Double Down Carbides on SLP Powder Pro Skis

[mbeaunh]

I'm thinking of adding 8" Double Down carbides to SLP Powder Pro Skis on my 2014 Viper RTX to address significant darting.

Has anyone tried this combination?

What were your results good and / or bad?

Thanks

I’ve never used dual carbides on SLP Skis or found a reason to. Check your ski alignment and try reducing the ski pressure. All versions of SLP skis are pretty dart free with single carbides and a good setup. I’ve had Powder Pro‘s in the past. They are more aggressive than SLT or Mohawks so “track” more and can seem more darty at times. It’s not uncommon to have to increase your front skid shock spring preload with aggressive skis like these to reduce steering pressure which will help with darting if you have too much. Nothing wrong with dual carbides but I prefer singles and you shouldn’t need dual carbides if that’s what you are trying to fight. Powder Pro’s are great skis but give Mohawks a try next time. They do about everything a PP will do but with less effort. We have been running Mohawks and SLT’s for many years now. My favorite Skis by far and I’ve had Curves, C&A and a bunch of others.
Try the duals if you wish but check out the above and I bet you’ll be a happier camper with what ever carbide you use with those powder pros

SLP Inc. suggested the exact same thing as you. I'll give that a try. Thanks!
