The addition of the Pilot DS 3 ski to the Summit X and SP packages for 2016 offers riders more adjustability to stay on top of the snow. The 2016 version of the
Pilot DS 3 offers an interchangeable ski tip design that allows riders to swap out to a wider or narrower ski tip depending on riding conditions. The DS 3 also offers a slightly deeper (0.47 inches) keel than the previous DS 2.
Go with the narrower ski tip (which is closer to the DS 2 design) on days with low snow or hard-packed conditions. For deep powder days, switch over to the wider ski tips for easier floatation. Swapping ski tips is easy enough; you can even change mid-ride to get the best performance from your sled for the day’s conditions.
