So I have a pair of Armada JJs mounted with Marker Jester bindings. I'm wondering if I'd be able to put skins on them and go up a groomed run even though I don't have touring bindings? haha

Its kind of a retarded question but I'm desperate after getting my seasons pass pulled for two weeks!
 
They make some AT attatchments to reg. bindings that will let you tour. Can't remember what they're called. But yeah. Look for those. Treckers or something?
 
not sure how they wil work with jesters but if you got some bca treckers you could throw some skins on and go. Not a perfect solution to your predicament and b/c treckers can be a bit of a hassle sometimes, but its worth a shot.
 
I've looked at the BCA Alpine Trekkers but from what I've heard, their way too heavy and crap out on you so their not worth it.
 
if you get a set of trekkers along with some skins you'd be in business. i bought some trekkers this year and have used them a handful of times and they're okay. they're definitely not as reliable and easy to use as some touring bindings or dukes but they definitely get the job done. if you're just going to be running up a groomed hill they'd be fine. it's pretty fun too, you may actually enjoy it.
 
yeah, i've looked into this myself a fair bit, trekkers and skins are the only real option in your situation next to snow shoes and strapping your skins to your pack,

peace
 
skins are a piece of material that covers the bottom of your ski to provide traction for climbing (alpine touring), i'm sure if you googled it would give you pictures and stuff, G3 and black diamond stuff is really popular,
