I've heard from a couple of people that ON3P skis actually measure out to be about 3-4cm longer then what they say they are because ON3P measure skis by their final length, where most companies measure skis by their flat material. Anyone know anything about this? It would be awesome if someone did

This is true. Their 191 caylor is actually around a 194 by other company standards

Hmmm so would this mean the 181 Caylor is more like 184? Trying to decide which one to go for

If you stand a pair of 181 Caylors up against a wall, the tips will be 181cm from the floor. In other words, its a measurement straight across, tip to tip. Whats your height and weight?

Other companies come up "short". ON3P measure true.

ON3P's don't measure long, they measure true to length. For some reason most companies measure their skis before they bend the tip & tails- so they lose a few cm.

As all companies should! It's often difficult to get a sense of how long a ski is when companies measure their flat material because tip curvature can drastically change how long a ski is and the progression of ski-on-the-snow to ski-off-the-snow. Contact progression is huge in determining how a ski will perform.

I'm 6 feet and 170. Think I should go with 181s or 191s?

191, the 181 would probably work but the 191 will give you better stability and control. If spinning and jibbing is important, something like a 186 Jeffrey might be a better overall option, but then again, I have seen a cork 7 off a booter on Pillowfights.

Like everyone said. ON3P is one of the few companies who measure their ski's true to length.

Don't fear the 191 Caylor it is a real easy and intuative ski. That will go like a bat out of hell if you need it to.

Yeah I'm leaning towards the 191 they should still be able to jib off everything and slay steep lines too. Hopefully I'll still be able to carve hard in the trees
