Frequently Asked Questions

What are snowmobile skis and carbides?

Skis are the front runners that steer your sled. Carbides (or skags) are the hardened metal bars on the bottom of the ski that bite into ice and snow for steering. Carbides wear faster than skis and are user-replaceable.

How often should I replace my snowmobile carbides?

Every 1–2 seasons depending on miles and trail conditions. Hard-packed trails wear carbides fast; powder is gentle. Replace when the carbide bar is worn flush with the ski — riding on bare ski destroys the ski itself.

Plastic vs. composite vs. aluminum skis?

Plastic skis are budget, decent for trail use. Composite skis (Curve, Powderkeg) flex less and steer more precisely. Aluminum skis are race-focused. Mountain skiers often prefer wider plastic skis for flotation.

Wider carbides or longer carbides — which is better?

Length affects high-speed stability; width affects bite. Most riders run 4-6 inch carbides for trails. Aggressive trail riders go to 8 inch for ice; mountain riders run shorter for easier maneuvering.

How do I install carbides on my snowmobile skis?

Most ski mount systems use 2–3 bolts through the ski into the carbide. Apply anti-seize, torque to spec (usually 20–30 ft-lbs). Replace ski-mount bolts if they show rust or stripped threads.
