Curve XS skis?

[Grimm]

Been monitoring a website for the past couple of weeks.
Looks to be a new snowmobile ski for us to try. They look pretty cool. I wonder how they'll do.

Here's a pic of the colour I would get:

price

i dont know if you seen the price but they list at $429 plus hardware.thats alot of money for a set of skis.shane

Yes I did, quite pricey indeed.

The hourglass form only makes sense for a ski that angles side to side, such as on a showhawk or a pair of downhill skis. For a two-ski sled though, it won't do a thing

I would have to say that the performance of these skis would dictate whether the parabolic design works or not.

Nick Pryputniewicz is the President and Lead Engineer of this company,
also a friend of mine. The price point is what it is due to small batch orders at this time. He is a sled racer and is friends with Tucker Hibbert and Malinoske(spelling?) both of wich will be using his ski.
I was going to post about this new company but he is not a sponser YET.
He was displaying at the Big East show in Syracuse this year with CNC Machined versions of his design - Big money has been spent on molds for production units, Dec 20th he starts shipping these units.
Start ups are tough but he is also going to be featured in two sled magazines this year so that should help get his orders up and price point down.

I have a set on order.

Anyone complaining about the price should think about the price they spent on their Yamaha compaired to the other brands. If you want a premium product you had better be willing to pay for it. I bought mine on hear say alone and these skis make a good sled great. My Apex gt Ltx would dart and push. No more worth the money period. Heads and tails above slydogs. One of the guys in our group was running C&A's and switched over and can't beleive the difference. If price were the only deciding factor I would have bought a Rev XP, but in my opinion quality pays for itself. Thats why I'm Yamaha and Curve XS.

Another Curve XS fan here. Love the razors on my Viper S.......but......put razors on the Nytro and the steering effort was way more than I would like. Curves steer like stock or easier......and way more predictable. Pretty much go where I point them.....

Your mileage may vary..................not available in Iraq or Afghanistan........certain individuals may experience side effects.......if you have a smile lasting more than 4 hours, DO NOT seek professional help.......
