My Skiing

90% backcountry. IFMGA Guide aspirant. Telemark and carving in the resort. Generally tend towards big days hunting steeps and hop turns in the backcountry. I prefer capability on the down/lightless on the up (60/40) and find I like lighter (1000g) boots and mid weight skis (1350-1550g)

My uphill speed and interest in skimo racing are ever growing.

Love the pomoca glue. These are great skins, but for my style, I prefer the pinks. I thought that they were going to climb better and be a little more durable, but honestly I cannot tell a difference between them and the pinks. For the improved glide and packability, I'm going to stick with the pinks for all of my skis once these wear out.
I have several pairs of these for all of my skis at this point. They are my preffered skin because of how easily they glide, how reliable the glue is and how tightly this specific Mohair packs down. For the glue... on a trip to denali, the two pomoca users on the trip were the only folks that did not have a complete glue failure as temps dropped.

After issues with Leg Baton tips breaking I was liiking for a 120-125cm baton style pole that was light and had solid metal tips past the basket. These fit the bill and have been awesome. The spiffy basket is actually surprisingly nice on the up tto because I hold my poles really lightly and used to routinely lose them to the snow behind me. the "race-ish" basket helps eliminate this issue.

I am psyched with the durability and quality of the Raider 12s and especially the Raider toe piece. After having some issues with the old, light ATK toe design (breaking toe pieces while skiing) I am so happy with how burly the toe piece is on the raiders. The extra grams are totally worth it for not needing to worry on committing expeditions and big lines
Do these work with the older Raider’s like the Raider 12 and 14?
