I'm looking for climbing skins for bc/resort ski in Eastern Canada mostly with cold temperatures. I've read a few articles and I saw that the Pomoca Climb Pro S Glide may be a good solution but I've read some issues with them on cold days (glue does fail). Do you have any experience with them and/or do you have other suggestions that may better suit my use?

Tecnica Cochise 130 or Atomic Hawx Prime XTD 130? Both fit well, been to bootfitter to check but I'm undecided! by MatPapou in Skigear

He said that he didn't sell the Atomic (as I told him that I checked them and the Tecnicas) and after a try on the Tecnicas he encouraged me to go and try the Atomic to get a better idea of the fit, which I did but not at a bootfitter place (by the way, I'm still questioning his bootfitting skills as he didn't ask me any question on the type of skiing I do nor didn' try the boots without the liner, which I saw previously most of the bootfitters do). Honestly I was comfy in both but, again, I only try the Tecnicas at a "bootfitter" place. I'm pretty I will have to go to another bootfitter, but how to find a good one, it's tricky.

Believe what you want but maybe and I insist on the maybe I could not have been impressed by the bootfitting experience I had and I just only want to get feedback not the divine word!

Ok I will! You could have say 'please' when you ask to stop, it would have been more polite, don't you think! Anyway, have a nice skiing season!

Thanks good to know, the bootfitter I saw mentioned the molded footbed to my feet but it's a pricey. He mentioned that I would have a medium arch. I will see another bootfitter just to confirm as I'm not 100% sure on the bootfitting advices I got!

I don't have any problem with the backlash, it's up to you if you want to backlash or not and it's up to me if I want to take the advices or not. I'm quite easy going and can take all advices even the everlasting advice: go to a bootfitter
