hey my 570 is built ..twin psi . extended 134" camoplast 2" paddles, and it just will dive in to the snow like a submarine... and i really dont like that. what shoud i do?? what adjustments to the skids help? thanks.. im riding in roughly 2-3ft snow
 
i have camoplast all terain skis on my sled and the front is always on top of the snow. there cheep too.
 
Any plastic ski will be a huge improvement. The stock steel skis are a bad design because of their convex profile. Great for trails but junk for powder. Most plastic skis are concave on both sides of the keel or flat with a smaller keel on each outside edge. This design helps pull snow under the ski and pack it into a harder base which increases flotation. Buy the widest plastic ski you can find or afford.
 
I had a 91 Exciter that was the oposite it worked good in the deep stuff. How is your rear suspension setup? It is common to put a 4" to 6" lift in these sleds.
