I mostly ride on my frozen lake in VT osally after the first snowfall it's like riding on an open field. This year my Bro was making a turn and slid and flipped the sled breaking the shield.

QUESTION: Would studs make turning better for turns or would I still slide on the ice under the snow? Or are the studs mostly for acceleration.

Studs will help with traction (accel & braking) for the rear; you need to install carbide runners on the front skis to help with steering. If you use lots of studs, you will need longer carbides to keep the handling balance.

i noticed a lot of push from my studs on a slick lake.i think they may have hurt me with sharp turns, but help with acceleration/stopping. he's right, you have to balance out studs and carbide.

When my Brother flipped the sled, the track started to slided out during a turn (spin-out/fish tail) and he hit a little ripple/snow bump that caught the sled which mad him turn the sled over.

If there were studs, do you think he wound have fish tailed?

Snow Freak

He might of still fish tailed but not as much i dont think.
