Now that i'm getting more used to my Viper as I got it, I'm investigating what easy tweaks I have available to me to dial it in for own preferences. First up I'm wondering about the adjustable ski stance since it's such an easy change.
My Viper is set up to the narrower ski stance. What are the pros/cons to bumping that out the 1" wider stance? My guess would be a bit more stability on trails but a bit harder to get the sled on edge when riding off trail?

Lot of this applies to the type of riding you do most, which front end width you have and ski type and width and experience level

That's right, narrower skis make it easier to tip over, and wider is better for cornering. Be sure to post your specs and riding preferences.
