What ski color combo should I go with?

[walter]

I am going with a set of C and A skiis. Debating what color I should go with? I don't really want all orange. Maybe some sort of orange/blue or blue with white ski tips? Or white with orange or blue ski loops? Help me choose the right color guys.

Pick the fastest color. Haha

Blue with orange or white tip

Look it from the side, it will help you to choose.

Black with blue tip will also be good

Here's what blue with orange looks like.

Yamahaguys can help with orange and blue if they chime in

Well what color is the fastest? haha yeah I was thinking maybe black as well. not sure gunna give it some thought

In my opinion since the sled itself is already a lot flashy, bright skis won't really make a difference. And with black skis you will be able to put them on others machines.

Orange is more skillful on snow then blue.

Just go with the blue-orange marble combo. Those are SlyDogs ?

 

[yamahaguy]

Every viper here has slydogs except the one the white bumper that sled has C and A I believe? Lots of colors to choose from. The marble looks good and so does the camo look too.

I'm liking the slydogs there.. Never ridden a set, always been a C and A guy. How you guys like the slydogs?

Of course everyone's opinion will be different but my previous sled had them, my viper has them and my next sled in 2020 will have them. I love the extra flotation with the 8 inch skis for off trail but the 7 inch work excellent also like on SnoNinja's sled. I prefer the ski rides on top rather than pushing through the snow so width is important. Wider increases safety also because you're less likely to hit something hidden under the snow like a stump or log. The extra tall keel on the bottom helps when trying to turn in powder or trying to steer during a side hill or carve. The big ski loop makes for a excellent grab handle also when you're stuck, lol. It happens... They are pretty darn good on trail to but its not what they are ment for. Just depends on where and how you ride.

I have seen the Orange also. Would consider set depends how long I'm keeping it.

Those are Curves on Buddhas sled. Sly Dogs are great on and off trail, but are a bit darty on trail off thorottle. Most aggressive single keel skis are darty in comparison to the tuners. I may try a set of slimjims next year. Even though Woodys doesn't make a slydog specific slimjim, the bolt pattern is the same as Curve, and others have run them on the dogs. Might be best of both worlds.
