What skis should I put on my new sled?

I just bought an '06 RMK 700, and it needs a new set of skis. Some of you many have already talked to my boyfriend about this, but I'm a tiny girl, and need the sled to be as light and easy to through around as possible. I've heard Simmons are good, but they are a bit prices and I had heard heavier. Any ideas what I should get?

Re: What skis should I put on my new sled?

Ya I have been reading the Powder Hounds might be the way to go. I just hadn't heard of them before, but for me the lighter I can get the better, at 110lbs its hard to throw a sled around as it is, so I can use all the help I can get

Re: What skis should I put on my new sled?

I've never tried the powder hounds but i have heard that they are a little more forgiving than the simmions. Saying that, I love my simmions.
