This is InTheSnow’s Black Diamond Ultralight Mix STS Skin Review from ISPO 2018.

The Black Diamond UltraLite Mix STS skins are ideal for when efficiency and packability are essential. They are super easy to attach to your skis with a handy ‘snap tip fix’ and adjustable tail attachment.

Built with a mohair-nylon mix and a completely updated construction that makes them 20% lighter and more packable than in previous models, the UltraLite Mix STS provide the perfect balance of lightweight glide and uphill traction. An innovative Dynex™ and aluminum LT tip loop provides a secure and field-replaceable connection, while our reliable STS tail attachment allows for up to 10 cm of adjustment.
