welter,
Thanks for the great report, and beautiful pictures. I went on a Yellowstone trip years ago.

You mentioned something I have always wondered about. I always thought carbides only helped on ice, or other hard surfaces like asphalt. Would 2 more inches of carbide help on a packed snow surface, like you were on? Doesn't your complete runner penetrate the surface, and even the keel of your ski?

I'm thinking of buying Pilots, and appreciate the comment on them.

If i absolutely had to i would go back out west.. Only if there is no snow in michagan or wisconsin in feb.

The snow was very hard backed...

Carbides always make a difference, exept for fresh snow..

2 more inches of carbides would make alot more difference..

My buddies had 8 inch carbides on there ZR's and complained about how hard they turned.. but mine turned easily..
