Winter camping or hut-to-hut skiing with a big pack is much easier with full-length skins. On a day trip devoted to carving as many turns as you can, you may do just fine with shorter skins. How often you ski can also determine how much you want to invest in your skins.
For telemark and randonee skis with wide tips and tails, you have 2 choices. You can use waist-width skins on these skis, but a significant portion of the ski base at the tips and tails will not be covered, reducing climbing grip. Or you can buy skins in a width close to that of your skis' tips and then trim them to the exact hourglass shape of your skis, allowing optimal climbing grip.
To store skins, make sure they are completely dry, then fold them, sticky sides together. Use the mesh sheet typically provided with skins to make it easier to pull the skins apart. This also prolongs the life of the adhesive. Keep some skin wax handy, too, to prevent freezing or ice/snow buildup.
Snow can sometimes be too steep or icy for skins alone to provide enough traction. Use ski crampons to add traction and security for going up or crossing especially steep, icy slopes. Ski crampons usually attach to the binding hinges. When you step down, the crampon bites in; when you lift your foot, it comes up off the snow.
Homemade vegan baked potato skins are the perfect easy appetizer that are also gluten free! A salty and addictively crispy potatoey base piled with vegan cheddar, creamy mashed potatoes, green onions and sour cream.
These vegan baked potato skins are the 100% indulgent tasting but also 100% better for you version of their classic counterpart. With crispy, buttery tasting skins. Loaded up with melty vegan cheese. Piled high with fluffy creamy potato mash. And topped with chives and [vegan] sour cream.
The first time I had heard of potato skins was at a diner in my small town, the kind with hand dipped milkshakes and a salad bar you paid for by weight. I was out to dinner with my high school boyfriend and wanted to branch out from my typical salad, fries, and a milkshake meal there (lol that sounds so much more ridiculous when typed out).
Alas, there would be no potato skins for me, not then and not for years after. When they did eventually creep into my life a decade or so later, I had gone from vegetarian to vegan and made them in my own kitchen. It was love at first bite!

Slice each cooked potato in half and use a paring knife to cut a rim around the edge. Use a spoon to scoop out the middle, leaving about 1/3 inch of potato on top of the skins. (Reserve the excess filling for making Baked Potato Soup!)
These potato skins are amazing! I made them on New Years when my friends and I were watching the bowl games. We all devoured them. I love the tip to brush them with bacon grease. Thanks so much for the recipe!
Bake and Slice Potatoes: Bake in the oven at 400ºF for 1 hour. For large potatoes, cut each potato lengthwise, into three sections, creating three long slices. (So each potato should yield two skins, plus a middle section that you can discard or use to make baked potato salad :). For small potatoes, just cut in half.
To Freeze: Scoop the filling from the baked potato and allow the skins to cool. Store them in a freezer safe container for 2-3 months. Thaw them in the refrigerator overnight and then continue with broiling and filling the shells (step 5 of the recipe).
You are able to get duplicates of skins, which you will be able to trade up for better skins. You will also be able to trade skins of the same rarity for skins of that rarity, This acts as this game's pity system. [Currently Unimplemented]
