Black Diamond Glop Stopper Skin Wax

Spring corn and warm afternoons are where the Black Diamond Glop Stopper Skin Wax pays off. This skin wax goes onto your climbing skin plush to keep wet snow from sticking and building up. Your skins stay lighter and glide better, so you're not hauling snow blocks up the skin track.

Why we like it:

It fixes glopping. Few things on a spring tour are worse than skins caked in heavy snow, and a quick application keeps that from happening.

Features and Functions:

Glop Stopper is made for spring tours and temperature inversions, when waterlogged snow tends to stick to skin fabric and weigh it down. Applying it to the plush smooths the fibers and increases glide while preventing that buildup. Black Diamond uses a plant-based, biodegradable, and petroleum-free formula, and it weighs 50g, small enough to live in your pack all season.

Bottom Line:

Every touring skier should have this in the pack once temperatures warm up. It's simple insurance against heavy, sticky skins on spring days.
