ON3P SKIS Discussion

[Orthoski]

^^^ Thanks for the input. Kinda happy I snagged 184 102ti after reading that. I recently let go of some 184 Wren 108's from the earlier, softer iterations. They were great, but somewhat not in neither the (my interpretation of) all mountain nor pow category. I'm hoping the 184 102ti's will be to me what the 183 BC Justis wasn't...

I admittedly ski out east, but use the 184 102ti as my daily driver - love it's versatility on hardpack in all turn shapes and it's not at all demanding in the bumps or trees, can hold a carve except on true ice, but makes any stashes (natural or manmade) so much fun, has whatever addictive aspect of the ON3P bamboo core combination of poppy but stable. The only time I find myself reaching for something else is pure ice after a refreeze or powder. For reference, I love the Jeffery 116s in powder (BGs if it's a true 3D snow day), so it's not like I'm the traditional Wren hard charger who only makes big turns. I just find myself coming back to them every time I try something else 80-90% of the out days out east.

any news from the factory party for those who were lucky enough to attend?

It was sweet. Beer + brats + skis is a winning combo. Some folks who work in the factory were hanging out and I had a great time shooting the shit with them and a friend I brought along.

There were some pairs/returns being sold. Got myself some Mango 100s for chill days/park laps next year. Also got my girlfriend a pair of Kartel 98s.

There's a ski coming out for one of their athletes next season and it looks sick. I won't say anymore because idk if I'm allowed to or not and I want to go back if they host it again next year

Yeah scored some Jeff110’s I’d been holding off on. Going to throw shifts on them and lighten the BG110 with a pair ATK freeraider15’s for a daily tour setup.

Sounds like some cool custom options for next year.

Didn’t even realize the Aerial Photo overlays on the Jeff’s, super cool details especially since that’s my line of work

sick skis

[jacob_dbu]

I think I might have to get a pair of those during the custom sale this summer

[RudyGarmisch]

Woods Tours went on a long walk with me this past week in WA. Please disregard the crusty socks drying from the toe pieces.

rad

[ASmileyFace]

High quality summer skiing stoke! Crusty socks just add to the radness imo.

EDIT: Also I remember seeing a few folks looking for Charlie Murphy... They made 12 pairs this season. FLASH code for $100 off still works too, so go get em for the Groms out there!

Anybody found reasons to deviate from the recommended line on Wrens? Besides hole conflicts, that is...

My fingers are itching to drill the 102ti's as a bit of summer therapy!

I ski mine on the recommended lines and love them.

Yeah, that's where I put them. Was happy on the line on the 108's. Not many voices in here this time of season though, but thought I'd ask anyway. 😎

[kid-kapow]

On the line is a good choice. I've pondered remounting various pairs over the years just to see how they ski there, but never ended up doing it.

I've skied Wood110s at on the line & at +1 (skied no better or worse, just differently) and Kartel116s at -2 (skied well in both spots, I now understand that my issues with that ski were down to binding delta).

don't be shy though - let's see some pics of the newly mounted sticks!

Right, here they are... The matching Griffons is another sweet story, as a Scandiland sports chain were dumping them one spring weekend for under fifty bucks, yeah that´s right, sub fiddy! Only white, and only with 90 mm brakes though but I had wider Royal brakes since before. Sweet!

[waxoff]

^^^BTW, I snagged two pairs of them binders back then. 😁

[kid-kapow]

damn - nice!

My favorite ever ski has been the Rossignol Super 7 (L:195cm, w:116mm) from 2010-2012. They are super heavy, damp, slarvy and playful in powder and crud, drives hard through crud, have no speed limit with nice metal layers, and carve well enough on groomers.

I have a cast setup waiting to be mounted on my next replacement of the Super 7s. What ON3P ski is most similar to what I described in the Super 7s?

Billy Goat is most similar to Super 7s. IME BGs are more more stable in chop/crud and just as slarvy and playful (if not more) than Super7s in pow. Super7s are slightly better on firm groomers.

^ this. BG is better at everything except carving. On a S7 it can actually be fun, whereas on a BG it's just getting by (not difficult at all to turn in groomers, but it is limited to underfoot/tail steering "carves" by the RES tip)

[kid-kapow]

yeah, BGs sounds like just the ticket. Adrenalated take seems on the money - though I kinda think from looking at their relative flex profiles and dimensions that the BGs should be a fair bit more capable and looser in denser / variable snow (though to be fair, it is actually hard to find skis that skis that kinda snow as well as BGs).

Care to elaborate? I’m eyeing a custom order, but not sure if I should place my order now or wait until they update the website for 2024.

[Gerome]

Ok, so the Billy Goats sound like the right choice. I wasn’t sure if the Jeffrey or Billy Goat would be more similar to super 7s, but it sounds like the Billy Goats will work

If you are going to do the 192 BG, wait until the next release. They will not be what you want if you buy the current version. Too locked in with current side cut/tail. If getting 187, you should be fine.
