question...1997 xlt touring.sled has all original parts..I purchased this summer.. On both skis, the rear of the ski is curved upwards.I have never seen this before, and not sure if its supposed to be like that. they are both curved upwards in the rear of the ski..Im not sure if someone hit something, but its odd that both skis are exactly the same..exact same curve and everything, would be hard to get it perfectly even by backing up into something.... Is this how these skis came? if not, whats a easy fix? thanks

That would be for reverse. They prob. used the same ski on all those sleds.

That's not right, you should be able to bend them back down or get a set of plastic skis.

It's a ski skin. A good addition for steel skis. Slides better on the snow. For the price of replacing the steel ones, if you decide to go that way, you could probably get a nice set of used Polaris plastics. Then you don't have to worry about the rust too. From your original post, I thought they were only curved up a little, that's why I said for reverse. Good you posted pics.

Hard to say what happened, or what somebody was thinking! Looks like the skins were added after the alteration of the skis. Like XLT96rider said...good thing you posted pics.
