Are SLp powder pro skis worth getting?

dont know who the skis are on the new Ms but i got a set on my 07 M1K and i luv them. awesome in the fluffy stuff and i dont have a problem on hard packed trails either like some guys mentioned. WAAAAY better than the stock skis on my M7 id get them any day

you will hate them on crusty snow where you break through, they will toss you everywhere, i got rid of mine

For the M's I prefer the stock ski over PP.

I agree with that. Powder pros are okay once you get used to them but I still like the stock skis better. I wouldn't spend the money on them. I'd put it towards clutching and venting.

got a 2011 m8 and was thinkin about getting some slp powder pro skis. Are they worth getting or should I use the money on something else? I already have a super q can. I have read that some people like them and some dont. any thoughts?

I have tried Simmons Gen II's and Powder Pros on my 09, and I wound up selling the Gen II's and the PPs are sitting on the shelf right now.

The reason? Entirley too damned hard to steer in anything but 3'+ of fresh pow.

For some reason the 08+ cat spindles require a LOT more steering effort than the older 05-07 ones did apparently, and the stock ski was designed around this .... Which sucks, because the PP's are WAY better than the stockers in the powder ....

I never thought my M was tough to steer until I tried putting aggressive skis on it, then holy cow

so for an 07 the pp's might be the ticket ??
