So wifes sled (06 600 Summit SDI) needs some new ski's after a meeting with a tree, was looking on line and she really wants to go with pink to match her graphics, well it looks like CA pro and USI are the only 2 companies that make pink ski's. I have zero knowledge of the USI brand and how and if they work out here. CA Pro seem to be a great race ski and again not sure how they work in the powder. Any feedback would be very helpful, we have been using the stock ski and really she has no issues with how it has been working over the years. Wish Simmons would make that color for her
USI Skis or CA pro anyone run them in the Mountains?
- Thread starter snowrdr
- Start date
Maybe we could be guinea pigs???I run the C & A Pro XT's on my 800 Rev out west and love them. Many people from my hometown that ride out west use them as well, (hense how I got into them). Work great float nice too. Don't know much about USI, heard they were nice but never used them. One thing I have to say they do do, is dart around when your on the trail, but thats the trail and who likes it anyways! Hope it helps

I've always had C&A Pro XT's on my sleds and I would never ride any other ski. Love them in the powder and on the trail. They do great in just about any snow condition. However they are a very aggressive ski and have heard lots of people complain it takes too much effort to make them turn at slower speeds. I've never really had an issue with this but I've also got pretty big arms. If they are for your wife you may want to consider that unless you want her forearms to look like popeye's at the end of the season.

I have run C & A's in the mountains and will run them again this year
I loved mine last year on my 03.5 REV Summit 144
But i will say this - they are a complete PITA to put on a REV chassy
i seriously spent 2 hours putting mine on
I wanted to maintain the rubber piece that goes under the spindle, but just couldnt do it - it has to be cut to fit
as well, the ones I ran last year didnt fit the Summit spindle w the spacer, I had to cut the spacer for it to fit right
i have the XT's (the 6" wide ones, not the wide ones) and they fit much better -side to side
great looking ski, great performance but a pain to install

Definatly wrestled with mine for a while as well. Didn't have to cut down the rubber piece at all but it took me and 2 other plus a hammer to make it come together. Ended up laying the sled on its side and having one guy push on the bars (while the sled was on its side) and the other guy pushing on the ski while I lined the bolt up and hammered it through the hole.

go to SLP powder pro
powder pro is a great ski
a little spendy but worth it
a riding buddy hit a tree with
the new ones the wife got him for xmas
tweaked it pretty good
took it off and put in a tub of very
hot water and back it came

x2 on SLP Powder Pro ran USI project X on my rev they were ok great trail ski but just ok in the powder love how the pp handle in the deep I think they make me a better rider as another option i ran some 6.9 pilots and thought they were prety good in the pow.

I'd say The Powder Pro's and Simmons Gen 2 are the top of the line but with your choices i'd go with the C&A's
I would recommend CA Pro XTX skis. They are the same width and length as the XT skis, but the keel is 1/2" shorter for easier steering and trail riding. Along with a 6" round bar carbide it would be a great combo for riding in the powder and on trails. Feel free to give us a call with any questions - 888-321-6789

I run the XT's on my XP and they are awesome out west.
My old man runs just the regular C&A's on his freestyle. night and day difference.
Sleds will actually turn...its crazy!
Wouldnt recomend for ladies or people who arent on their game. They grab hard and you better have your sh*t together.

Do you know which kind of skis your dad has? There are definitely skis that will work better in certain applications better than others.
