Downhill vs Cross Country Skis for Smitty Sled?

[DANMAN]

Which do you use?   Results?  Why?

Thanks.

Downhill without question. Cross Country are built to glide on packed snow. Downhill are built to “float” a large person on soft snow. So you need down hill on a Smitty to more easily pull weight in snow.  Get “All mountain” parabolic if you can find them.

I have 1 with down hill and 2 with cross country and prefer the cross country..  It’s a matter of opinion I guess..
  I also still have one with water skies that I built 30 years ago for my big old clam tub two person shanty ...   Pulls like a beast...
 Less surface area the less friction..
My cross country’s have fish scale bottoms so it’s hard for it to slide backwards on any incline..  just my opinion.....
