I know there's been talk about this scattered around here but would like to hear what skis you've all tried and your opinions of them. Would like to hear some real world feedback before making a decision on what to buy. Can't handle any more pushing through the corners in loose conditions. On a side note is it just this chassis that the tuners act like this.

Slydog skis guide our sleds through the deep. We are a repeat buyer of the skies for a reason, they work very very well..
Dont mess around. Just get Curves. Only reason I have Pilots is they work and the Phazer has them also. Rotate Carbides! If I could do it again Curves would be it.

I have curves on my viper, u can't get them to push, they are locked in to the ground big time! Ridden procross sleds back to back a few times now against mine with curves and there's no comparison, darting is 99% never there and they turn on anything.

So far it sounds like the curves are what I'm looking for. What carbide length are you running? Which model sled do you have?

I put 6 inch shaper bars on the tuners. Work great on hard pack but in loose snow not for me.

I liked my Powder Pro's.. then upgraded to SLP Mohawks and am very satisfied running their 6" carbides.
I do think these threads get to be a but like oil threads though... everyone thinks what they have is the best and etc..

Local cat dealer sells a lot of Powder Pros to his customers with their "version" of our sled. I just put a set of curves on mine and can't get over the difference , this is how this sled was made to handle! Try one of the mentioned brands in this thread as anything is an upgrade from tuners.
