I just bought a 2013 pro-rmk 600 and the left ski has a decent size chunk taken out of it on the outside. I am wondering if I can just switch the skis left-to-right and right-to-left to get the missing chunk on the inside so it doesn't catch when I carve. It sure looks like you can but I don't know if the ski has a slight curve in it.
Thanks

Check the part # (@Babbits On LINE) but I think they are the same ski part #, Unbolt from spindle and switch.

As you can see, there is no left and right part number for the ski so to answer your question they can be swapped.

What are the claims for doing the Carl's cut mod to the skis? I have some damaged skis and would like to know if this enhances the sidehill or deep powder performance/handleing...anyone?

Acts like a narrower front end when you counter steer, essentially allowing you to pull the sled over with less effort when you turn the skis and burp the throttle, and generally hold a sidehill abit easier. Carl's started offering this with their powder pros, cut new from the shop, maybe 7, 8 years ago. FWIW.
