Ski's ? What do you run.

[Miker]

My stock ski's are toast and have no idea where to start.

90% mountain / Powder very little trail riding

I have an 2006 Ski-Doo Summit 800 151".

Any help is greatly appreciated.

there is snow at mid mountain in Whistler !!

Loved the MODS on my Rev.

So much so, Lance is building a mount for the Nytro, so I can run them on my Nytro..


They are great for carving/sidehilling and tearing up the pow in general.

FWIW, I did run Simmons and Slydogs on the exact same sled...and liked the MODS the best.

have had simmons on all my sleds. will put them on my 09 too.

SLP Powder Pro's are the best deep powder/sidehilling ski. Simmons are good too...

Power Pro's

The SLP Powder Pros are by far the best I have used especially for powder. They make your sled ride light and on top and are easy to turn and side hill.
I used to use SLP SLT's but these were too narrow for a heavier sled.

Everyone I ride with in the deep uses Powder Pros. Good luck. Chasman

Any one have an opinion on which skis helps a Rev sidehill in low snow conditions (or even hardpack). I like my sled as "tippy' as possible.

Simmons do pretty good with that. Im 160 soaking wet with my gear on and i can get the rev on its edge pretty easy

[Makaveli_Rev]

i put a set of white sly dogs on my xp, unfortunatly waiting for snow for final verdict. I did talk to a guy who ran them all on his xp and said the USI's turned the xp into a totally different sled and he loved them

See the white on the mountains this morning snorodeo?!

Simmons

I ran Simmons on my 06 Summit 151. They are going on my 09 Summit and I have Simmons on my 08 Everest. Very nice skis.

What mounting kit did you guys use for the powder pros? I have an 08 XP and they did not list a mount for it? Do you just use a rev mount?

In my humble opinion...

Mods are the best ski a rev has ever seen. Close second is USI's triple threats. I've had C&A's and Gen 1 Simmons on my Rev chassis sleds - better then stock, but not the best ski I've ridden. I tried slydogs which were not much better then the 6.9 Pilots.
That said - skis are a funny thing. Kinda like a girlfriend - what works for one person doesn't work for another. Ask yourself what you are looking for out of a ski? What did you not like about the ones you were running? Do you like a fast, loose ski, or one that steers heavy? Do you run in low snow conditions where you could tag rocks / stumps? Lots of things to consider...

for 90% mountain/powder the stock ski is fine. Available and affordable too.


If you were 50/50 mountain/trail I vote for Simmons. Simmons work best with the low profile trailer glides.


Aftermarket skiis to $$$$ for me for not much difference.
