Cut&Go System
Cut once, fits forever
Montana ’s Cut&Go System makes cutting skins as easy as possible. You attach the skin to the ski tip using the clamp, pull it over the running surface, and secure it at the back with the Tip&Tail clamp before neatly trimming the excess on the sides along the edge using the included cutting tool. The result is a skin that’s precisely tailored to the width and shape of your ski or splitboard, ensuring no edges are exposed and no snow can accumulate. The clamp at the tip holds securely even in deep powder and changing conditions, while the Tip&Tail fastener at the tail provides additional stability. Especially with splitboards, where the skins must fit precisely into two halves, this precise fit pays off noticeably during the ascent. Once cut to size, the skin can be easily attached and removed season after season without any additional effort.
A good example of this system is the ADRENALINE Cut&Go 170 mm Split Clamp Tip&Tail, which was developed specifically for splitboards with clamp and tip-and-tail bindings. The Adrenaline series is among the most versatile skins in the Montana lineup and is suitable for a wide range of touring conditions, from hard firn to soft powder. If you’d like an overview of the entire Montana selection, you’ll find all available models and widths on the Montana brand page at ski-shop.ch. There, you can filter skins directly by ski width and intended use, which makes selecting the right model much easier. If you have any questions about the correct width or custom cutting, our team will be happy to assist you personally.
Fusiontec Base
Grippy on the mountain, glides effortlessly on flat terrain
Montana ’s skins feature a mohair-nylon blend in the skin surface, which provides enough grip for steep ascents while also allowing for smooth gliding on flatter sections. The Fusiontec adhesive layer eliminates the need for traditional, often sticky skin adhesive and can instead be cleaned with water if it loses its grip over time. This keeps the skin functional over many uses without requiring a time-consuming re-adhesion process. The lightweight construction is especially noticeable on long tours, where every extra gram on the ski makes a difference. Even in sub-zero winter temperatures and variable snow conditions, the grip remains reliable—a particular advantage on multi-day tours or when frequently putting on and taking off the skins.
For splitboard setups like the ADRENALINE Cut&Go 170 mm Split Clamp Tip&Tail, the combination of Fusiontec adhesion and a sturdy clamp attachment is particularly important because the two skin halves must sit precisely on the split running surface. If you regularly use different skis or an additional splitboard, you’ll find various widths and lengths in the Montana lineup to suit nearly any setup. You can find a complete overview of all currently available models on the Montana brand page at ski-shop.ch. This allows you to take your time comparing which skin best suits your skis or splitboard and your touring style.
Skis and Splitboards
From the first ascent to multi-day ski traverses
Montana Skins accompany you from your first short ascent in a nearby ski resort to a challenging multi-day ski traverse in the high mountains. Beginners benefit from the straightforward Cut&Go system, which ensures a clean fit even without much experience, while experienced backcountry skiers appreciate the reliability of Fusiontec grip in changing conditions. For splitboarders, the split skin version with clamp and Tip&Tail attachments is particularly practical, as both halves of the board are securely fastened independently of each other. Even when frequently switching between ascents and descents—such as on ski tours with multiple counter-slopes—the skins can be attached or removed quickly and easily. This makes the Montana line ideal for both leisurely half-day tours and ambitious projects in open terrain.
If you’re looking to equip your setup specifically for splitboard tours, the ADRENALINE Cut&Go 170 mm Split Clamp Tip&Tail is a skin designed specifically for this purpose. For other ski or splitboard widths, it’s worth checking out the rest of the Montana lineup, which is clearly organized on the Montana brand page at ski-shop.ch. There, you’ll also find future additions to the accessories section as soon as more models become available in the shop. If you’re unsure about the right width or length, our team will be happy to advise you directly.
