Ever Wondered Who Figured Out All Those Colorado Ski Areas? And 10 Things To Know — Part 8: Climbing Skins
by Lou Dawsonby Lou DawsonStart stripping your backcountry skiing climbing skin from tip or tail, doesn’t matter.

If you’re removing the skins from the ski tail first (as most do), stick your ski tails in the snow after you’ve got the skin half stripped.
