CatdickBojanglesIt literally says custom on it. They have a ton more options then what’s actually listed on the ski builder. Just have to call them up.
It's a custom top someone asked us to build - and once we posted it on stories more people asked for it so we made like 10 pairs with it. It's just a small 2021 run.
WoFlowzWhat in the middle aged mom that lives in Buffalo NY are these skis
Tahoe. Also now realizing the middle aged applies to me too.
EPfanboyWhat’s happening with the beer crusher/can crusher topsheets? I saw a pic on ig a few days ago
Those are the Meeks models, as in Forster Meeks. He has been riding for on3p for a long time and is getting a modelo themed model that appears to be edgeless underfoot.

what kind of stuff is not on the ski builder?
I emailed them about putting
these on a pair of jeff 108s but they said they lost the file for it :(
iggy has stated that the lack of the Jessie and Mera lines for 2021 is because of Covid.
The temporary shutdown caused by covid meant that 100s of skis that were going to be produced last spring were not produced. This has since caused ON3P to not be able to keep their most popular skis - or SKUs as they would perhaps refer to them - in stock. As such, dedicating production to a series with very limited demand instead of restocking their most popular skis makes limited sense.
Launching the 2021 womans lines would also "necessitate" an updated graphic for 2022 = extra work (if they do not just carry over), instead of "re-launching" the Mera and Jessie lines for 2022 with this year's graphics while always offering them through the custom option for this year. The latter option meant that you could get stock skis with your choice of graphics (from the ones they offer) for a measly 50usd premium ( a sweet offer), where you can also upgrade the layup, graphics, bases, sidewalls and so on if you so choose.
So the decision to not launch the 21 women's line while still offering them as customs makes a lot of sense from a business perspective imho. Can't wait to see the 2022 line when it drops in 3-4 months :)
Fr man they all act like it’s a fashion statement like Karen I don’t care but you just parked your yukon in the 5 minute parking can I just get to the training center to use my locker.

:( if i ever bought custom on3ps this woulda been the topsheet i went with
AK3030Do you have to pay the full custom ski price if all you want to change is the top sheet?
yes, but what the full custom price is depends on when you order the skis.
The base price for customs is 899, so a premium of 100-200usd depending on what model you choose - 200 for mags, 100 for C&Ds for instance (if the top sheet is the only thing you want to change as it is the only change that is included in the custom base price). However, during summer and fall ON3P usually has a 100usd discount on their custom program, meaning the premium is ranging from 0 to 100 usd, depending on model.
So, if you are willing to wait getting the stock graphic of your choice (of the ones they offer) on the model of your choice at either no or at a low premium is very much an option.
You can also choose to get the top sheets with an upcharge (wood veneer, eagle/wolf, mix'n'match) cheaper (if still at an added cost compared to the stock ones), or do any of the changes - different layup, modified flex pattern, different base, different sidewalls - ON3P offer at a discount compared to the in-season price. My advice though, stick with ON3Ps standard offerings wrt to layup and flex unless you are very certain why you want a specific change (for instance that you are very light or very heavy) - they are standard for a reason = dialed.
Besides, if you wait you can also choose from the 2022 graphics and get any updates to the ski in question.
The summer/fall deal is one of the better deals in the industry imho where you can get one off skis, perhaps only bested by Praxis Skis' crazy off season custom sales prices (where there are just sooooo many options to choose from). Yeah, ON3Ps cost a bit - especially if you go down the custom route, but they are def worth it and will last you a long, long time as long as you do a bare minimum of maintenance.
yeah, there are usually some info trickling out in Feb/March/April with the entire line being released and available for purchase late April/begin of May - though I would not be surprised if Covid makes for an even later than usual release this year.
I have the feeling that Scott&crew are working like crazy to keep this year's models in stock as is - he has been less active on forums as of late than usual at least, so perhaps less time available to make lots of tweaks or graphic changes for the coming season.
I would not expect any major changes for 2021 though. Most of their designs were updated/tweaked for 2020, so I would be surprised if Scott did anything major (though there are usually a few, minor tweaks each year). He usually work on a 2 year product cycle too.
My bet is that the graphics will get an update across the range, the light weight / female specific ranges will be re-released, the touring range might be broadened a bit (include more models), and who knows - perhaps the wide, soft smeary pow ski they have been prototyping for a few years will fianlly be launched, as will the edgeless Meeks version of (probably) a Magnus ski.
Should be sweet regardless - their lineup is pretty damn good as is imho.
