I have had this problem for awhile now.
after 80km on a trail \ road with a little freash snow my back end fish tails causing me not to speed up. hard pack trails and well beaten lakes i have no problem keeping the hammer down. but when the *** end wags the streeing wanders and i start to loose control.....HELP!!!!

Try loosening the limiter straps.

How's ski pressure?
the straps are really loose ..... my first thought was they were too tight but very loose...
sitting with no wight on the sled they are loose.
ski pressure ?????? might be a liitle too much but don't really know....

Is the rear axle sitting off the ground when it's on a flat surface?

are you sure your not darting ? front limiter straps loose? how about front shock and spring presure?
Check your wear bars also, then setup the rear suspension, If the straps are that loose you probably need to tighten them a little, How much thread is showing on the bolt?? Check your W Arm, if its cracked anywhere, the rear wil be all over the place. And do a ski alignment.. most of this info can be found on the tech pages..
thanks for the info guys. I think i will tighten the limiter straps till they are snug when no weight on the sled and then maybe try the belt thing under the rear of the ski plate to see if anything goes away.
I thought it was my front darting but last weekend the guys i was riding with said it was my rear end.
but still confused on the subject,,,,why does it work fine on a lake or hard pack trail then once i get a logging road with some snow 3-4 inches it wanders all over the place,,,,I can go from leader of the pack 160km to the slow boy 80km in seconds.

H20... it problably does it on the 3-4inches of powder if you have really aggressive carbides on..... or deep keel skis......I have studboy shaper 6" carbides and the shape of the wear bar funnels snow making deep snow darting a problem.....

Just a question: Are the ski carbides matched to your # of studs? I replaced the track on my Sxr with an IceClaw last year and didn't change my carbides or put back in studs. Now my ***end is all over at times and I feel like a dirt track racer. Never had that with the original track and 96 studs down the middle.....I'm getting kind of used to the dirt track thing now though....kinda fun, but it should have studs....

My phazer did this also. We did two things at once so I'm not sure which fixed it but it is gone nontheless. We added wedges to the front ski's to change the bias from front to rear...see the tech section of this site for an article on darting and how to fix it. The other thing we did was to stud the track.
