we use the tunnel mounted scratchers.

Hey X,

If you have not bought scratchers yet, Alpine has some kick azz scratchers that mount on the front & bottom of your boards.

yeah i have a set in my shop, no bigger, but im leaving pretty quick to go to revy, they wouldnt get here in time, got any pix of the tunnel mounted ones, im sure i can mod the ones i got to mount like that for the time being.

There are not any other holes in the rails that you can mount them into?

If you remove one idler on the Cats you can use the same bolt hole for the scratchers - bolt size is identical.

The tunnel mounted ones will require you to drill the tunnel, and I don't know if you can change the rail mounted ones that much, you'd have to pull them pretty hard to get them up there.

I would just put a small 3/8" bolt in each ski for the hardpack and then take it out once you get up top in the soft stuff.
