    Is that mount too far back or too far forward in your opinions? It sounds great to me.

    Too far back, this was supposed to slide in between the wren and jeffrey, now it’s just a wren mounted +1 with a baby radius

    the new BG 118 looks like a slightly more aggressive version of the old Caylor to me. I am pretty excited about it and will probably pick up a pair (as my 2011 Caylors are getting pretty tired).

    ON3P SKIS Discussion

    I have an old 184 Billy Goat with RES from the late 20-teens.

    Would like to size up, but now I’m confused about how On3p measures their skis.

    Does the current measurement system still add 3-4 cms relative to conventional brands?

    Should I go 186 or 191 on the new model?

    Meh. The Jeff skis great at -6cm. The wren is more or less gone. The outgoing Woods is way more of a playful all mountain ski than the Wren.

    This is just the consolidation of this ski into one for the masses built on bamboo. Although I felt the outgoing one is pretty damn dialed, will remain to be seen how the tighter radius skis.

    All measurements are post-press. 186cm is 186cm.

    Can you drive Jeffs through the shovels a bit when mounted at -6cm? I did not get along with them on the line. I would like to try them again at some point. Woodsman are mounted too far back for me and I like the shape of the Jeffs more.

    Looks to me like this now replaces both the Wren and the old Woodsman. I bet it would ski fine at +1 from recommended.
    I'd be fine with the new mount point but I'm with you that the radius is getting too small for my tastes.

    BG is still WAY more pintailed than the Caylor was, that alone is going to make it ski pretty differently IMO.

    "Conventional brand" ski measurements are all over the fucking map. Not at all consistent. ON3Ps are simple: if you put a tape measure on an ON3P ski, it will measure the length that ON3P claims it is. Really that easy.
    I would expect the 186cm would feel very similar in length to your 184cm so if you want to size up significantly you probably want the 191.

    What size Jeffrey have you skied @ -6? Is that ~-2 from recommended?

    I have a 186 Jeffrey 108 mounted @ -2 from recommended that I'm not feeling so much. Thinking it's the tune.

    I also have a 191 Jeffrey 108 that feels perfect mounted on the line

    Who knows? No demos. No reviews. Just cool topsheets and the “ON3P rocks!” drivel. Getting hard to shell out those premium dollars for skis with a lot of unknowns.

    While we wait, could anyone compare the 187 of recent release to the previous 189 asym, aside from the dropped tail?

    I have the 181 Jeff 110. I had to get mine retuned immediately.

    Also I’m running warden demos and to me, I think next time Pivots or Griffon demos would be the move. For me on more progressive skis I really feel the need to have less binding ramp.

    I love the woodsman so -4 was too far forward for me personally. Very happy at -6 but would like a binding with less ramp.

    I’m really thinking about a Jeff 118 tour with casts…….

    Gotcha, thanks for the reply

    Had the 186s retuned already, but I took the skis to a shop that may (probably) not know what they're doing. Think it's time to take the 186s elsewhere for a retune

    Pivots on both 191 and 186

    the new skis seems pretty bang on wrt where marked is - not too dissimilar with Moment's Countach.

    It seems like the ski a lot of mags have asked for - slightly less soft snow biased, but still very much true to the spirit of the OG Woods. Most of the changes are in the rockered section, the ee is identical to the OG108, but their all mountain chops should have increased a fair bbit. On paper, the new version fixes all of the things I felt could be improved with the outgoing 110. And if -8 is too far back, just mount a tad forward. This ski should sell like hot cakes.

    And don't even get me started on its potential as a touring ski. Seems pretty damn close to perfect, on paper at least.

    now, if it was partial ti as well...

    and partial ti jeffs while we are at it

    yikes. Kinda harsh based on tune-gate and BG118 192 not fitting with some mags, but if that is how you feel then sure thing. Kinda odd comment to make regarding the BG though, as the changes seem pretty damn aimed at fixing the feedback provided in this thread, where some people liked the former model and some did not. There is no pleasing everybody.

    To be fair, some of my recent purchases from ON3P have not been slam dunks as well, but no reviews or other people's take would've made much of a difference.

    my general advice on BGs, size up, they are usually very easy to ski. The 186 is basically the current iteration of the 184 with a longer rocker section up front, so if you want more ski in the sense of effective edge size up for more support/float/brawn, or if 2cm more out front is enough, go with 186s.

    I only have a few days on my 187’s after I fixed the messed up tune. I feel like the 187’s float a tad better than my 189 Asym but otherwise, they feel quite similar. I’ve had quite a few more days on the 189 Asyms and they feel like an extension of me. Still not there on the new 187’s. Hope to get them dialed this winter.

    I should be the guinea pig for the new 191BG.

    I really liked BG118 182s, but for the fact that they are clearly 179s made longer. I would expect the new 186s to be more akin with 184 asyms, but then again - the difference between lenghts isn't night and day.

    The best BG that I've tried is the 2017 version aka these 184s.

    Theey strike the best balance of loose but still supportive.

    I think the asyms are great too, but the tails are kinda too loose for how I ski. Still 184s

    On a side not - it admittedly pained me to sell the white eagle ski, but their new home is worthy squared so I guess I've come to terms with it Then again I think the 2017 fits me better. I did not care for 179 BGasyms compared to the 184s, I could bend them too much = too much bounce

    Kid Kapow I also really like the 2017 BGs, I skied the 189s. They are equally as good as the 2015 191s I had, but different. I'd have a hard time picking which model I'd vote for On3p to bring back, if ever was given the option. Both are some of my favorite skis of all time.

    The 2015 191 for me was more loose and playful like a 4FRNT Hoji/K2 Obsethed 118, and the core felt more poppy(in a good way). The ski overall was still extremely supportive in 191, much more than a 187 Hoji or 189 K2, but it felt like it had a little more freestyle dna in my opinion, easier to jib around and more maneuverable at slow to medium speeds. It begged me to launch off anything in sight, every side hit, and was super stompy. It was still obviously more of a directional freeride powder charger than anything else.

    The 2017 189 was more stable for me. Everyone was complaining for a year when On3p chopped 191 to 189, but people like XavierD were telling us not to worry, and he was right all along. Not only a stiffer ski, the 189 sidecut felt more precise, and a bit better on edge. Still not a carver obviously but it was slightly more predictable out of deep snow, more like a what a big mountain ski is made to encounter off piste anywhere anytime. I never found the 2015s unpredictable, just looser.

    The 2017 felt so reassuring, like it had a little more Blizzard Bodacious edge to it, minus any real carving ability. I found the 189 length better in funky powder moguls and the stiffer flex a bit more predictable charging off piste than the 191. The 2015 191 might have had a better suspension though, in terms of translating less vibration to my body, but overall I felt faster on the 189 from 2017.

    the thing tha I love with 2017s over asyms is the feel that I can just poke the tails into anything to control the speed. So i dab down the hills, making the tails make my skiing shine - to the degree it can. Asyms kinda wash out for my shit technique.

    182 118s feel much the same to the 2017s (so very, very good), just more meh, softer. As in I ordered the wrong size. Awesome scooping out of the wrong but still right ice cream flavor.

    asyms haul. It is just such a good shape if you want to keep it fall line. 2017s are just a tad more slarvy - as in easieer to keep in the slarve - for me.

    I would love to love to try the new 186, but I just see no reason to replace the 2017s (though I would love a textured top sheet BG). A non-asym C&D would have me tempted, in spite of my history with my current pair of 184s. I stood minutes and minutes on end down range on them after all, wishing I was skiing - not beiing in the sand castle.

    My 189 asym was tougher to ski and demanded more aggression that my 2014 191. Stiffness and tail rocker differences
