Does anybody know what you need for mounts if you put grippers on an M?

IMO the Gripper or the SLP is the best ski for the Cat For Mt. riding. The C&A are to square on the tail, like the stock skis. And makes for some of the side hill issues. Spent alot of time with this last spring, cutting and trimming on perfectly good skis. All for the cause!

I didn't use anything extra other than some thin aluminum bar stock pieces as a spacer between the cat rubber and the ski.

I run my skis in the narrowest position and had to cut down the lip on one side of the groove on the grippers. I just used some end cutters and got it as flat as I could.

grippers

Ok thanks if I could find a used pair I sure think they would be better than stock.

In blower snow, they are.

About the only thing worse about them is the tips are kind of soft so you can auger them into stiffer snow pretty hard doing drops.

I do wish they were a little stiffer. But then they wouldn't work as well at lower speeds.......
