Plastic skis for a 95 XLT SP?

[Irv]

My son, who will be 12 by next winter will be riding my old Indy XLT so I am curious what would be the best/easiest to steer plastic ski/carbide combo for him?

It currently has the original stock steel skis with Woodies dually carbides on it and although I haven't ridden it yet with this combo, my bil, who is a big man, said it was hard to steer?

I am curious about Kimpex Arrows or even stock Polaris plastic skis and wonder what you think of those?

Any and all info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks....

I have a 1997 xlt sp xtra 12 wedge chassis with the factory plastic skis and they steer a lot better than a friend who had the same sled with slp trail skis, I had woodys 6" carbides on it when i trail rode it with 144 studs and seemed to do as well as the sled/chassis would allow for handling/pushing/darting

Thanks ABL, I have also heard good things about the Polaris plastic skis but for the life of me I can never seem to find a pair or when I do the price is usually right off side or they are already sold

I can pick up some Arrows from Royal for under $400 complete with carbides so that is the way I am leaning so far.

Appreciate your info, thanks

I know, really old post, but I did end up purchasing some of these for my son's XLT but I realized I didn't get any rubber ski saddles?

I looked at some links but see no pics or reference to any rubber saddles at all??

Do I no longer require the rubber ski saddle with these skis, or do I just use the stock Polaris rubber ski saddles?

Thanks.

Picked up the rubber saddles yesterday and the installation kit.

The saddles weren't included but the installation kit was suppose to be so N/C for that.
