Why We Like The Black Diamond Ascension Climbing Skins
When we set out in search of lesser-known skintracks and untracked backcountry lines, the Black Diamond Ascension Skins are our ticket to bottomless turns. Their newly re-worked nylon material is lighter and more packable than ever, while the tried-and-true adjustable tip loops and STS tail clips ensure a solid hold on your skis. The STS tail clip provides 10cm of adjustability, allowing you to switch the skins between different skis in your quiver.

Everything I need.
I am not the most extreme backcountry skier but these skins 100% do the job for me. Good grip in all conditions, easy to cut and easy to use. No complaints!!

Great skins, can’t remember when
Great skins, can’t remember when I bought my first pair but they are always reliable, so I always buy them.

third pair
I am on my third pair, since I have three sets of skis. Easy to use, long lasting, and sticky on the snow!

Great
My sister bought the same ones 3 years ago and they’re still super sticky and work perfectly in a steep terrain! So happy to have mine now.

Wrong instructions for included off set trim tool creates double offset
The instructions say to offset the skins 2mm during trimming to expose edges but the trim tool is a new design apparently than previous BD skins I have bought. The new tool also offsets by 2mm. Fortunately I realized something was wrong early in the process.

Great Skins
These skins are so great. My previous skins were not sticking to my skis and picking up tons of snow on the climb and these were recommended by a few friends. They are smooth and dry when I get to the top and easy to use!
