wasn't ON3P originally something like igneous(can't remember)?  was the new name easier for us to remember while looking like a logo of letters and number at the same time, so it will be stuck in our heads easier and we will be brainforced to buy your skis?

ah.  Was Igneous also started by you?  I seem to remember you mentioning making the FFF as your first ski a while ago on TGR.  the 200 FFF sure looks like one fun charger.

No.  Igneous was started by Adam Sherman.

I owned a number of igneous, and my name "iggyskier" was because of igneous, but I had no part in the company.  I was like 12 when they really started making skis.

I owned two pairs of FFFs, so maybe that is where the confusion is.

got it!  and last thing- is the production run of Blue Steele still medium-stiff?  and with all the hype I am guessing you guys are doing good with the pre-season sale?

They are medium stiff, but I would qualify that and say they are medium stiff for a park ski.

We can't say too much about our sales volume, but we are confident those who do buy our skis will be happy with what they get!

alright thanks.  And I haven't seen a single real bad review of ON3Ps out of all the TGR reviews I saw a bit back, so not being happy wasn't a fear.  Good luck!

Well, I am sure as more and more skis get out there, someone will dislike em, but I cannot please everyone so it is what it is.  We think they kick ass so we are definitely happy with them.  Thanks for the stoke.

I think they're kick ass. Rode on my customs pretty much every day last season into June and they're still going strong. At night I hear cries from my wall where they are mounted, "Go skiing in Chili, give us powder!"

That's actually probably the people you keep locked in your closet. Easy mistake to make though.

I ride Caylors. Since I started doing so, I have forgotten why I even own other skis. I guess for rocks and such.

13th and Proctor were the cross streets where the company started.
