I had a alpine touring rig (short wide ski) and Telemark (Longer skinny ski). I had wide skins and skinny skins. I did not like skins that was a wide as the ski, messes with the edges. Again the skins where mohair adhesive skins.

With the new shaped skis it is best to buy a skin made for the measurements of the ski. That way they cover the bottom of the ski as much as they need to for optimum traction and don't cover any of the edges allowing their use if needed.
I quit cutting them myself since it is easier and not really any more expensive to buy them the best fit.
Problem with fitting "shaped" skins to shaped skis is that they don't fold up as nicely for going back in the back. Don't forget your skin bag...
