Feb. 23, 2007 Skinning in Stevens Pass

No, I'm not tall and don't have a long stride. Thinking I need wider skins. Anyone interested in BD skins 70 mm STS, lightly used?

You're on the right track.

If you want to use the tracks that are already set these tracks were set by people with full width skins. You will need the same.
I find many young buck's set a track that is to steep. It's always best to set an uphill track that is comfortable for everyone in the party. Good luck


Remember age and treachery will always overcome youth and talent.

Try 110mm, cut to show just a bit of base inside the edges.  My 110s were cut for 122-89-112, and are also working fine for my latest, which are 125-95-116 (I think, for the tail).

And remember, you can always recut your skins, but unlike hair and lawns they never grow back!
