Climbing skins for Uncle Buds?

Post by grahamlove »

Hello,

Do you think climbing skins are necessary for Uncle Buds hut? Would the skies with scalloped base be sufficient?

Fishscale skis work fine on the Turquoise Lake Road but you will need skins on the steep climb from the road to the hut.

do kicker skins work well enough for that steep climb, or should I just bring full-length skins?
