How To Backcountry Ski: Quick and Easy Skinning Transitions

[@snowmonkeyskimo7905]

Cool tips - don't forget to unlock your toes before the descent :)

[@markski7725]

You made that look so easy!

[@davidegiardini2083]

Dougy's been doing his yoga!!!

[@tommoritz6659]

I hope you will do more informational BC videos. Thanks.

Great video Doug...thanks for posting. Pro tip: On windy summits, it can be easier and more manageable to fold skins into quarters rather than into halfs.

epic video. very useful

[@jasonbax8105]

Great video. Practiced this yesterday and after a few laps I was good to go! Curious if you find this hard on the edges of your skins though?

[@PaulBeiser]

Great tips here Doug, too old and not limber enough for some of the Yoga moves 😂, but learned a few new things, especially sequences and timing. I use your 2nd tip on the Pomoca clips all the time, really easy to just slide them up the side then to the tail. Thanks again!

Hey, nice video! Can you tell me what length of the TX93 you're using and how tall you are? Thanks!

[@cripplecreekbackcountry6800]

Thanks for your comment! Doug is 5'10" (178 cm) and skis the 178 cm TX93s.

How about one for tip rip skins on non-race set ups?

[@seniorripper]

How did you get into the toes so easily? It takes me forever to line up the pins with the holes in my boots. Drives me crazy.

amateur tip, take a break before going down hill because your legs might be noodles 😂😂

should not pack the skin glue to glue, like in this video

[@chrisfaessen1417]

Lol. OK. How then?....

[@nalofree]

@chrisfaessen1417 use plastic tape, mesh or synthetic cover. It will save glue going longer. It is easier to divide skins.

[@chrisfaessen1417]

​@@nalofreelol. Who told you that?.... iv never seen or skied with a single person that brings the skin savers on the mountain with them.

[@nalofree]

@chrisfaessen1417 everybody uses it in the gorge of the big mamay river;)

[@chrisfaessen1417]
