which skis??

X3!

I just don't get all this love for the LAME stock grippers - they suck if you ask me. Mods hold a sidehill better (less effort) and initiate carves better/turn easier. I guess when you're used to the BEST you just won't settle for less. Same has been posted by Mods users over in Backcountry Rebels so I KNOW I'm not the only one who feels this way!

Have FUN!

Dissagree, had Mods, and have had several sets of Grippers... Grippers are the best skis if you ask me and I have also had a set of Powder Pros and Simmons.

Not to be a dick. But why the hell are you asking this question when you are going to have both skis in your possession? So instead of asking the a question that won't likely get you the answer you really want, just be smart about this and compare them for yourself.

i'm going to sell them soon to help pay for new running boards.

2xm3- where have you seen anything other than black and red grippers? i would take them in white.

Stick with the grippers. They will handle fine on the trails of pittsburg, and your arms wont be as tired at the end of the day.

thanks, that helps alot. alot easier to hear it from somone who rides where i ride. maxxitout says the same thing, was just looking to see how others felt.

Ran the stock grippers on my '011 for a while and then installed my C&A's. The C&A's are better on trails and set up snow, don't push as much, but the grippers are a little better in powder. So, depends on what you ride the most of and how you ride. The C&A's are more precise steering but also steer harder. Only way to know for sure is to try them both on your sled and the way you ride. Takes less than 10 minutes to change them out. Try them both and get rid of the ones ya don't like as well!!!!!!
