C & A vs Pilot 6.9's (out west)

[enis750]

my 06 has the Pilot 6.9's on it
i ran the C & A's (cant remeber which ones) on my 03.5 summit and loved them - except they were a royal pain in my a$$ to install (the width of the ski where the spindle goes, was narrower than stock

i have an opportunity to buy a pair of C & A's ADX Advantage X's for a good price
but i noticed that the tip of the ski sits much lower, than the stock and even my old C & A's did
they seem very "sleek"
and the opening where they mount, is wider than my old ones, so they should bolt up fairly easy

what advantage or disadvantage would this present (the lower ski tips), when using them in deep pow??
will it make the sled dive more???

anyone running these same skis or have had any experience w them?
I see A LOT of the slednecks team runs them, even on their backcountry sleds - but are they the XT's, that are 7.25" wide??
i think Phatty was running the C & A's on his old white/black REV from a few vids back

any help much appreciated!!

I ran the C&A's infact I used to sell them. Turn on a dime and give you 8 cents change.

Best submarine ski out there for mountian riding, once in the powder never see them until you get back to the trail. On the trails I give them a 9 out of 10 in the powder I give them a 3 out of 10.

I run MODS skis www.modsskis.com now and like them, every one likes something different.

submarine ski!! hahha! thats good!
i LOVE the mod skis, but cant seem to put the $$ for them
i can get these C & A's for under $200CDN, so it's a decent deal

i wasnt suppose to get a new sled this year, so mama bear has put her foot down on "sled renos" this year.....so i have to be sneeky and get them somehow!!

big fan of the XT's here.....i like to turn and turn NOW! lol ridden sleds with simmons and other dual carbide skis and hated them because they just aren't aggressive enough for me i guess.

i did like the powder pro's though.

Same here. I got the C&A XTX's and when you want to turn, you turn!
