I'll try to give people a bit more heads up next time. Most of it was just gathering skis that are collecting around the factory as we finish up this remodel, I was a bit surprised how many there...

Sold:
#2, #3, #5, #11

Currently interest or pending:

Skis are all OBO so feel free to send any reasonable...

Hammerheads are done with inserts.
~30 days....

Just finishing up a factory remodel and looking to clear out a bunch of skis we have just sitting around.

Paypal, Chase Quickpay, Cash all fine. Check as well, though we will not ship until it...

I would suggest the 176cm. 186cm is going to be pretty big on you.

No need for a lynch mob. We have new people with new responsibilities right now, in the midst of a completely factory and office remodel, and have been travelling a lot for demo days. Ball just got...

The Tychoon's tail are pretty flat already. Really just a slightly rockered tail, not really even a small twin. We could take it in a bit more if you wanted. Pretty good photo of the tail in this...

Hmmm....We were trying to do a demo day, but I never got an email back to confirm it and thus never got the insurance needed to run it.

All our 12/13 demos skis are available for sale. We just haven't put them up yet. We have 1 pair of 176cm BGs in good shape. One mount (griffion demo). $425 + shipping or we can hold em for you...

Bag pressed...like vacuum bag?

Or bag pressed meaning a pneumatic bladder?

If it is the latter, avoiding pneumatically pressed skis would exclude basically every ski & snowboard...

There are several pairs floating around now. Testing both stock & tour variants.

The 191cm Skinny we start building last year were straight from the 191cm BG. No changes to the RES at all, just...

Been shooting the 35 f/1.4 for awhile now and love it. $289 is a great deal on the older one, but if the recently announced 30 f/1.4 is anything like the 35, it is going to be a killer lens.

I...

We have a couple proto pairs in house as well so we can keep dialing the sidecut with the hope that we can release this for 13/14. I just really haven't had the time to ski on it enough (limited...

All 12/13.

Canon 24mm f/1.4 II
Sigma 50mm f/1.4

I really enjoy both lenses, especially the Canon. A big part of me wants to keep them both, but the new Sigma 35mm f/1.4 basically never leaves my camera,...

I'm pretty much a whore. I have a few lenses I am about to put up for sale, but once they are sold it will be:

Camera:
Canon 5D Mark III

Lenses:
Canon 17-40 f/4L
Canon 70-200 F/2.8L II IS...

Thanks! That is actually one of the first one we ever did (as you can tell by the logo being messed up). But definitely happy with where they have gone this year. Still blows my mind that trevor...

Don't be ridiculous. We would never make a pair of BGs that soft.

As for the skis, just having some fun. Technically that little radius underfoot is the only positive radius on the ski as the...

Just for clarity:

The new Bosch is a piece of shit.

The 1590 is an amazing jig saw if you can get one. We have several that rotate duty cutting the flash off the tips & tails of skis. We have found that they do...

I'm jealous of all the skiing....

I liked this challenge. Definitely made me think about what I was shooting a bit differently.

#1 - To drive the NS kids crazy, I figured we would drop a new...

All 12/13.

Just picked up the new Sigma 35mm f/1.4. Only had it for a few days but....wow. It is awesome. Definitely going to be selling my Sigma 50 f/1.4 soon. Now I will have to decide if I keep my 24mm...

They might give you a funny look.

Just don't call us Open Skis. Yes. Someone once said to me....Open Skis. I laughed.

As for flat vs cambered, I am of the opinion that layup and construction...

While definitely not the same ski, to me, there is a fair bit of overlap between the two. Depending on where and how you skied, I could see using them enough to warrant both (snowbird, crystal,...

Just my 2 cents...

Baker has a lot of mini-golf for a ski that comes alive at speed like the wren. And a lot of snow.

The wren is certainly a lot of fun, but you gain a lot more soft snow...

Quite a bit different than most of the stuff posted in here and will probably be hated/make people's ear's bleed...but good when you are building skis 12 hours a day.

Yes we go off sidecut. Lots of functional edge beyond the rocker contact points. Even models in the "sometimes" category have basically the same thing, usually just slightly (less then 1.5")...

^^

We are now detuning every ON3P on a scotchbrite wheel and, as a general rule, if it is not within the ski's sidecut/effective edge, the edge is knocked completely down (particularly important...

We moved all the mounts back this year, so I wouldn't go too far back. The 191cm Caylor went back -1.5cm, the 186cm Jmo/Jeffrey went back -1.25cm, the 181cm Jmo/Jeffrey/Caylor -1cm, etc. So if you...

Not sure if they are in there or not, but as far as those individual brand pages in the Buyer's Guide, you pay by the page. Powder Week and the Skier's Choice stuff is, to me, really its separate...

Just messing around with the city lights at night. I used to do lots of nighttime shooting back in high school, but with an eight-year hiatus from any photography at all, I haven't done anything...

TitAnal is the most awesomely named material ever...

I don't think you can really boil it down to big brand vs boutique.

There are big brands building great skis, and there are big brands building junk. Just as there are boutiques brands building...

Skibowl night pass + Meadows Season pass.

T-line is about as flat as can be. It's only value is in the summer. During the winter you might as well just take a nap in your car, it would probably...

Bummer about the sewer line. As for the lens, if it is still around in the middle of october I will shoot you a PM. And no worries about the shipping!

Canon 15-85 & sigma 17-50 still available.

Price dropped on both of them.

So...if you don't value your liver and you want to have a good time...

Those who made it to the Level 1/TSP...

They are all pretty close in stiffness....it is really the mount that changes how they ski.

The 09/10 & 10/11 were both full twin. The 09/10 had our original core material which was 100 grams...

7d, Bower 8mm, Tokina all sold.

Sigma pending payment.

Price dropped on 15-85 to $500 obo + shipping.

All sold.

One of the girls is a friend of ours and she has been awesome in putting it together with her friends. And she does shred.

Last year we had eleven girls, which proved to be pretty hectic at...

New year, new pillowfight photo shoot. Figured I might as well keep this thread going to have a record of everything in one place as this develops over the next few years.

Once I get some photos...

If I was going with just one prime lens on a crop, this would be my vote. I sometimes find the 50 a bit tight on a crop. But I could definitely make the 50 work as well.

Congrats on the baby!

Just a heads up - per feedback from people like Powtron and everyone at ON3P just not being completely sold on how...tame the Tychoon was... it got a redesign this spring. It rips now.

When we...

As someone who used to be a huge quiver whore...I have definitely come along way.

At this point I would totally content with:
