VERSATILE & FAST FOR EXPERIENCED USERS
At G3, every feature is designed to make the backcountry experience smoother and more intuitive. The new ALPINIST skins focus on the essential details that make a real difference. We’ve returned to our most trusted tip and tail designs, including the articulating hands for the tip connector and a simple rubber tail strap with a camming tail connector. It’s a purposeful design that makes skinning simple, secure, and intuitive, so you can focus on the climb ahead, not your gear.
Our NEW ChannelBond Adhesive is a game-changer for transitions. The vertical channel pattern provides a reliable connection to your ski. It is formulated to stay aggressive and tacky, ensuring a perfect bond on your base for reliable reapplication, even on those cold, wet days when you need it most. More laps, less frustration.

"The G3 skins are the easiest skins I've ever cut!... For function in the mountains, these were my favorite pair in 10+ years. The tip adjusts to different ski shapes, the glue is sticky but not messy, they glide and grip, and the tail clip stays in place. The longer tail clip is easier to pull over the tail. When it's time to ski down, the skins fold up nice and compact to fit easily in the backpack."
