Simmons GenII's. I got a few rides on mine now and they kill it in every way!
new skis
I have rode with my stock polaris sidehiller 2's, had simmons(gen1), had slydog powder hounds(not impressed), and most recently i have slp powder pros. I really like the powder pros, they float very well, and turn when you want them to turn. they may be a little agressive for some people. I dont know about you, when i want to make a turn i dont want to wait for it to happen 5-10 feet later(slydogs powder hounds) havent rode with the simmons gen 2 but they look like clown feet, no thanks. We only ride off trail here, except to get where we are going, and i am impressed with the slp's.

I would go SLP's all the way!!! There is this great website that always has them on sale and have really great customer service.

Like Jmgsnowman said, they may be a little aggressive for the everyday trail rider. But if you want to really shred the powder, powder pro's are the way to go!

The best powder ski for me have been the MODS.
I have been running them on every sled I owned since 2001.
Like you I want to turn now . I have tried many different skis on different sleds and always go back to MODS. Best down hill turnig ski IMO on setup snow. On trail they are ok no darting

With the 1000 the powder pros give you pretty heavy steering. Just rode with a guy with the gen II simmons on his nytro, the front stayed up good, but it took a lot of effort to tip it on its side.
thanks for the site ordered a set from them
SLP Powder Pros with the Carl's Cycle mod w/ 6" to 8" carbides (depending on preference there)
Good in powder, do not kick back when in a sidehill, good on trail & do not dart, very responsive all the way around

I would go with either Simmons GenII's or C&A pro powder skis, both are great products.
SLP powder pros-you'll love em.
