Was riding with my family and some of them are a little timid. In the deep snow the front diving would scare them and then they would back off. I was wondering if a wider more floaty ski would help some. Was looking at mohawks as we trail ride a lot too, but trying to get them more comfortable off trail. Sleds are rmk pro 600.

Pretty sure that _ that is what Snowtech said that they put on their Alpha 1 in the current issue. I don't know what they look like, but they said that they really like that ski.

The Mohawk is about the same ski as the gripper except the ski rubbers are better. I like the powder pro ski a lot but they take more effort to turn at lower speeds. I have never tried the Simmons ski. The aftermarket ski rubbers go along way in stopping the ski from flipping up and diving in a hard pow turn or side hill, they are considerably less cost than new skis I would do that first as the gripper is a darn good ski.

X2 on Grippers. They will have better floatation and lift in the deeper stuff while still having good control everywhere else.

Mohawk is way more aggressive than a gripper. And slightly wider.
