While I would love to offer presale pricing on our skis for the rest of the season, just not fair to those who ordered are skis first and such.  So on Wednesday, September 30th, our presale will end. 

Construction - more details on the site but basically.....
-Bamboo Core
-UHMW sidewalls and tipspacers
-22oz glass + biaxial/uniglass on certain models
-3" carbon string above the core
-Chip resistent nylon topsheet
-2.5mm wide edges
-1.8mm thick 4001 base material
-VDS Rubber over edge and sidewalls/tipspacers for improved bonding and vibration dampening
-Fiberglass mounting mat

Oh - and we will be hotboxing every ski before we ship it out, so it should be nice and fast right out of the box.

We are offering the following skis.... http://on3pskis.com/?page_id=22
191cm Great Scott - 145/126/130 - Retail $649, Presale - $499

I'm very interested in the Billy Goat because it seems like a very playful ski and has just the right amount of rocker for the east coast. I'm wondering how it feels in the air ? I'm currently riding Armada Ant and feel like they are too unforgiving to throw tricks of cliffs(I'm able to do some 3s of sizable cliffs but it feels ankward with those) or backcountry booters. How does the Billy Goat compare to it?

Billy Goat will definitely be more comfortable in the air than ANTs.

They won't be as comfortable as say the caylor, or a JJ, where the more center mount will make them more balanced, but they are definitely going to be easier to spin with than ANTs.  More forgiving on landings, too.

As far as a BC booter ski, I don't really think of it as one just because the mount isn't very centered and it has so much taper than you aren't going to want to land switch on it all day.  If you want a BC booter ski, caylor is definitely the best pick.

The Jeronimo wouldnt be a bad pick for a all mountain/pow ski if you're on the East Coast. Its stable, rockered, good for center mount, but not as crazy underfoot as the Caylor. Dont get me wrong, I'm all for fat skis, but I understand that some people arent.

can somebody tell me more about the jeronimos? what is the flex like? can you compare it to another ski? and would they be good for pretty much an all park ski? the rocker seems like it would be fun. or would the blue steeles be better?

thanks

Jeronimos will have a medium flex this year, on the stiffer side of the medium scale, but not super stiff by any means. As far as park ski thing goes, i use it as my park ski/spring day ski and it can definitely be used for a straight park ski for whoever likes to ski something a little fatter for those big hits they are rockin all day, or for those guys that like to take the perodic laps through the trees on the way back to the lift. The rocker isnt terribly huge so it wouldnt really hurt park performance, if anything it'll make it that much more fun what with all the butters and whatnot.

Just by looking at the shape, i would compare them to Kung Fujas, but i havent had the chance to ride those yet so i wouldnt be able to do much comparing.

Jeronimos are a bit stiffer than the blue steele. Both are in the medium or so range, IMO.

for what its worth, i have jesters on my wrenegades, but will be putting dukes on my billygoats.  my dad has salomon z12 ti's on his billgoats.  i liked that the jesters had a pretty small footprint, to allow the bamboo core to flex as naturally as possible.

Should be fine.  As Wil stated above, he had jesters on his skis and had no issues.

Yeah, that is where I would direct you.  At your height no issue with the length, and going to be wide enough to still give you some float in pow.

taken from ON3Pskis.com

Delivery – Pre-sale skis will all be shipped by the end of November.  That includes giving us a fair bit of extra time for delayed material delivery.  We have seen some of the issues other presales have run into in the past and realize how frustrating they can be.  We will be doing two cycles for production: one for all preorder skis, which will be shipped as soon as they are finished, and one for the rest of our inventory following the completion of the presale skis.  For us, it will mean a bit more work to complete the production process, but for you, it means that your skis will ship out as soon as possible.   To keep track of our progress and see how production is going, check back for our weekly blog updates on our homepage.

I would suggest the 181, I think a guy with your stats could handle it for sure. And its actually pronounced, Oh-En-Three-Pee.

I wish I needed Caylors.

Maybe if I buy some now they can lean on my wall mocking me for not moving somewhere with powder yet.

Not only will they mock you for not skiing, they will make you coffee in the mornings when you need to roll out early to catch freshies.

we pulled paypal in favor of a real merchant account.  The rates we pay with paypal are super high and they are just super unprofessional to deal with, so we are trying to use them as little as possible.

If that is the only way for you to pay, I can briefly set it up, but we prefer to actually use our real merchant account for credit/debt card processing, or checks.

Pretty much haven't been this excited about a pair of skis, ever. Even if I only get to ride them in optimum conditions 10 times this year, I'm gonna be stoked as hell every time I'm on them. When can we expect them to ship? Stoked!

Talk to David about how to give your skis rocker, it involves a pretty big jump and an underrotated misty 5.

Oh I forgot my skis need more rocker. I guess that means we should go pre-seasoning together. Preferably when the bushes are still sticking through the snow~
