They look really flexible will they stand up to the abuse?
Monday, October 4, 2010 at 6:14PM Yes, we have been extensively testing the skis for over 3 years now with no issues relating to bending/breaking of the ski. Split Rails are designed to be flexible allowing the ski to conform to the contour of the snow. They are made out of UHMW, which is the same material used by the majority of stock plastic skis on the market.

Looks like an effective trail ski...what about deep snow performance? I can't see there being enough ski surface area to achieve floatation.
Split Rail's have nearly the same surface area as the Ski-Doo Pilot 5.7 stock skis. The rails are simply separated. Split Rails are also designed so that as the snow passes through the centre it is slightly compressed, therefore pushing the ski upwards. Since they have the same surface area as a stock ski and have added compression Split Rail's experience comparable flotation in loose and powdery snow conditions.
