POLL: What Skis are you running?

[racecar]

What are you guys running for aftermarket skis. I am thinking of up grading to c&a xcs' , I do a lot of northern Quebec riding. Should I be looking at others skis?
Cheers.

What type of riding goes on in northern Quebec? Trail, criss over or off trail. I personally am using simmons gen 2 skis for some cross over action.

I put Doo 6.9 Pilot skis on mine and it feels like power steering. I would stay away from aggressive skis on these 4 strokes unless you have Popeye arms and work out regularly.

X2, darting is a bitch.

A lot of high speed running 60-100+ mph stuff and a little bit of short corner stuff. I want something that works on hard pack and fresh snow on hard pack. Ya I know, want my cake and eat it too. Lol

Strike that ?.. I'm seeing roughly $109.

What's everyone run for a runner on the 6.9 pilots and how do they mount to the sidewinder ? How do they compare to curves for strictly trail riding?

 

[SideHogger]

I bought curve skis after only one ride in powder snow with tuners. Rode sled locally and in Vermont this past weekend. Very tight trails and sled corners like its on rails. Steering effort is pretty easy and that's after getting off a friends Apex with power steering. Even he liked the way it handled and the effort it took. I can definitely recommend Curves IMO!

Looking through many threads i see there is a fairly diverse spread of what skis people are running, trying to plan what ski to run on a new Sidewinder LTX SE. So What skis are you running?

Hopefully this thread/poll may act as a summary for others looking into aftermarket skis, and help to get an idea what everyone is running.

Part 2: Did you try messing with the tuner? Different carbides, set-up etc.? Or did you just swap right away.

Trying to gauge if its best to make the jump right away, or has anyone taken some time to play with the Tuner using different carbides, and set-up to make it more effective.

Lastly if you changed what didn't you like about the stock skis?
I am finding the skis in loose snow are pushing with the stock dual 4 inch carbides, and in hard packed snow riding fast i am getting some unpredictable ski-lift when the ski doesnt push. This is why i am contemplating changing up the skis.

I am running C&A Pro Razor's with slim jim doolies and absolutely love them so far. Light steering with zero darting and no uneasiness that the tuners gave me in corners. This thing rails the corners!

C&A Pro Razor's with slim jim doolies. They work awesome with very light steering and she rails the corners.

since those slim jims hang down they must slow one down some>?
