Have been skiing bent chetlers this winter, they are so light that it's unbelievable, super easy to swerve and carve and slash all over the place thanks to low weight and soft tips.

on the other hand their mid section is stable as piece steel, so you can also charge as fast as you can.

overall mad fun ski, would recommend

ON3P’s are gonna be heavy... probably around or higher than those Gypsy’s. With that being said it’s because they’re made well with great durability.

those Bent Chetlers are going to be lighter but you’re also going to get bucked around more on crud than you would with the Gypsy’s. If you have an opportunity to rent/try them all out, that would be your best bet but otherwise you’ll have to figure out where you want them to perform better (pure powder or crud)

If you go on3p, I would go Jeffrey over billy goat. Jeffrey seems to fit your riding style better from what you described

This.

AvramndsHelp! I’m riding a pair of Icelandic gypsies right now, and although they’re really fun plowing through powder and crud, and hold up well when I’m scraping down a sheet of ice, they’re just too heavy!

I’ve gained a lot of confidence this year, and I want to try throwing some tricks off of the natural hits I find, and buttering the groomers when I’m riding more in bounds.

The gypsies are just too heavy and too stiff (probably too wide, too) for me to feel like I can really throw them around.

Im 5-11, 180lbs

I want something playful and light that can still hold up on a deep day in the pnw chowder/crud.

the new bent chetlers kinda seem like the perfect ski to me, but I was hoping to get some input from people who have actually ridden some or all of these skis, or who might have some new recommendations.

thanks!

I have had Bentchetlers in the past a dumped specifically because they did not hold up in PNW crud. You want Jeffery's.

Bro I’ve been ripping some K2 catamarans this winter and they have been some of the funnest skis since my hellbents... ON3P seems to be killing it these days though they can be pretty expensive but they are indestructible.. I’ve heard good things about the benchettlers but I’ve had a few buddies already break them... my advice: find your favorite skier who you want to “mimic” and see what type ski they ride
