesive to decrease in performance, now now the glue no longer sticks to my skis at all in cold, along with decreased performance in warmer temps (~20F). Today, I had snow build up between my one skin and ski to cause slippage causing the skin to move enough to los...

Having been lucky enough to ski Utah powder, I was interested in increasing my knowledge about the science behind the snow. It accomplished that and more.

They have very helpful, knowledgeable staff. Since I have flat, wide feet that I have abused over the years from hiking and skiing, I usually have problems finding ski boots that work for my feet. These boots fit well with no problems for the first month. Unfortunately, I have noticed some pressure on my right foot; however, I b...
