I run Powder Pro's on everything but the wifes trail sled. She's got SLT's and they are a real good trail ski and the few times I had the sled off trail I didn't see a downside to them but haven't spend enough time off-trail with them to give a good comparison. The only negative I have to say about the Powder Pro's is when there is a crust on the snow, once you break through they dive right in (much like most other ski's in those conditions). Last year I tried the "carl's cut" on my 900 and what a difference that made.... I can ride that thing on one ski for ever and it pulls to a side hill so much easier. On my Gen 2 sleds I couldn't really ask for more so I doubt I'll be cutting them up. There have been days where I've had to ride all day on the trail and haven't once found myself wishing I had a better set of ski's than the PP's, I don't really see any darting with those, I did try a pair of Grippers one day and was glad to have the Pro's back in the trailer as they went on that night.
There's so much more to "darting" than just the ski. (runners, ski pressure, ski alignment, etc).
