I still have 186cm BG to press, but we are close to being done here, so to ensure a smooth transition, we tested the 191cm wren press set up.  Just some photos to tide people over....

Just got this email from Scott.

Our 100 pair 186cm BG marathon from hell is almost done. I have around 24 hours of BG pressing left to do. Around 4am this morning we got a 191cm wren in the press to test it out. Sort of our graduation as we had to make tons of changes througout the BG pressing, so hopefully we get it right first thing with the wrens. It is wrens, 176cm BG, then jmo. JMO is already set up and ready to go.

Shoot me a email or PM in around 36 hours and I should know much more about when you skis will arrive.

after gunning my megawatts with the biggest base patches I've ever made, I am kinda glad I didn't have my Cease and Desist skis in Jackson last week.
I also got to tour the Igneous shop for the first time. It was interesting to see a shop in such form, mentally comparing it to the photos we've seen of ON3P.

Anyhow, I hope that the snow gods and Scott et al have the same production schedule so that my fresh sticks make it to Utah just before I return from my next business trip on Jan 23rd.

These are gonna be the illest! I am going to be riding with a buddy who's got some hUge 203cm iggy snow doobies (the blunt). So we will swap and compare.

My money is on 181 Caylors shipping on January 20th, hopefully sooner.  Bummer they were bumped down the list a couple notches.

Is each model group shipped in order of date purchased?

Yep, i ordered my BG's on the day the pre-order ended. Which is why i have been one of the last people to get them shipped. Compounded by the postage adding an extra week to Yrup. Iggy is the man though, he's using FedEx and eating the cost to make sure they get here pronto. Nice.

I was just guessin btw.  hope for the best, plan for the worst.  Luckily it's not dumping where I'm heading this weekend.

If you are not riding powder soon, it's not gonna matter and worth the wait right?  If you are headed somewhere where you just need the sticks, email one of the guys...and if they can't deliver in time get a refund and order the 'bents from backcountry for the same price.  Scott has stated several times he will hook it up.

I feel your pain man.  It's up to you to decide if it's worth the wait.  Was a tough call for me, but Ima stick it out.  If you want a reply from ON3P, email one of the guys and they will almost undoubtably get back to you within a day.

if you can't handle waiting then cancel your order, but complaining will get you nowhere

i can't say when the caylors will get to you, but i know for a fact that all the on3p guys are working their ASSES off to get you your skis as fast as they can, and uncontrollable factors are not something to blame on them

I think you will be happy once you get them and be glad you were patient. Armada's you can just pick up from a shelf like any fool. Dont be a sheep and buy what the masses buy. Support ON3P all the way.

At the same time, a start-up company is almost always going to have a few hiccups along the way. From what has been posted, they've all been busting ass to make sure everyone's skis are perfect, rather than cutting corners to get things out quicker. The delays for the tester pairs were significantly longer, and I had zero regrets about that wait once I got out on the skis. We're still not into the best months of skiing yet...

Ya that really sucks, but honestly you are a fool if you didn't plan for this.  This happens with most new companies, I didn't expect mine to be here by now when I saw the first update of an empty factory.  I was hoping early late November like they said, but there was no way with how late they started.  Luckily I got my BGs before Christmas and I feel sorry that you have to wait so long.

I still didn't get my shipping confirmation for my BGs 186 and it's already 8 days late, so for those who ordered other skis, I guess you can expect AT LEAST 8-10 days later than the expected shipping date from the email.

But I guess the good part is that our skis won't break like the first generation from most compagnies !

if you ever question on3p, just think to some of the other boutique ski companies started this year...cough333cough

we are all lucky to be dealing with on3p and i'd rather wait for some amazing skis than be quickly rewarded with some shitshow pieces of plywood with epoxy on top

Meh, I was just second guessing your choice to essentially have BG's as a one ski quiver.

I just wasn't sure if you were out here on the EC...I was thinking that it would be pretty bold to rely on billy goats everyday.

I'll second this. Last season, I rode my Caylors more than I rode anything else combined (park skis, mank skis...) They're just too much fun!

Stoked to see the effort that went into my skis through the POV. I think i read the camera was a V.I.O.1.5?

Video definitely deserves it's own thread and space on the web page.

A lot that would have gotten proceed and shipped over the weekend/monday have been waiting for the Reichmenn guys to show up and fix our machine, which they did yesterday, so skis are finally going through the finishing process.  Rowen worked through the night getting a bunch of skis done, which are right now being scrapped and boxed up to go to fedex.  The only shitty thing is sam is out sick with the flu or something, so rowen is doing a ton of one-man finishing and prep work.  Rowen's working hard to get them belt ground, stone ground, edged, waxed, hot-boxed, scrapped, brushed, cleaned, and finished prepped as fast as he can.
