Mass is reduced due to the saddleless design and thin profile. We installed the skis with a set of 4-inch carbides the sled’s 1.25-inch lug track had 96 studs in the center belt. The company claims each 6-inch wide ski weighs 5.4 pounds if equipped with a 4-inch carbide. Weight, or lack thereof, is the first thing we noticed about the Slydog skis. demo sled we tested them on gain traction up front. What mattered was if the skis helped our 2005 Ski-Doo MX Z X 600 H.O. We didn’t have the means to prove whether the snow melted and refroze, and frankly, we didn’t care.

This creates two channels to scoop and compress snow, and then melt and refreeze the snow to create a rail for the keel to turn against, the company claims. To understand the keel’s design, picture a pyramid that runs the length of the ski with its point stuck to the bottom of the ski. Slydog skis have a unique keel shape that provides more traction without the side-effect of darting.
