Contact Deano670 on here he is a Mod ski dealer. And he is out of Leduc. I think tracks Canada sells them to but Curtis will be farming right now.

Have yet to sell a set the customer was unhappy with. Yes MAD MOTORSPORTS is the canadian dealer for MODS SKI'S.

Are they that good
I've owned a LOT of different skis over the years, including Simmons, SLP, C&A, Slydogs, USI, etc. Hands down the MODS ski is the best powder ski I've ridden. For those who are not aware, they were originally designed and made in Sicamous, BC by Mike (Old Forge Manufacturing). The design hasn't changed since at least 1997 (my first pair), and it doesn't need to. It's like adding power steering to your sled, and handling / floatation is unmatched in powder snow on the sleds I've run them on: Ski-Doo S-chassis, ZX chassis, REV chassis, & Cat's M-series.
They do dart a bit on the trail, and the aluminum bridge will break if you hit something hard enough. If you run in low snow conditions the ski soles won't last as long as an all plastic ski. BUT, the soles are replaceable (at less cost then an all plastic ski sole), the carbides are inexpensive, and the ski just WORKS - plain and simple. Money well spent for a mountain sled IMHO.

How wide are MODS? They've always interested me, might have to order a set to try this year vs the Gen III's on the machine now.

They are 7" wide and with the dollar being strong these days, at this moment they would be $423.32 cad plus taxes and shipping. For anyone interested i will be placing an order this week.
