Brief Update and Black Diamond Skins Video

Long time, no post. The last couple of weeks have been very busy. I recently joined Aurora Photos as a contributing photographer and it's taking longer than I expected to complete my first upload (since I have about 100 initial submissions that all require a long process of entering IPTC meta data and meeting other technical requirements). Additionally, I've been getting my financial statements and other paperwork ready for taxes.

In the midst of the madness, I've been able to sneak away from the desk for a few hours to solve my ski dilemma. I recently moved my Dynafit F12's to some '08 Black Diamond Kilowatts (175cm) and I picked up a 32L Black Diamond Covert pack that should carry skis much better than my floppy REI pack. Since the Kilowatts are significantly fatter than my previous skis, I had to get some new skins as well. I got some STS skins that should work much better than my ClipFix skins that never did stay on very well. I thought that I would share a video that I used to fit my skins flawlessly. It's much better and easier to understand that the directions that come folded up on a small paper in several languages.
