There will be no fewer than 5 transitions (3 skins off, 2 skins on) at the Porters Speed Up, so these short videos from skimo.org will surely help with you preparation.
1st-Removing your skins.......
Note: This is the last transition of Stephane's laps and he doesnt take the time to fold his skins, which you almost always will want to do!
Next, putting on your skins......
In the above videos both racers are using specialized ski mountaineering racing gear which helps a lot with these speedy transitions, but what ever gear you are on you can adapt these techniques.

Hey Guys. If you want my opinion this putting on skins clip is not the best one. Check out Pierre Gignoux's from the SkiMonNZ links - much better ie boots, then front and back bindings then skins! Although everyone is different - some of us don't put our poles down and do the whole thing one handed eh Grant!
