Race skins for SkiMo champions
Justin's story:
The race took place in the partially frozen mountains of Western Maine. I swapped back and forth between the Montana High Speed and a certain well known competitor's race skin during the first six hours of the race as wet corn conditions mandated frequent drying.
" I noticed that the MONTANA skins lasted consistently longer between pit stops and resisted peeling back along the edge."
I switched to exclusively using the Montana skins after midnight once water content in the snow no longer required swapping skins.
" I was able to catch and pass the race leader around 2am... "
... and continued putting down consistent lap times until I completely blew my legs off at 9am, coasting across the finish line on maple syrup fumes.
These skins lasted longer and better than my legs and with 44,003 vertical feet in 24 hours, I'm sure these skins will work great for big ski mountaineering objectives and all my skimo races next year.
" Thanks to my MONTANA skins for carrying me to an endurance win and making gear that works "
One of the features that I really enjoyed is the ease and repeatability of the skins in ripping off the ski, and sometimes with fresh glue other skins can be too sticky and really botch a transition.
Cheers!
