52 SNOWEST SEPTEMBER 2014 FRONTS AND FORECASTS continued from page 12 In the process of developing and refining the new 2015 Summit X with T3 package, BRP engineers experi- mented with ski shape and its role in handling in different conditions. As a result, the Pilot DS 3 ski that is standard with these sleds will have a removable wider ski tip for tuning the handling in different snow conditions. It slides onto the tip and is held in place with two bolts. Designed to work in tandem with the deeper and longer tracks, the Pilot DS 3 skis are a variation of the well-received Pilot DS 2 but with a 12mm deeper keel. Up front, a narrower shape reduces tip-up and there's redesigned top side bracing. Riders will find it holds a sidehill better and offers great control. The key to the adjustable nose is to reduce the tip-up that can slow down the vehicle. In snow conditions less than 16 inches of fresh powder, and especially when there's a crust, the narrow tip will stay in the snow and not want to "pop up," which helps to maintain a carve.
