Can someone recommend a ski to put on that won't push like the stock ones do

Consensus is its not the ski its the carbides, get snow trackers - aggressive.

I can say semi-aggressive snow trackers push. Definitely try aggressive if you want front end bite. No I have not tried them. I am going back to shaper bars only because of the cost or I would try the trackers. No darting is very very nice!

So you can put two snowtrackers on each ski. $600 is a lot to spend on carbides

Just need one side not both. 1 pair on each ski would be too much. Just use cheap 4" or something for the inner ski carbide.

I just put a set of tuner 3's on the old apex and i must say it's night and day difference it carves like its on rails and mo more darting the wife says she can turn it now without tiring her out

for how i ride/conditions, tuners sucked. my 2nd favorite ski is curves with 6" stud boy shaper bars with a 1/4" shim at rear of rubbers over the 1/2" rubber i use with the stock rubbers. handled great on trails and only pushed in really soft conditions.

I would use the Yamaha single keel with the the biggest ACE bar or snow trackers. If it still pushes, crank the front spring pre load higher.

I bought a '16 last year. After my first ride I changed to the upgraded rear shock. That change made for a much more comfortable ride, but, pushed like crazy. This year I put on the Snowtrackers made for the tuner skis, as recommended by so many posts. After setting up the ski alignment and suspension per Snowtrackers recommendation, I absolutely love how it handles now. Barn of Parts sells trackers for the tuners for $250. That is for a complete set for 2 skis.

I just put the aggressive snowtrackers with pilot 6.9 ski's on my 06. Wonderfully light steering! But they do push in some situations. Icy corners, and powdery corners are 2 examples.

If corner carving is what your after, I would NOT recommend snowtrackers.

I feel like the ski combo I have on there currently is a great ALL AROUND setup. But NOT great in every situation.

I have the tuner skies with Woody's 6 inch carbide. When your in loose snow the front end pushes I've been told snowtrackers aggressive
