HIPPYVALLEY Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 What is he doing to his skis? All my years of skiing, I never heard the term "skin" used. I guess that means I was not "extreme". No, skins are a back country ski component. Often called climbing skins they are a type of laminate that adhere to the bottom of your skis and usually clip to the tip and tail to provide traction for climbing up inclines. They sort of turn your ski into a snow shoe for getting up high in the back country and then you peel them off for your downhill descent. They are necessary for steeper ascents (real steep requires snow shoes with skis strapped to your pack) but for slight to moderate climbing grip wax will do just fine. You would only use skins for back country telemark skis set ups or for randonee (girly-man) back country bindings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's actually not too far ahead of schedule for the cherry blossoms though. We need get you a real New England January when you're back next year. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OKpowdah Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 We wouldn't be seeing anything now anyway. The storm doesn't reach Earth until late tonight ... like after 1am. With any luck, the clouds thin a little late tonight. We could get a shot then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kdxken Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Not even a coat this morning with a little humidity in the air. Feels strange, Fifty at five, looks like we will make a run at the record today... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Feels strange, Fifty at five, looks like we will make a run at the record today... Yeah I think the record will be broken. The only thing that might prevent it, is a more srly wind or cloud cover, but the record should be broken at Logan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Backdoor cancel on this latest Euro run for next week. 60s and 70s every day. The ens continue it through the end of the run (d15 and beyond). I'm not sure I've seen a stretch like this modeled in April before...nevermind mid March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah...maybe even I can hit a 30mph gust up here. The NAM has Tds over 50F today...those wet bulbs with sun will annihilate the snow. I'm curious to see what is left by tonight.
