I would like to put a wider ski on my 550F, it has the 5.7 pilot skis on it but i need more flotation in soft snow. Any suggestions as to where to purchase and what width to look at would be appreciated
Google is your friend. Quick search of make/model should get you someplace that offers wide flotation skis.
I put the wide ski skins on my Skandic and I wouldn't do it again. I'll probably take them off before the season. They adversely affect the handling and tippieness of the machine mostly because the big wide ski catches everything and throws the machine around.
