Great!
Kdub: 
These are my first skins ever, so it took me quite a while to cut them and get used to using them (user error), but I've been happy with them on the hill. They come with a metal clip at the tail end, which was difficult to attach, yet the skins worked fine without it. Seem to be great!
the only skin worth buying
SkyRider: 
There is no other skin that can match the consistancy of the sticky glue in the cold or wet snow. There is no other skin that can go where these skins go. Don't waste your time on anything else, just spend the $$$'s on what works best and focus on hiking up hill instead of maintaining skins on your skis.If you aren't using these skins, then catch up when you can, cause I can't wait around for you to get your to stay stuck to the ski. I will be the one logging miles of smiles while you grimice and grin trying to hold your frustration in over your substandard skins that only work when they want to.

Jerrod S.:
The STS skins work great. The cutter which is supplied works really well until it breaks. Be careful not to go too fast with your trimming.
Packaged Tip Rings Too Small
Nicole R.: 
Haven't used my skins yet, however, I had to buy separate tip rings for these skins as the ones that came with them were too small for my skis. I have the BD Lyrics (tip 118mm). My complaint is that there are not many back country skis that are small enough for these tip rings to work. These skins should be packaged with bigger tip rings. Or plan to buy some separately that will work with your skis.
Black Diamond Ascension STS Skins
Teton Dave :
Have been using these skins for two seasons skiing the Teton's and the Wasatch. The skins perform great, easily allow climbing up 30-35 degree slopes, and have no problems with the glue or the grip surface. I have only one caution: mine came with "skin savers", a perforated plastic-like material that you're supposed to put between the glue surfaces when storing, and after about 1/2 a season, they began deteriorating and leaving plastic bits all over the glue surface of the skins. If these skins are still coming with those skin savers, save yourself some headache and toss 'em in the garbage and store the skins the old fashioned way. Other than that, five stars.
