I am looking at a used snow pro enclosed trailer, the type with the V nose and ramp!
It doesn't have glides for the skis?
What kind of glides should I get and where? I think they would have to curve at the V nose door so you can drive out?
Thanks for the help!

Denis Kurk has everything you need and then some. The last time I looked through their catolog, most things were not priced to bad. They also have a internet site.

Thanks for the reply!
I see the glides at Dennis Kirk, what should I do about the turn for the V nose door?
Thanks Bob

Bob, Go with the lowest profile guide. It's much easier the move the sled left and right if needed. As far as the bend, Powermadd makes a curved guide.

I saw the low profile version, will the carbide bite in on these?
Also, are there any low cost options? Maybe cut up an old pick up bed liner?

My first 2 place trailer, I used an old bed liner. They worked well and held up. My advise though if you do use them is to put alot of stainless steel screws in them other wise they will bow on you. It's really worth it just to spend the money and buy the tougher stuff once and be done with it. You don't have to worry about it ever again. That's what I did with my 4 place trailer. I don't regreat it one bit. The couple hundred dollars is worth it, trust me. Only my opinion though.

We've used the cut up bed liner for the ramp doors in our trailer and they seem to work great. I've never tried the "real" stuff so I have nothing to compare it to.

Get your glides at one of the snow shows. I got my glides for a 26' four place trailer for a lot less than dealer price, and every run is 1 piece, no 10' or 12' crap. I did not opt for the curved one at the front, I just angled a set to the door (low profile 8") and did not have a problem with USI, Simmons, or Ski-Doo precision skis. The 45k btu heater is almost in the way, but that is my fault.
I have this kit on my trailer. It makes loading an un-loading so much easier.

Bob, The low profile actually work much better than the larger ones. As stated above, it's easier to pick up the sled and move it left and right. In addition, the lower profile slides support the carbide only and as a result it is much easier to move your sled forward and backwards. For the enclosed trailer with a small front door, you can adjust the sled back and forth for the correct distance required for the tie down bar. If you have a tilt trailer, the sled slides off with very little effort. I've had both and would never buy the larger profile again. The cost difference is mininal between the two. Save yourself some grief and a strained back, buy the low profile.
