I am looking for a set of new skis, mostly because my stock skis do not float in soft snow. I would love to find a pair of skis that work good in the turns of hardpack, but also stay afloat in the softer snow. Is there such a thing? I wouldn't mind going with a powder ski but with 153 studs and fairly agressive cornering would be afraid they won't bite. Let me know what you think and what ski models would suit that riding style. I run 9in shaper bars.

trying to pick out aftermarket skis
I run p/pros with 9" shapers and they bit in the corners good - but I havent rode a sled w/razors..
I've only ridden stock and with razors. Razors are a huge improvement if you set your sled up properly. They are awesome on hard pack trails... and no complaints in the powder.
I've got CurveXS w/ shapers, they're a bit wider but handle great + float good. --Snotty

yeah i am kind of torn between powder pros and some sort of c&a ski. C&A makes so many and i don't know which one would be a good trail pack + softer snow ski
I just put C&A razors (7.5" shaper bars) on my early build F6 (1 3/8" track & 153 studs).
No complaints from me!

powder pros with 7.5" or 9" shapers would be a good set up, the powder pros are really good in the loose snow and the shapers will bite really good and help you on the trails
I had a set of SLP -SLT's on my Firecat and they were great. They had zero darting Zip,nada, none -straight as an arrow. The SLPs' are called power steering on snow - they are that smooth and easy to turn.
A lot of folks out there love the C and A Razors for the ultimate in precision but they do come at a price of harder steering effort and excessive darting.
Sounds like you could use a set of SLP powder pros .fFom what I have read they provide great flotation and still retain all the qualities of the SLT's
Hope this helps.

put pps on my 03 f7 i ordered them with shapers ,big mistake! the shaper bars do not fit the curve of the ski like the slp carbide leaving big gaps between the ski and the bar, you could wrench the gaps out of them but you far excede the factory torque specs and the ski becomes a straight ski and that kills the handling and design of the ski and will handle very heavy like a c and a with the slp carbide this thing is a very wonderful turning machine in hardpack and a dream in the powder i ordered mine from go big parts for 305 with everything, ski, loop,mount, carbide you will love them
Send an Email to Dan @ the out door shop. Tell him how, and where you ride and the general conditions and he'll be able to set you up.
with the shaper bars I found if you grind the head of the bolt even with the bar it doesnt bend the ski . the weld is oveer hanging off the bar..
