Low grip skins for prolonged flats?

Lets say I am skinning along a long flat unplowed road to access something I think will be fun many miles in. I'd want more glide and less grip than normal, but not quite the 0 grip of skinless downhill mode. More cross country regime of grip verse glide... but I don't want to drag those with me. Is there something one of you would recommend for this?

Has anyone tried, say, a thin segment of skin cut from a pair of old skins... to give only a minor amount of grip?

Why not get skins known for glide versus what you seem to be proposing which is a dual-skin solution (which, by the way sounds like a horrid deal to have to make)?

Skimo race skins.

I don't think it's such a bad idea, give it a shot and post back with the results.

Some would suggest fishscale skis for such a thing.

One thing I've tried for flats is putting a skin on one ski. Switch the ski to the other foot when you get tired of "skateboarding" on that side.

mohair skin cut to about 2-4 inches,(more 2 than 4 unless ur cruising fatties) running 3/4 the length of ski. if its flat enough to skate your edges are exposed enough for some glide, if not this is plenty of traction to climb most fs roads. boots with high degree of articulation are a huge help in elongating your stride.
work well as a second emergency escape sort of skin, especially if you carry enough voile straps to tie em in the back. try making the width work so that if you were to put them together you'd get one whole size skin.
there are sites that sell mohair and my favoritte (the bd mohair mix) by the meter i believe
pure mohair will be wet in spring conditions in a very short time but the mix seems to be the best of both worlds
those scale situations are iffy....they never really bite enough that you dont slide back here and there and the rhythm is thrown off. at least as you really get climbing and with my less than perfect technique. also the glide is noticeably worse on the way down. to me the scales are nice for a walk but as an approach vehicle i am doubtful.
check out luc mehl's site. those guys are putting dynafits on cc skis, but thats a whole different ballgame. i assume you have actual turns in mind.
if this is about hwy 20 or cc river road....shoot a pm
cheers!
