Ski and suspension question

[jmorden20]

2007 m8, wondering what's the best ski for mountain use. Have the original right now and the tips are so bent up its hilarious. Been looking at the grippers from Polaris. Lots say powder pros. Just looking for quick opinions and experience. Also with my sled I don't have the floats suspension. Any body with a quick idea how I should have the front setup to lift the sled up and outta snow better. I had them stiff and it seemed to trench out real easy. Just softened the front and going out tomorrow.

I'm a big fan of the grippers.

The tips flex in soft snow better than the powder pros and give them better flotation in my opinion. I like the stock skis too, I just think the grippers float a little better in blower snow.


As far as trenching goes, look up the 'geo mod' on here. That repositions the pivot points in the skid just a tad but it gets more pressure on the track.

I'll look up that geo mod. Getting a good dump of snow right now for tomorrow. Should get a good test with the new setup

Soften the fronts to be almost floppy, I think I had about an inch of threads showing when I had mine. Won't be the best on the trail. But will be much better off trail. Loosen the front track shock nearly all the way. Let out the limited straps all the way.

Grippers, they are just designed the best for backcountry riding and technical use
