Kartel 96s for sure. Even though they got discontinued they're the best ski I have bought at this point in my life. They have basically been a quiver killer especially on the east coast. Durable as all hell, great in the park. They don't chatter and hold turns like a carving ski on groomers. Worked well up to roughly 7-10 inches in powder as well.

As I only own a pair of billy goats( picked them up as a sidewall blowout). An unreal ski. Definitely you have to ski them an not be lazy. You're not gonna just sit back seat and cruise them. You can tell these skis want to rip. It gonna lie. I had to ski them very aggressively. Definitely a ski you want to stivot and smear. It's definitely fun to go edge to edge and carve them. It's a hoot. But my God what feel. They are alive. They want to go fast. And for mashed potatoes and chopped up snow. It's like being on a groomer. Unreal. It is my first ON3P ski and it will not be my last. Those boys got a damn good thing going. And I'm loving my all camo look (which was just by per chance)

Overall favorite On3p HAS to be the caylor. Sadly it’s Discontinued. Jeffrey 108 has its place and is fun. billy goat has its place and is my go to for anything soft when not jibbing. But the caylor just does it all.


BRING BACK THE CAYLOR, SCOTT!!

Woodsmans. I like to overcompesate with a 116 ski to rip on every day. Have had boatloads of fun and zero issues. You can really open it up on any terrain, its wild.

Jeffery 96s. I got them at the beginning of this season and have hardly touched any of my other skis. They charge so hard. All I want to do on them is go as fast as I can and launch off anything. Never had a ski that made me feel so comfortable in any condition.

Picked up a pair of Magnus 102s off here the other week and have put a few hours on them but they are fun, definitely different and take some getting used to. I’m sure I’ll eventually figure them out and love them. But nothing can beat the Jefferys.

Only ever rode the wrenegade 96. It fucks. Bitches. Up.... In every way. Best ski I've ever rode.

Didn't touch my arv 106 all year long, even when the snow was deeper. Digging the wrens so much bought kartel 108's from bst and sold my arvs.

Yeah I'm sold on the brand. The hype is real.

The kartels turned into the Jefferys, They just changed the name since Karl Fostvedt left ON3P for K2. The Kartels were also originally known as the Jefferys too. Not trying to argue, and I agree with them being super sick skis.

Jeffreys with a mount slightly closer to center. 108 if you are out west and ride off piste and want to use them for drops but also in park, skinnier 98 version if you want to use them more in the park. You will not regret

would anyone be able to provide a comparison between the Jeffrey's and the wrenegades? also, any chance of riding/demoing these bad boys if you're stuck on the east coast?

Filthy Riches. I've only ridden magnuses and filthy riches but they give me the perfect stiffness for jumps and are still fun to jib. durable as hell too.

Demo? Not likely.

Wrenegades if you want to go fast and be stable over mangled terrain, Jeffrey if you like to jib

No prob, definitely don’t want to discount the stability of the Jeffrey though. Can surely charge on those too but just takes a bit more front-back balance. Wrenegades just have a charging ability where you don’t need to stay ontop of the balancing act like the Jeffrey requires.
