Dont know about K2, but I know for sure, Atomic,Fischer,Burton and Salamon

The ski manufacturer is less important, than the binding setup, for a rental ski. If the ski is mounted with alpine bindings, skins won't work as the binding won't hinge for you to walk uphill.

Do you know if i should heat up the whole boots a little to get that 'custom fit'?

I have seen cem heat up boot shells and liners separately. He uses a special oven for the shells and what looks like a fan heater for boots liners.
Then he works very fast to get it all back together and the owners feet in the boots!. I would say that this is not a job for the faint hearted or unskilled hands. I "think" that the liner moulding is also activated by foot heat, but takes longer.

I thought they were what you rolled your baccie in :lol: Seriously I have heard Ise and Bandit talk about skins, and I did'nt have a clue what they were. Now I understand thanks guys and Gals

Rose, you have a good opportunity to try out some touring kit this winter, with your upcoming trip :D

So glad that we are able to provide you with a little light entertainment.

A set of skins will enable you to get away from the crowds. It's possible to descend on skins for short distances, but it's usual to remove them after an ascent.

Oh, is Brucie trolling? :roll:

There are a lot of unpisted ski-routes which are excellent, even on a board. These lead you into a huge area of off piste opportunity. Found myself on a stretch of about 50 meters which I swear was near vertical, well it was the steepest bit of hill I have ever been on. Also found a fantastic ravine which was narrow and moguled all the way down, my legs were like jelly at the end of that

So, that will be one split board on order for Tino ) , and some mid fat skis to buy, for Tony H, Skidaddle and Ellistine. Pistes will never feel the same again :D
