[family man]

I have USI skis. I believe they are a superior product.

stockers work well. put some 1/4" shims under the rear of the ski rubber. Also make sure the tallest part of the rubber is in the back. No need to waste $250 plus on skis.

I have tried C&a's. They work but not any better than the stockers.

I beg to differ on the c+a vs the stock... I tried all the tricks to get the stock ones to 'bite' better...no luck.... I also have the 2002 xc 700...a lil gear work ....ripsaw track....144.... Hooks up nice.... C+a skiis....10 inch carbide.....rear sissors blocks in the back hole .....nice transfer and still steers awsumm ....no washout in the corners at all....ride all day 150 to 250 miles and never get popeye arms....just my set up.

What works for 1 doesn't work for all

I agree, I personally like ski doo's pilot ski's. I had a pair of usi's on but for me the stock ski's worked better. The usi's gave me great turning abbilty, but much more effort needed to turn, went back to the pilot's put another carbide runner on the outside and the stering was as good with less effort. Hate the popeye arms. lol.

SLP Powder Pros with a 7.5" Shaper bar carbide. The shape of the Powder pro is such that it will run flat on hard surface and only penetrate the pack. The deep side of the ski will dig in loamy snow buildup in the corners. If you get onto lakes with deeper fluff, they will help float the front end and still retain awesome performance. Definately worth a shot. My other suggestion is the USI brand. For the cost, the SLP ski is a deal.

Oh no, another opinion! I took my doo pilots off and put on the trusty old precisions. My reasoning for this is that I have 12" of carbide on each ski touching the surface all the time. It does not "push" in the corners at all! Second reason is that in deeper snow they give some lift instead of plowing, and the most fun reason is they go across water like nobody's business. I'm going to add that I have never and will never run over the ducks and I don't mean that as a joke.
