G3 Scala Skins in the Northeast?

[yogiskier]

Here's my next question as I create my AT setup Has anyone used G3 Scala Skins regularly for NH/VT inbounds/sidecountry? I think it was discontinued a few years ago. I found a great outlet deal online in my size and since I can't find any past years' G3 Alpinist (what I was leaning toward getting) in my size I'd be paying full price for 2021 inventory. It looks pretty much like the Alpinist but has a urethane (plasticky) tip connector.

I'd be using them with these skis: https://www.onthesnow.com/gear/a/10...rontside-skis/rossignol/temptation-84-hd-2018

What size are you looking for? STP has a number of Alpinist skins for pretty reasonable. I bought mine there.

My tips are 132mm and skis are 154mm in length, so I'm looking for 130mm in Small. What is STP? Btw, did you get any more use out of your new bc setup after we took that intro clinic in March (right before Covid hit)??

Check it out - I bet you could cut these to size pretty easily, they come with a cutting tool that is easy to use: https://www.sierra.com/g3-alpinist-skin-145mm~p~758gw/?filterString=s~g3-alpinist/

I didn’t, unfortunately! I’m looking forward to getting some skinning in this season. hope it snows plenty in MA too.
