Those were great, both in uncut and heavy crud. Sold mine last year though. Probably skied them 50-60 days, including 10 10-15 inch days in Japan in 2014
That being said, the newer Billygoats with RES float just as well, are more nimble, and far less cumbersome. Better in crusts as well.
Regret selling the last of my two OG ON3Ps though....
Edit: jeeeez, just realized that those are my old ones

Shout out to @N1CK.
Let me take his custom 184 BGs out today. Ullr delivered and gave >13” of soft goodness!!
Needless to say I am in love!! I found them very nimble and spun 3’s of pretty much any natural feature! I was hesitant to believe what people said about them — with a nice neutral stance they pivot on a dime in tight trees! Driving the tips made them feel squirley which took a couple of runs to adjust to but holy shit!
Stoke. Stoke. Stoke.
My poor wallet.

6ft - 200lb.
I’m so torn... what will probably win this discussion is the spot the BGs will fill in the quiver. These will be my deep snow / tree ski. Based off what Nick said (skied the 189 vs 184) he felt similarly and for a ski dedicated for Goatin around in steep tight trees the 189 felt noticeably heavier and more cumbersome. Wish I could trial them vs K116 on a day like today. The K has a longer effective edge which makes me think it would not be as quick in trees.

A ski doesn't know how tall you are (unless we are talking extremes and at 5'11" you are not) but it does know how much you weigh.
I don't know if the Kartel is getting the slightly stiffer treatment for '19 that the Wren is getting: you may wish to contact ON3P and ask (because if that were the case getting a slightly softer custom '19 might be very close to just picking up a '17 or '18).
Also, as you are probably well aware, these measure true to length plus a bit more. So a 176 is going to measure about 176.5 straight pull and the 181: 181.5. Point is, buying the 176 would be like buying a big co's 180 and at your weight it may be right.Last edited by FlimFlamvanHam; 05-04-2018 at 12:09 PM. Reason: spelling

184 Steeple 108s continue to disappear in a cloud of fucking awesome under my feet after skiing them in a wide range of spring corn/schmoo/refreeze conditions the last couple weeks. I haven't dropped into anything that was steep and shiny, but I don't expect any ski would perform in such conditions. Anything at all edgeable has been fine. Variable 3d spring snow ranging from well-timed corn to over-cooked and then slightly refrozen corn has been easy and enjoyable. Two thumbs way up on these!

I've been having a fkn blast on my Tychoons this spring. They rip!
Been thinking that the new Wren 96 are looking kinda similar in dimensions, but with more tail rocker and probably a little stiffer. Both bi-radius, same waist.
Could the new skinny Wren be thought of as the next gen Tychoon? Or are the differences too great to bother with that "lineage" connection?

Too funny.. they’re advertised as “touring, fat ski”. Thought something was off. Hoping maybe a vicik or wren112
Thanks
Edit; just saw norsemans post. Now I wish they were shorter,I could use them. $100 Canadian on Kijiji if anyone’s interested. They measured them in inches.sounds like 184,s
