I know this is a bit of a rehashed question but......I am looking for a ski for my Nytro that is lighter steering. I currently have Simmons Gen2 and was wondering what the easiest steering ski would be? Stock? Gen3? any help appreciated. :face-icon-small-ton
Is there and easier steering ski?

The MT9 ski off the 2012 nytro mtx steers easy. It has a very shallow keel compared to the previous mtn skis. I like the older skis better overall, but if you are looking for easy steering try the MT9.
Gen III are out. They are awsome in light powder but in any kind of setup spring conditions they are almost as hard as the Gen II's do to the dual keel design Anything with a single keel will be easier to steer. I keep reading posts from people going back to the stock 08-09 OEM mountain ski for all around performance. I have read some people did not like the new style found on the newer nytro sleds but skies are a very personal choice. Heard good things about Curves i heard that C&A are a little too aggressive for most people. Since the OEM ski is loosely based on the very popular powder pro ski which is praised for its all around performance, I hate to say it but I think the stock ski go blamed for the poorly designed geometry of the front end of the nytro. You might want to look into tweaking your rear suspension to see if you can take some weight off the front end of the sled to make it turn easier if you dont already have one get a steering relocator. it puts the steering into a more natural location making it easier to turn as well.
I know its not the same sled but I had a RX-1 turbo with yamaha MTX skis and was looking for less sterring effort. I ended up with a set of slydog powderhounds and it was night and day difference in steering effort.
I would not hesitate to run them on a Nytro.

My 2012 nytro skis r the easiest steering I've found. The push a lot in slow, off camber stuff but I don't mind since I have arthritis in my left shoulder and the other skis were tearing my shoulder up

X2 on Slydogs.. I have also heard the stock Pro skis work well.
Skidoo pilot skis feel like power steering, I was surprised when I tried them on a turbo apex that was setup very nose heavy for chute climbing
That's good feedback, thanks. I will try the stockers first and see how they do.

curves
I going to say x2 on the curves. I have the C&A mtx skis too, had the stock mtx skis, the curves are much, much better ski in anything but powder.
Having said that, It is much more important to setup your suspension correctly on the front and the rear. It makes a night and day difference.

I have done very little setup on the suspension and will have to do some homework on the subject. I believe the limiter strap is about in the middle position, the tighter the strap the more weight you take off the front end, right?
I like the stock skies.
Thanks SNWMBL for straightening me out on the limiter strap. You guys have given me some great options for skis, how do the handle on the trail? My simmons are a bear to steer but hold the trail well.

Check out the new Curve XSM platform with two different Thruster options!

preload
Most trail guys run the second hole, I run my straps in the first hole.
Your front spring preload on the Nytro is most critical. There is a great thread on this already but basically you want to reduce your front spring preload from the stock setting (a lot).

i ended up going back to the stock skis on my 08. tried simmons gen 2, gen 3. way too hard to steer. Keep in mind the stock skis off a 2008 are different than the 2012 skis i believe those have the blow molded skis (look like crap imo) but may work
