Black Diamond Ascension Splitboard Skin

A nylon climbing skin built for splitboarders breaking trail in deep snow and variable conditions, the Black Diamond Ascension Splitboard Skin trades the fragile glide of mohair for the grip and life cycle that gets a board up steep, refrozen skin tracks without slipping back. The 100 percent nylon plush bites into firm snow at angles where mohair-blend skins slide, and the redesigned tail attachment now adjusts in two directions to accommodate a wider range of board shapes. At 140mm wide and 863 grams per pair, the skin trims weight against earlier versions while keeping enough plush coverage to lay solid track on icy mornings. The 100 percent nylon construction and 20 percent reduction in pack volume over the previous generation make this the appropriate climbing skin for splitboarders who prioritize grip and durability over maximum glide.
