G3 makes the best skins on the market. Just make sure the skins you get don't overlap to much on the ski, and you will be good.

i just got my black diamond skins and havn't used them yet, so i have no say. however, checkout gecko skins. they make glueless skins and it semms like if it works it would save you alot of hassle. im not sure how effective they are though.

^they stick to the bases of your skis while touring. they glide forward and hold backwards so you dont slide backwards while touring

had a few buddies who got to try the gecko skins last season. their experiences were terrible.

which was a bummer to find out, because i thought it was an epic idea
