What is the best single keel ski?

[Indy]

I want your opinions so please respond and why you think which is the best for trail riding and on occasional off trail ride.

I have logged several miles on the C&A pros with great success. The offer decent flotation with a nice packed trail bite.

and you do not have to worry about wearing them out, like one piece ones, you just change the skins.

Powderpros. I really liked the SLP SLTs on my VMax, good bite with very easy steering, but I don't think they are aggressive enough.

The SLP PPs have a much deeper keel, and the wings offer excellent flotation and turning ability in loose snow, while only the central (narrow) keel makes contact on groomed trails.

I'm running mine with 8" Bergstroms, going to try his triple carbides soon.

One issue is that they are very wide, the typical tie-down doesn't make contact on the outside wing, and they overlapped the center mark on my 101" trailer.
Another is that you should probably use the Bergstrom shims to reduce darting under certain (icy snow) conditions.

OK, you have been a huge supporter of Simmons Flexi ski. What happened that you are now looking at single keel skis?

The simmons push to much with my M10. I have to put way too much ski pressure to keep the ski's from floating accross the corner. I want to try a single keel. But I am not sure yet.

Indy, I did not thnk anyone was as bad as me with new mods. I think you take the cake. I am very happy with my C&A's so far. Remember, I have both and rode many miles on each ski.

KbxSrx talk is cheap give up some photos of these skiis and if they are anything like the polished set of ekholms I had on my exciter the keel was rounded and not very agressive but very good looking. Unfortunatly purdy dont rail you around corners.

 

[KbxSrx]

That could be Mikey, our ski is predominately for mountains, hence the wide skin. We arent into railing.

I ran the stock skis last year I tried the whole shooting match sucked the limiters up as far as possible, woodys doolys, and still couldn't get it to corner so I could trust it, I went to C&A's and couldn't beleive the difference they stick so well on slow twisty trails I could hardly turn the bars(as Welter stated last year) had to let the straps back out to around the stock setting and I am working back. These skis are so good they actually make your sled more adjustable.
