I know that this is a bushwalking forum, bushwalkers in southern Oz seem to tend towards ski touring type activities historically.
I'm after some new skins for my skis. Most use will be on Bogong going up, rather than along. Previously used 2 different types, inc snake skis" which had side straps which adversely affected edge grip, and also glue on mohair, which were OK. Current skis are a lot wider than these skins (80mm cf 50mm), so I'm looking to upgrade. Also looking to buy online, but the few sites I've looked at onions ship to Oz (maybe skis are like thermarests?).
Any help appreciated.

TIP: The online Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.

Keep an eye on the www.ski.com.au classifieds section.
Look locally - www.thecornicestore.com.au or www.wildernesssports.com.au or http://www.rhythmsnowsports.com.au/ all stock skins.
Or try telemark-pyrenees.com
Modern skins rock.
See if you can get an edge trimmer as well.
