Why We Like The Black Diamond Ascension Climbing Skins
When we set out in search of lesser-known skintracks and untracked backcountry lines, the Black Diamond Ascension Skins are our ticket to bottomless turns. Their newly re-worked nylon material is lighter and more packable than ever, while the tried-and-true adjustable tip loops and STS tail clips ensure a solid hold on your skis. The STS tail clip provides 10cm of adjustability, allowing you to switch the skins between different skis in your quiver.

Worked for a Few Tours

The glue went bad after about 10 tours. Now it just globs all over the base of my skis so i have to take base cleaner to remove the glue from the skis everytime i install the skins. They are now basically worthless to me. I have contacted BD but i have not heard anything from them. I would not recommend these.

Bought these and after several uses have found them to work really well, even in steep icy conditions. I haven't experienced the same issues my friends with G3 skins have had with snow getting under the tip and I didn't find the crappy cutting tool to be much of an issue either. I bought 169-180 for 172 skis and glad I went with the larger size as the 163-174 may have been very tight. If anything they run slightly small so if you're questioning what size or want to make sure you're covering as much ski as possible, I would go with the larger one. Also, the skin savers work very well to make them last!

I love these

I've used these skins for several seasons and I love them. I re-glue them every season because they definitely lose some stickiness over time. Love them, they hold up, and they do the job. My only complaint is the setup - the nails given to attach the toe piece are SUPER fragile and if you break one accidentally, there are no extras :(

Will the Black Diamond Ascension Climbing Skins fit the Black Diamond Boundary 115s at 195cm?

Will these skins work with twin tip skis? I noticed G3 makes a Twin Tip attachment. Will I need supplemental parts in order to use these skins?
