Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

i know it's the US, but REI sometimes do deals on skins and certainly used to ship by USPS - so it cost $20 versus $40-50 with UPS

cathalibm, They go on the bases of skis to provide grip so you can walk up the mountain.

cathalibm, skins go on the bottom of your skis and are used for walking up hill - original moleskin, they're now manmade directional fabric which allow the skis to slide forward but not slip back

For info... postage on skins from sport conrad is €15. Total was €145 delivered to UK. So that's around £125 delivered. Cheapest i could find them here was £165 and I was struggling to find the correct length.
