Quick test run with a scrap of skin I had. The loop idea is a no go, as it is too thick to fit through the ski. A long tab works for now, but I may cut it back to keep it from snagging. Looks like it will work. Skimo sells skin by the CM, so I am going to order some up and make a set. They have 100%...
