Oh Yeah!!!
Had a good day on these finally, and they are awesome. They have the backbone of an old Wren, that extra fore and aft stability. Yet they release and are capable of turns of most any size as needed. Sure they are more ski than most anyone needs. But I am really looking forward to getting comfortable with where the tails are. It is fun to let them run, and bash chunder

Oh yes. Total country club Snowbird powder day for the super goat inaugural trip.
High speed pow. Check
10-30 foot cliffs. Check
Tight tree skiing. Check
Crud destroying machines. Check
Easily the best soft snow resort ski Ive been on. I don’t go looking for air and found myself cliffed out twice. Due to the confidence in the Skis and the conditions I was able to just say fuck it and drop.
Chair peeps looked at the grizzly corn and had to ask.
Many thanks, just what I was hoping for.

I’m a 317. Sure can. I’ll shoot you a PM. They have STH2’s on so pretty adjustable. I’d love to try some BG’s. Rode the chair w a guy who loved them on Sunday.

Yep, I weigh 225 and the regular stiff is fine for me. When I was talking to Scott about flex when ordering, he asked me "do people take pictures of you and put them in ski magazines"? That's what sold me on the stiff flex vs Aedvers. I'm happy where I'm at. I think full Aed would be too much for me.

I guess we'll see if its offered again. I stand by my decision.

Aeverflex isnt going to bite anyone over 200lbs, that knows how ski decently well. My skillset is nothing special, and I could daily drive them if I never skied big bumps. The RES makes them manageable in tighter spaces. Just keep them out of deep moguls, otherwise they work well just about anywhere.
They are no harder to ski than 191 Wrens or 196 Moment Governors, although they are stiffer than those two. Again, RES makes them more maneuverable than the flex would suggest.
Powtron said it perfectly back in November.. he said something along the lines of; “2x stiff is about as stiff as you can go, without losing too much on the fun side of things”..They are still fun, and wont kill you if you make a mistake.
I agree with Iggy that the stiff flex is probably the best way to go for this shape, but the 2x stiff still has enough flex to float well. Mine are some of the best floating skis I have ever owned. What they do phenomenally, is stomp airs. I havent taken mine off anything massive, maybe 12ish feet, but I could tell they come from Stomp City.
I went Aeverflex because
1. How could I not??? Aever is my middle name!
And
2. Because I am fairly strong and can muscle around bigger skis easily
NOT because I am a phenomenal skier. I am not. I wish that was the case.

It isn't that the Aever-flex cannot be skied. I just think, for most skiers, it isn't necessary. If it is your jam, though, rock out.
Seriously, this can’t turn into yet another ON3P thread....

Big props to ON3P for making the second run of these, I am excited to get my gunmetal stiffs this week. Now we just need another good storm.

SuperGoat PSA - ON3P Limited Run
I agree. I would have been better off with the stiff flex as a daily driver.. But man, Aeverflex charges chop SO well. My fat ass experiences no fore-aft balance issues when straightlining through 2 feet of chop, on stormy days when you cant see anything in front of you. But, in deep moguls, I wish they were a little bit softer and more forgiving. I use my 189 standard BGs when I know there’s going to be moguls.
Maybe Tahoe J can meet up with me this season and film the Supergoats in action. I dont have a GoPro. I could get it on my phone, but it would probably be shotty.
To be clear, Aeverflex is no stiffer than my #5, Heavy core Praxis Rx.
One thing for sure is the SG shape is phenomenal. On3p hit it out of the park. It’s like a 191 wren mixed with a 189 BG.
