The Black Diamond Ascension Nylon STS Climbing Skins are the perfect addition to your skiing gear. These skins offers unparalleled traction on the uphill and efficient glide thanks to their plush material. The skins come in fixed lengths and feature pre-installed, redesigned tip and tail attachments that make them intuitive and easy to use. The patented STS tail attachment system provides up to 10 cm of adjustability for using with different skis in your quiver or for easy tensioning. With redesigned low profile tip hardware, snow build-up under skins is prevented, making them suitable for a wide range of modern ski tip shapes. Additionally, the pre-trimmed bikini-style tail reduces drag and weight.

Key Features:

  • Unparalleled traction on the uphill.
  • Efficient glide thanks to plush material.
  • Patented STS tail attachment system provides up to 10 cm of adjustability.
  • Redesigned low profile tip hardware prevents snow build-up under skins.
  • Pre-trimmed bikini-style tail reduces drag and weight.

KIT DOES COME WITH OFFSET TRIM TOOL

Originally posted at www.blackdiamondequipment.com on Sep 6, 2024
this kit did come with the trim tool even though it's not pictured. However, the tool pictured did not come with my kit. I bought a trim tool separately and don't want you to make the same mistake I did.

For my first ever skins, they work great and were very intuitive to cut to length.

I don't know much when it comes to snowboard gear and I was really hesitant to to pick out a few specific boards to try and decide between, but josh gave me a Hollar and was able to help me not only give me boards to decide between, but gave me recommendations between all the gear I will need. Josh is absolutely fantastic and deserves a raise.

5 /5
Been looking to get some skis for a long time and I was hesitant to pull the trigger. Eventually, my new company offered me a wellness credit that included fitness and ski reimbursement. I came back to Curated and Jonathan updated my curation for me. Great experience as he was super knowledgeable and friendly.

GREAT all-around experience. Very helpful in helping me determine which route to go for a new board...after snowboarding for 30 years now. Austin was quick to respond throughout the numerous chat messages and he was very knowledgeable in helping me determine what board would accomplish what I was looking for. Thank you, Austin and Curated! Will definitely consider you guys again in the future.

Give Aimee more money!!!
5 /5
I have never heard of curated until I searched it up for the first time and had no idea that they match you with a REAL expert with years of experience. My experience with Aimee was fantastic and i’m not lying for the review. She was very helpful and friendly as I am new to all of it. We came to a conclusion about gear and prices and it all fit perfectly for me. I definitly hope more people get matched with her as she was a great help. Thanks again and I appreciate the great advice.

Chris was amazing.
5 /5
I had spent time and narrowed down my preferences, hopped on curated and Chris sent me a message almost instantly and he only ever took him a few minutes to respond. He provided me a variety of options that fit exactly with the preferences I had. He was kind and helped me find my perfect first set up within just a day and a half of messaging. He made the purchasing process a breeze, I will be recommending him and Curated to others.

I love that Curated puts you in touch with a real expert. I filled out the profile, quickly heard from Sarah and had a personalized list of snowboards to choose from. Having researched the boards, I found Sarah's comments and suggestions were spot on with what other riders stated about the recommended boards.

This was my first ever time buying ski’s and look guided me through it like he was a city tour guide. You cannot get a better person than Luke on curated. I was able to text him like he was a friend and ask question about certain skis and he would answer always in a great response quickly.
