alrighty.....im fed up with my steel skis.....they're nice, but i gotta get some plastic ones.....anyone have some suggestions?? I haven't really looked around all that yet (dont have the money right now)....but i dont want to spend an arm and a leg, but i do wanna find some decent ones. I need them for a 1997 Polaris Indy 500 Trail

Well, honestly, if you could go w/ the Ski-Doo precision skis...those things are GREAT. If you think you could somehow get a new ski block or reshape it or somethin to get them to fit. I don't really know the prices on them though, so I can't really help ya there. Other than that all I can think of are C&A's, USI's, or just Polaris plastics skis. I'm sure anything would be better than steel.

I agree, there is a WORLD of difference between any steel ski compared with plastic skis. They not only handle better and are lighter, buy they are much less noisy. You don't hear half the rocks you used to hear when you hit em

I would definately recommend you change to plastic, they are really nice. The Polaris stock ski's are probably just fine. Other brands are very expensive, and really I think the stock plastic skis seem to be just fine.

Plastic Skis......do you mean plastic covers or skis made completely of plastic? Boy, I would break them in a day.

well, they aren't actually plastic.....they are composite....i think its practicallly imposible to break them.......

anyways...thanks guys!!! i'll go talk with my local dealer once i get the cash

i would a gree with cobra, stock plastic/compostie skis from your dealer are tha best. i am sure that if you got skis that were made for a 97-2003 anything, they would fit. The main design of a polaris spindle is the same. ( spindle is the thing the skis attach to. Price should be about $2-300. but i would be surprised if they were more than say $250. If you want to wait i can sell you my skis off my RMK, i am upgrading before my trip to the mountains.
