Meet the Powder Hound 8X — Lighter and Sleeker, but Still Built to Float
Slydog is stoked to drop the Powder Hound 8X, the next evolution of the fan-favorite Powder Hound 8 ski. Riders already trust the Powder Hound 8 for its killer float and side-hill control when riding heavy sleds in deep powder, and the new P8X keeps all that tried-and-true tech but adds a few sweet upgrades (check them out below!).
What’s New on the Powder Hound 8X:
- Trimmed Down Weight — lighter build means quicker response
- Topside Grippers — new traction zones up top give you solid footing when you’re standing on the ski to dig out or flip your sled. No more slip-n-slide rescues.
- Dialed-In Spindle Location – we've narrowed down the precise spindle mount location for improved side-hilling and handling.
- Sleek New Look — modern lines and angles make the P8X look as good as it rides.
The Powder Hound 8X is made for riders with big, heavy sleds who live for the deep powder days and want gear that can take a workout while still looking sharp.
Price starts at $410 for a set of two skis plus loops. Mount kits available for most sled makes & models, and several carbide options available.
