I love my new ON3p's.
Best skis I've ever owned, bar none. They've held up superbly even though I used them heavily in the park for a season.
Also, they're an extremely technical ski, the only downside is they're way too common.


But the bottom line is this ski can slay everything, it's my everyday ski.

"This ski can slay everything, it's my everyday ski"

- I'm a park rat who has never been on real snow

or - I have these and want NS to think they are sick, so ill tell everyone they slay everywhere when they have a specific purpose but i ride them everywhere and never have used any other purpose built skis.

"Naw you want way longer skis than that. Nobody rides skis that short at your height."

-I bought extremely short skis but it helps me push that memory away by telling others to buy big skis.
