ON3Ps worth it?

Hey so I had the Kartel 108 which is now the Jeffrey series. They were excellent skis and built to take just about any abuse but I thought they were quite heavy tbh. I actually added the Revolt 104 to my collection this season and so far I really like them quite a bit. They are super light and easy to control but I cant say they are built as well. You could try Moment which I hear is kind of like ON3P. You could try Atomic Bents or Faction Prodigies. Hope that helps!

If you want to stick with K2, the poachers seem to hold up a lot better than reckoners and are the same price or cheaper dependign where you look. No matter what skis you get, they are going to blow up with heavy rail use. Reckoners seem to be especially bad for sidewalls and edges blowing out though.

You get what you pay for! If you're tired of going through multiple pairs of skis a winter, than pay some extra dollars for a ski like @ON3P. You're not going to find a pair of $350 skis that can take a beating, the price is low because the material is crap. Work a couple extra hours this summer and treat yourself to a pair of skis from a brand that is conscious about material choice and built with durability in mind.

Classy post

So last season I got all new gear Planks to helmet and everything in between I spent from may until late September researching ski gear and after narrowing down from a lot of skis ...On3p Moment Nordica Faction and the wildcard being Dynastar were the finalists I ended up with the moments full disclosure but it came down to Moment and On3p and IMO yes they are worth the money I did get to ride a friends brand new jeffery 102 and it was a great very playful ski you can use in the park very well (im not a big park guy (I take a lap or 2 a day through there though I dont do anything to crazy )but its more a ski you can make the whole hill your park it can lay down a turn really good its surprisingly composed in mid day crud and is decent in pow .. plus my buddy said they are bombproof and he skis mostly park ... the problem I found IMO while researching is K2 Line and volkls freestyle skis are made in china and the build quality has suffered that was a big reason I was leaning towards On3p and Moment they are built by hand and there warranties are great ... so bottom line yea they are worth it for the human factor alone ...If youre going to buy skis get them from the US/Canada or Europe

SchoessI've been riding ON3P exclusively since about 2017 if I remember right. I've skied Jeff's, kartels, magnus's and mangos in various flavors over the years. None have ever been a disappointment, and they are absolutely worth the money over other skis. If you plan to mount -2 to center and ski mostly park, get the mango 100. If you plan to mount -2 to -4 and ski more all mountain, get the Jeff's. The both ski great no matter what, but I do prefer my mangos over my Jeff's for switch skiing and center mounted park shenanigans

How different are the Jeff’s and mangos in terms of swing weight and stability in choppy snow?

rn I have 189 wets for park and woodsman 96 for all mtn, I’m looking to eventually combine the two into one ski. I want something with low swing weight for park and a decent amount of taper for skiing in weird east coast “pow,” which makes me lean towards mangos but I’m worried that they wouldn’t have the same level of stability as the Jeffries and woodsmans

when on3p transitioned from the magnus to the mango two main points of emphasis was lower swing weight and more playful, @iggyskier discusses this on the blister pod.

I ski east coast and started with a kartel 96 skiing a lot of park and have transitioned to riding a 2021 woodsman 102 more often riding less park. Personally I have never found the kartel to have an awkward swing weight, it is such an awesome ski for splitting park and all mountain. You won’t have a problem with stability on any of on3ps skis it just comes down to stance and drivability. Kartel/Jeff definitely likes a more centered stance where the woodsman is fine centered but likes when you get on the tips, as you probably know. Do they both blast crud? Yes. Do you have to ski them a little differently? Yes. I’d guess this would be a similar experience with mango vs jeff.


My vote would be for jeff 102s. If you’re really worried about pure park just get mangos and keep the woodsmans around for the snow!

Anytime you make 1 skis do 2 skis job you will have compromises. Jeff is the for it all, mango does most but is park focused. It's pretty simple but choose whatever you will be doing the majority of
