    no, as in 20/21 Or that is the way I interpreted it - I might be mistaken.

    The reply from Iggy quoted above came after somebody noticed that the touring options no longer were available in the custom builder and asked why.

    I do not know if this is just Iggy/ON3P posting either retro or custom stuff to get people excited or if shorter length BGs indeed are on their way back, but if the latter - then happy news. I would assume the former though, as a 174 BG perhaps would make more sense length wise. I dunno. Can't wait for the 2021 line to drop.

    Retro top for a custom. Also old photo - we're definitely recycling old production content with all that is happening (I don't handle stories unless it is a specific sale/promo post).

    As for short BGs, we can just barely justify keeping the 179cm, let alone reintroducing any shorter sizes. Sales of the other two sizes are like 10x. I'm really only keeping it around this year for the tour options in 108/116.
    Seriously, this can’t turn into yet another ON3P thread....

    Thanks for chiming in Iggy! I hope you guys are doing well.

    Too bad that a re-introduction of shorter BGs is not nigh, though if the numbers are not there then it totally makes sense.

    It kinda makes me wonder how many committed buyers for a 17short BGs a SG-group-buy-type thread / champagne room deal would/could generate The iris graphic mated with a shorter length and narrower width BG could prove kinda popular. Hell, I am guessing that graphic will be super duper popular if you introduce that graphic as a custom option, or just go all in an slap it or something similar on the Jessies.

    I considered buying a back up pair of BGs during the sale, or for just about a milisecond anyway, but I just see no need. ON3Ps ability to shrug of abuse is just rediculous. My BGs and C&Ds have seen heavy rotation this year, yet especially the BGs (with their matte top sheets) still look brand spanking new. The glossy C&Ds do have some scratches, but nothing much there either.

    Yes, the mountain is beautiful, but that pink shirt is hotter than hell!

    I might be reading into this wrong... but it sounds like we might have two different widths of Billy Goats for next year Everyone who was looking for Steeples might be happy.

    ON3P SKIS Discussion

    naw, i have bigger skis for that. i want something that can ski hard snow a bit if that’s what lands. i had no float issues on 189 wren 108s so think i can error small a bit and still be pretty happy in good snow.

    Woodsman unless you like to ski balls to the wall at all times. They are the more causal choice.

    More analysis paralysis:

    Jeffery 108 186cm vs Jeffery 191cm?
    I'm 6'2", 185lbs.

    Leaning towards the 186 as I absolutely love my 186 BG... But if the 191cm Jeffery is hella rockered, maybe it skis shorter? I'm in the kootenays so it's always deep and soft with tons of trees, tons of pillows, etc

    I’m more or less same height & weight. The 191 is great. Skis shorter than it looks, on piste, and wider than it looks, in powder. I would recommend mounting on the line, to keep the swing weight dialed and the turns quick. I’m in the Cascades, in Oregon, so basically the same kind of snowpack.

    Your height would suggest the 191, but your current ski choice screams 186, and either length will handle your weight just fine. I'd say that it comes down to where you find your balance point on your skis.

    The 186 Jeffrey 108 actually has more effective edge than a 184/186 BG, but since it's mounted further forward by ~3cm, they can ski short, particularly for those who have any inkling of a forward stance. For those of us who ski upright and/or grew up bombing around on park skis, they ski all of their length.

    I've skied the 191 Jeffrey 108 a few times, but I personally found it to be too long for me. Specifically, I found the additional length in the tails especially cumbersome in tight, steep terrain. Would you gain some top end stability with a longer ski? Absolutely. Is it worth the sacrifice in agility? Not to me, but again, I've always found the 186 to be perfectly stable in *most* situations because of my upright/often sideways stance preference.

    My inbounds quiver for the previous 10 season has been 186/184 BG (same/same), and 186 Jeffrey 108. This season it became 187 Woodsman 108/ 184 BG, because I wanted that little extra top end for variable run outs without sacrificing agility in the tight steeps. Even so, I still grab my Jeffries during low tide and soft spring conditions for their elevated fun factor (over Woodsman 108) in what I like to call "dick around terrain".

    6' 220# here. The 191 K108 is my daily if it's not hard pack. The more neutral stance was a touch weird the first day on them then it just worked. At my weight, it does give up a little when the snow gets deep and it seems a touch forward on the line but I have BGs for those conditions.

    Like Al says, the tail seems a little long when it's tight but it's definitely manageable.

    What I've noticed is that my ski buddies tell me I'm carving the shit out of them harder than they've seen me do on other skis. It feels pretty cool.
