Steel edge or not to steel edge? And other pulk sled snow stuff

Grace you already have the best ski for what you are doing.

There is not much elevation change along the Iditarod route, it's grade has been selected for dog teams pulling sleds. Rainy pass is a low pass by Alaskan range standards- the elevation gain on its route is only 447 meters, and its altitude is modest.

I would never go skiing with a dog with metal edged skis, the ones who do and cut their dogs were certainly trying to avoid that outcome- with vigilance, etc., but stuff happens when you least expect it. Also take care around dogless skiers who do have metal edges.

You have another option. Fischer just released the Trace 98, a dog-friendly edgeless ski, takes the easyskin too. It's a fatty at:
98 - 69 – 88 mm
