SLP direct - 208-529-0244. As far as getting a deal, my dealer treats me good but i don't know any discount places

I have found SLP direct is the WORST place to order any of their parts. Check the classified section for skis.

I bought them because they went with my sled colors too. They track down the trail super-smooth, but a sidehill is a different story. Last winter we were pulling a long sidehill. It was one of those inbetweener sidehills where it wasn't steep enough for one ski, but steep enough that you had to hang everything you had uphill with both skis on the ground.(good place for a lefty throttle)The two buddies in front of me with the powder pros went straight across. The Sly Dogs and I drifted slowly down in the trees. It was not a big deal ecause I was able to pick my way out, but it was big enough that I went home and ordered my white Powder Pros. To each his own I guess

You're not kidding about that. They can take some muscling at slower speeds, but I love mine for the most part- especially for this reason.

I've tried several different kinds of skis on the XP, and found I really like the USI Tripple threat. They work really well on the trail, and work awesome in the powder. JMO!

I did not like the Simmons Gen 2 on my Xp.

I would agree with PGTs comment as there allready light in the front end. I run Gen 2's on my Nytro and there great, but there alot heaver in the front end. I would say the Simmons Gen 1 would get my vote for your sled.
