ON3P SKIS Discussion

[CaliBrit]

My new wrenegade 108 just arrived ,184 length might end up being to short for my 6ft 185 pound strong playful skiing but I'll mount them just to be sure. The recommended mount point is the indent on the side walls?

Probably best not to mount them and send them to me. The indent is meant to be the direct line to your penile dangle for optimum weight distribution.

Few demos left on the website and with our reps...2018 skis are almost ready.

We also have some "QSC" skis (quick ship customs) on the site that are one of a kinds (classic graphics and green sidewalls) for your pleasure [emoji106]

[ScrewYou]

Count me in for a stock 189 Billy Goat as soon as possible. Id love customizing one to be stiffer, but Im afraid ill ruin a good thing.

I think Ill save custimization for the wren 98, early next year. Seems more appropriate.

After all my shit, the least I can do is pay retail for once. I hope you accept an apology in the form of Cash Money $$$$ woot wooot.

This is my gear load for the summer, 191 C&Ds and 189 BGs.

What condition are the wren 98 189's?

Specifically, Is the side wall blemish structural?

The 193cm will happen at some point this fall too, if you want to go longer.

Yes. If you want more details email the info account and we can send you a photo.

Ah. Well well

Blow my skirt up, why dont ya!!

Whats the deal with that? Normal BG, just a larger size? Still 116 underfoot? Different layup?

Either way, that sounds amazing. I want one with the "america" topsheet. Even with a new Cease and Desist coming. Bring on the overlap.

In all honesty, im probably going to get both a stock 189 and a custom extra carbon 'merica 193.. just gotta sell my KTM first.

Part of the impending pre-order or....?

[ScrewYou]

Im going to be skiing sand this summer with them.

[PowTron]

No, but part of limited run, special edition skis we will be doing direct only.

Not sure on how many pairs yet, but will keep people posted.

[Norseman]

Thanks.

[nyskirat]

Woof. That sounds like it'll be a beast of a ski.

If I hadn't just bought some 189s, I'd be interested.

Put that halloween picture of David Steele in the Nurse outfit on the topsheet

Dear God, no. HAHA.

[ScrewYou]

Im really starting to dig the new wren 98 topsheet. RED! With a nice transition into sunburst orange. Nice touch you guys.

[Fallenberg]

haha, I keep thinking the same thing... I already got custom BG and K98's, but a part of me is like "well....... I don't have a dedicated pow ski....."

Hey MHSP, read your earlier posts on your K98s, any additional impressions? I'm looking at a wren 98 or a custom K98 stiffy like you got. Replacing my daily bop around ski for non epic days.

Which mountain(s) primarily? What terrain? How much do you weigh?

Mt Hood primarily, about 205lbs (6'4"). Terrain would be pretty mellow, I use my BGs for just about any new snow above a couple inches. These would replace some old Rossi phantom 80s, which come out for groomers/bumps/dust on crust. I'd think I'd rate quickness over charginess for this ski.

Fucking told them how hard that rocks.

The stiff K98 would absolutely rip on Mt. Hood!!! I bought mine to use as my DD's next winter when I've moved back home to Oregon.

The Wren's would prolly be great too, but the Kartel's are more playful. I can't wait to ride them at T-Line and Bowl.

Not a PNW skier here but I picked up a pair of the 184cm Wren 108s and they are SLAYERS, seriously. For whatever reason I didn't click on the 98s I demo'd but the 108s are unfuckingbeliveable. (stock flex - 5'11, around 185#)

[wyeaster]

they had a bunch of on3ps on sale at next adventure in pdx a couple weeks ago. don't remember if they were new or not.

They are naturally stiffer and a longer turn radius than the Wren 98.

I'd say the W98 looks great for 2018, but the W108 has my heart.

So.much.black.

Gear whoring aside, the w108s and a BG could be a resort 2-ski quiver.

I wish I'd have had a chance to ski the 189 BG, though this 184 is absolutely killer everywhere and doesn't feel/ski short in any way.

Absolutely. While I have other skis, for resort use those will probably be on my feet 95% of the time next season, assuming the 108's aren't vastly different than the 112's that I loved (I'm not too worried about it).

Having said that, I finally got a few hours in on some 193 Cease & Desists (that used to belong to PowTron by way of SierraSkier) and it was an interesting experience. When you're moving slowly, they feel heavy and sluggish / hard on the legs. But once you get them moving they don't feel heavy at all and with the RES sidecut and all of that tip rocker they pivot extremely quickly and were way better in the trees than I ever expected. I was worried 193cm would be too much for my 5' 11" / 175 pound frame but they honestly didn't feel that long. It was windy so I had to bail on Squaw and went to Northstar, and there's nothing steeper than maybe 33-35 degrees so I never found their speed limit, but I'm fairly confident you'd have to be going pretty damn fast to find it. I'd love to take these things cat skiing or up to AK next season if I get the chance. I did find myself scrubbing more speed than I intended and feel like I need another day or two on them to "learn" to ski them properly, if that makes sense.
