What skis for m series

MEDIUMPIMPN · Oct 12, 2009

Besides stock what skis do you prefer and why. I have simmons on a m1000 and completely hate them I did however find them useful for breaking turds in half that wont flush,

I had simmons too, and switched to slp powder pros. They have treated me very well so far, they float extremely well, but they are very darty on the trails if you do any of that.

If I didn't get one hell of a deal on my powderhounds I would have stayed stock. Awsome on the trails and everywhere else but 1" or 2 of crust at high speeds could be very interesting to say the least. They're lighter and float better than stock. Pretty much all aftermarket skis that I've tried have some drawbacks(PP's, powderhounds, simmons).

We'll need pop corn soon!

The MODS skis are supposed to work very well on the M series but, they look like someone made then in their shop.

All in all, I think the overall favorite based on past posts on this topic are the Powder pros. They aren't without fault (darting on hardpack) but, for their intended purpose they are tough to beat.

stock ski works in the pow, thats all that matters

Just got an M8 this year and look forward to riding it...I've had an 1M chassis for the past 4 years and had Sly Dog skis on it and they worked very well for floating, would carve very well but didn't seem to bad for darting on the trail.

Ivebeen running the simmons skis on both my m's I like the dual carbide action. It seems to catch and guide the sled well.......................

miko · Oct 12, 2009

USI X2's. Float well, and have a similar cross section to the powder pro's without quite as deep a keel. Hold a line great when sidehilling. Head and shoulders better than the stock skis and the powderhounds (powderhounds felt the same as stock to me).

I've heard they are just shorter and don't float as well in the pow. But they are better on hardpack.

Ya the dealer had one as a demo last year and the guy that was riding it most of the season said in pow "they just sucked" He liked the M skis better. I'm going to try the powder pro's. Black ones through the cat accessories catologue aren't to bad.

jtt454 · Oct 12, 2009

I got C&A XTX which work good both on the trail and in the powder!

M8Chris · Oct 12, 2009

I have powder pros on my 07 and loved them. I'm putting powder pros on my 2010 as well. Pick it up tomorrow!
