Looking to upgrade the skis on my 04 600 switchback.

Any suggestions.

I do a lot of off trail open country and woods roads some trail


What do you suggest.?

I'd go for SLP powder pros, I rode my buddies 136" Pro-X with them , and they'd both steer and float well in the powdery snow that day. I've got SLP SLT skis on my 136" edge, works ok but I'd like to upgrade to the PP's. For trail use on a 121" , I think the SLT's works great.

C & A Pro II's work real well in the pow. Also it would not hurt to check out Simmons skiis.

I run slp power pros on my 136" prox , I think you will find them hard to beat on trail or off trail in deep powder! Shaper bars seam to really work well with this ski , I am currently running 7.5" carbides with a studded long track. Ever put a ski into the fluff on the side of the trail and get sucked right in? this doesnt happen with PP's , Way more stable then my old C&A pro skis.

I find myself doing stuff I normally wouldn't try with the stock SidehillerII's after putting on the Powder Pro's! They are great for all around use. I ordered them with the 8" race carbide (90deg.) and I like them alot better than anything else I have used. I have SLP SLT's on my other SKS and they work better than stock but don't hold a candle to the Powder Pro's. I had a pair of C&A Pro's and they worked pretty good but they were just a little longer, enough so, I couldn't fit my sled into my 10' clam shell.

I am more of a trail rider ( Not by choice either!!) and I swapped out the sidehiller's for stock XC skis and good 8in carbides.
Works great!

Sadly I don't get enough deep snow experience to offer an opinion on that!

Sure see a pile of " Powder Pro's are awesome" statements posted.
