TRANSTIONS-As Easy As 1,2,3.....Putting On your Skins

Putting on skins is another area that one can make up, or loss for that matter, a lot of time in a ski mountaineering race or while racing our buddy's on a powder day.

Most of us will spend at least 5 minutes, if not 15 putting our skins on. Top races will do this in under 60 seconds!!

Just as there is when taking skins off, there are a few key things to remember - take your pole straps off and put poles in one hand (to keep it really simple, drop them on the snow) and have your top unzipped, ready to pull your skins out (remember they aren't in your pack).
