I’ve had my Slydogs bend completely on top of themselves a couple times. They come right back and DEFINITELY float better than the stockers. I agree, however, that the stockers aren’t too shabby, but tend to push and sink a bit more for sure. Good skis for personal preference are a very worthwhile upgrade in my opinion.
Only thing with the iqs is that some people (epecially with the fusion) experience hard cornering and the sled turning like a tank. But see the forums here on HCS for people diagnosing this problem. I thought mine could be better and simply installed a set of Slydog Trail skis and they dress up the sled as well as make the sled corner much better!
I would recommend anyone looking for aftermarket skis to buy a set of these.I put them on my 07 Gade and i cant believe the difference. Sharp on trails,no darting,great in the powder. Awesome skis SLYDOG .
I went from PowderPros to PowderHounds and found a lot better flotation wih the Hounds and nice steering. Also was able to hold a side hill like I’d been wishing I could for many years.

I love my slydogs, I have 11,000 miles on them and although wore they are still in OK shape.
I wanted to let all at SlyDog know that you have far surpassed my expectations. I took a gamble this year switching skis. I have been a long time Flexi-ski customer and this year I decided I wanted something different, something that floats better, something that looks awesome and more importantly overall functionality. I ordered a set of Urban Camo Black/white/grey Powder Hounds for my 900 Dragon, yes I said 900 Dragon. Not only do your skis help my heavy hog float like a dream, they don’t dart, and they look amazing on the sled. The SlyDog Powder Hound skis are by far the best performing ski on the market. Thank you very much.
I bought some powder hounds, and 4″ carbides I really like them, they turn like im on skates on packed snow or ice, I was even amazed at how well they turned on ashphalt more recently…. They give very good floatation in our deeper snow. They’ve held up to some rock abuse quite well i think. One thing I really like is how flexy they are. When I hit something they basically just fold in half. When I remove the skidoo from the object the skis always look just like it did before. My precisions always showed creases where the ski folded.
Once again I have to give you praises. Just got back from another trip and am just so impressed on the quality and feel of your skis. Got a lot of looks too!!
