I have snow checked a 163 Pro and am seeking opinions from those that have compared Grippers to the Powder Pros on the same sled (IQ, Edge, etc). I have been running PP's for years and really like them, however my current sled has never seen grippers. I spent time on a Pro Rmk and liked the skis. Would I like the Pro even better with my PP's strapped on?

I spent the money and bought PP for my dragon and I think that I will keep the grippers on my new PRO. I didn't feel that they made a big difference. JMO

The cut powder pros were better than the grippers on the Iq rmk's but not $300 better. I wish I had saved the money on skis after I put them on.

Not worth the money to replace grippers with pp's IMO.

I know peeps that put the Powder Pros on for winter conditions and then swapped them back to the grippers for spring and were happy.
They said the powder pros bit too hard in the spring.
