WTB: Climbing Skins

Hello,

We finally got some snow here so I have been messing around in the backyard with kick wax and some old K2 Heli Stinx that I hope to use as sort of burly cross county ski. I do not think this ski has a wax pocket. I have no idea what I am doing with wax. It sticks when I want it to slide and slides when I want it do grip. I can't buy any more skis right so:

I am looking for some used or low-cost climbing skins.

I would like to find some that are small and easy to take on and off. I think maybe something with a tip loop and about 93cm long for these 185cm skis?

If anyone has something that could work please let me know!

Happy New Year!

Hi,
I have two pair of lightly used Black Diamond Glide Lite skins:
Both have loops at the tip and an adjustable hook at the tail. The glue on both pairs is still sticky.


#1: These are trimmed for a pair of Black Diamond Crossbows. Skins measure: 168 cm long,100 mm tip, 82 mm waist, 95 mm tail, includes cheat sheets and a Lowe Alpine storage pouch
#2: These were trimmed for a pair of K2 skis. Skins measure: 150 cm long, 88 mm tip, 57 mm waist, 88 mm tail, includes cheat sheets and original bag.

Either pair is $50 plus shipping via your choice of carrier.

Thank you for the response. I got kick wax figured out a little better and I am planning on all wax and no skins for now.
