Thinking about snagging a pair of them next season. Anyone got some thoughts on them? (Any ski they make works)

Also I was wondering if they're heavy as fuck which I've heard they are.

I'd describe them as burly as fuck. If your fan of light soft skis you might not like them.
If you want a durable stiff ski go On3p. Also they are on sale on their website.

ON3P makes some burly skis for sure. I've had the Jeronimos, Presters, and am currently on the Kartel 98's. Jeronimos and Kartels have slayed better than anything else I've ridden in that size (101, 98 underfoot, respectively, both in 186) however I cracked my Presters within ten days a couple inches in front of the binding toe piece.. They're known for making super durable skis that don't break and when I contacted them about warranty they seemed in disbelief, and I haven't heard back from them since then, even after bugging them with another when they didn't respond. Still waiting for a return authorization number so I can mail them back, its been three months. Regardless of this unfortunate customer service incident, they are totally bombproof skis and even though I'm a little choked they won't get back to me, I will continue to buy their skis. I ride 80-100 days a year, jib lots, and usually go through 1 - 3 pairs a year but these Kartels have lasted me all year so far nearing day 80. Highly recommended skis.

Correction* 2 - 3 pairs a year. Also, they're heavier but not heavy as fuck.

I ride magnus' my self and have taken a few runs on my brothers k98s they are both insane skis, my magnus seem to ride stiffer than the k98s, they are both super fun skis however the k98s seem more playful, I haven't taken the k98s in the park but my Magnus kill rails, never get caught while swapping and are ultra poppy and the swing weight is no more then any other ski I've ridden recently ( Armada b dogs, thalls) again the only complaint I have is their stiffness however they aren't advertised as being soft so it's really not a complaint but if they were a little softer they would be way more fun imo

Can I ask what sizes you were riding between the Magnus and the K98?

Deepening on size the flex IS different at times on purpose. We do this as generally shorter, smaller riders need a softer ski (and vice versa for heavier, taller skiers).

If they are both 176cm for example then this makes sense.

Thanks for confirming. Those both should have a very similar layup at that length, and the K98 should in fact be slightly stiffer.

The only thing I can think of is that the Magnus may feel stiffer underfoot due to the mounting position being more in the "meat" of the stiffness vs the Kartel being slightly farther back. The Kartel absolutely has a stiffer tail and shovel.

They're not the lightest skis on the market, but they're not the heaviest either. That being said, I've never noticed the weight to hinder the ski at all. It makes them chargier, which is how I like to ski, so even in the park skis I find that nice.

My Jeffrey's and my wrenegades are kinda heavy, but I kinda like that because they charge harder and the only time I notice it is when they are on my shoulder.
I demoed a pair of magnus' last season and they felt a lot lighter but were more damp and stable than I was expecting

I'm like 6'4" and 210lbs and demoed the Magnus 186, and the flex is sooooooo damn sick. Would really love to get a pair of the 98's with that flex. Has anyone broken a pair in and gotten them to that point?
Considering doing the custom order with less carbon and 19oz fiberglass layup to make the 98's softer, but I'd have to start saving now. Anyone think its worth it?

I love my Jeronimos (96mm underfoot, 181cm long). They are stable and predictable at high speed, but a little tougher to deal with going slower, in my experience. Going slow through tight trees with a few inches of snow is a bit of a chore. I also don't really like them in the park (a tad too stiff for me unless I am going mach 2 hitting big jumps). I prefer a "snappier" mildly softer ski (like the Punx) for my park skiing pleasure. All that being said, they carve trenches on groomers and absolutely terrorize crud and rough snow. That is where they really shine. I have been unable to find a speed limit for them, and they allow me to power through gnarly terrain. They make me excited to ski the day AFTER a storm when everything is tracked out and bumpy.

I used to have jmo's and Billy goats, both awesome skis . They were here both slightly heavier but you never notice skiing them. Only ON3P's I have now are Vicik's, and they are by far the lightest ski I have. Long story short, if you're considering getting a pair don't let weight discourage you.

I had a pair of filthy rich's last season and they were so much fun. Probably my favorite pair of skis I have owned, just to poppy. Also I really don't think on3ps are heavy at all. I actually felt like my filthy's were pretty light.

Looking for a cambered park ski that is food for going fast af and width between 85 and 98, preferably stiff. Any ON3P recommendations?

I meant so much pop. And it's definitely not a bad thing it was my favorite part of the skis! Felt like I could Ollie over anything.

Presters are technically discontinued, but they're one of my favorite park skis (full camber, stiff as a board and fast as fuck). You can either try and find a pair that someone or some shop is selling, or if you ask nicely I'm almost positive that the molds for them still exist. Seriously, such an awesome ski.

I've been using k116 191s daily for work for about 2 months now - the flex is indeed fucking mint. The tip and tail don't have a fold point, the flex progresses outwards from the centre super evenly which gives them a really smooth damp feel, especially when you're taking them through crud/variable. The snow at whistler has been super heavy warm powder for 2-3 weeks now and these skis actually make it fun.
I wouldn't call them 'heavy' even though they are - on3ps are just 'damp'.

Would they compare to the dampness of some of K2 skis?
