Op3n Kartel 96

I have the magnus 90 and it is incredible durable

Very versatile ski. Bombproof, great park/light snow all-mountain ski. Rocker will make it have a loser feel than most all-mountain skis

And what about the swing weight on the Kartels ?

They are fairly light, I honestly don’t feel a difference comming from the line chronics. And if you look at the specs they are actually really light

Weights on On3p’s website are pretty much correct

Been riding K96 in Whistler for the majority of this season. Super fun ski, versatile. Had runs down the peak during storms, and sunny slush days and its performed really well. I'm coming off riding bentchetlers center mounted for the past 5 years so I'm a little bias to wider skis and will be getting something a little wider for the days of 20cms+ but have only taken out the old skis a couple times this season.

Having fun on the new smaller 96s. They like to charge, i get a tossed around a lot if i try to relax on the bumpier sections of the mountain but they feel great when you're engaged with them. Little heavier than i'm used to but throwing them around is easy. I'm also riding 181s which are 6cms taller than I am. Hits rails like a charm, and jumps are fantastic. Just don't be a lazy skiier like i am half the time and they wont try to buck you around haha.

Hardback was a breeze. Mounted them at rec, which is about 4.5cm back from center I believe? Skis hold and edge if you wanna charge, but keep it pretty loose for the big long slides / hand drags I love doing. Stiff though, so it takes some muscle to butter / manual and play around on the hard pack as much.

Thanks that rlly helped

I guess one more tidbit, we don't get a ton of ice / hard hard pack out west so I haven't explored them too much, and some days I do wish I had a little bit more of a looser ski to ride more relaxed on, but I'm taking them as a challenge to be a better skiier, but I'll be keeping them for sure for a few more seasons at least.

Been riding the 98’s for the last 2 seasons, I really like them. I don’t notice the swing weight any and they seem to handle what ever you throw at them. I live here in the PNW and I like to support local businesses. I did a tour of their facility last year and everyone there is super cool and very knowledgeable. I definitely recommend The Kartels.
