Ski alignment ?

[NY_Nytro]

I see in the owners manual that acceptable ski alignment is 0-15mm of toe-out. Do most of you shoot for 0 ? Because mine currently have about 10mm toe-out and just wondering if I should reduce that.

Thanks

With stock skis, 10mm out is fine. So long as you like the way it handles, I wouldn't mess with it.

What if the skis aren't stock ?

Dual runner skis like Precision or Simmons must be run strait up, no toe.

What about slydogs?

I run both my sleds strait up, but they are both dual runner skis. Single keel skis are fine with a little toe out, or strait. A little toe out helps on corner bite, but is a sacrifice at higher speed because of the extra drag.

How about dual carbides on a single runner? Toe out the same as single carbide or straight toe as in dual runners?

I always shoot for 0" or no toe, but it's important to account for slop which is always present.
Pull the ski hoops together with a light bungee; then adjust for 0".
That will result in slight toe out, but it's better than the alternative.

Good tip, thanks
