BIG SKY MOHAIR MIX SKI SKINS
From beginner to advanced, this is the only skin that we recommend.
This Mohair Mix Endurance skin from Big Sky Mountain Products is the perfect blend of weight, packability, durability, and glide.
We've sold Nylon only skins as entry level before due to enhanced grip and lower pricepoint, but their bulkiness and weight provided poor experiences for our users. We've also sold full Mohair skins, designed to have max efficiency in their glide, but they were far less durable, expensive, and lacked the grip of Nylon. So after years of trying to provide the best solution for anyone, we came to selling the Mohair Mix Endurance skins from Big Sky.
Tested from Antarctica to Denali to 8,000m in the Himalaya, these skins optimize speed, grip, and durability in the mountains. These skins are built with ski-mountaineering in mind where weight and speed are important, but reliability is still essential. This skin is as light and foldable as those from our leading competitors, is faster out of the box, and is far more durable. Combined with our self-renewing, non-toxic glue, these skins will never fail you no matter how many transitions you put them through
Rover ski skins utilize the super-efficient Quick-Snap tail clip which is adjustable up to 8cm. The wire tip clip is simple, unbreakable, and will fit virtually any ski tip. We recommend these ski skins for any skis but those with the most aggressive twin tips or off-set tails. For those users, please see the BSMP OG clip skins
Universal vs Pre-Assembled
If you select the Universal length, it will fit skis as long as 200cm, and you can cut it as short as you need. However, you will need to install the rivets on the tip after you cut it to length.
The Pre-assembled skins are already trimmed to length with the entire tip assembly already installed. So all you need to do is cut the skin to the width of your ski. If you are new to ski touring or setting up skins, we would recommend getting a pre-assembled skin.

WHAT WIDTH OF SKIN DO I WANT?
This is a trim to fit skin, meaning you will need to trim the width of the skin to match your ski.
We recommend that customers use the tail width of their skis as a reference for a standard skin fit. So, if the tail of your ski is 110mm wide, we would suggest a 115mm skin. For those who desire extra grip, purchase a skin wide enough to cover the entirety of your tip. For those desiring extra glide, get a skinnier skin based on your ski’s width underfoot and cut the skin straight to reveal more base at your tip and tail.
