Hey guys i need you help! I'm looking to buy a pair of ON3P J'mos and am super interested in these skis. I've just recently learned of ON3P and am looking for some info and advise on this company and their products.

For those of you who have bought and/or rode these company I'd like you to answer to these questions:

1) How long have you owned/rode an ON3P ski?
2) On a scale of 1-10 (1 being worst, 10 being best) how would you rate your experience on an ON3P ski?
3) On a scale of 1-10 (you know the deal) what would you say is the quality of these skis?
4) How well do they hold wax?
5) Will these skis last longer than 5 years?
6) Do ON3P skis chip, scratch and/or break easily?
7) Why do you love or hate these skis?

thanks bros!

Moving this to Gear Talk, and staying out of this since I'm obviously going to give you what may be construed as biased opinions.

If you got any questions about the construction of our skis, drop me a line at Rowen (at) On3pskis.com

ill play ...1) i bought a 176 bg last year 2) a 9 only cause they took so damn long to come. they overnighted the skis when they were ready so i could take them on a trip now thats customer service and i switched graphics. 3) 10 the construction and finish is second to none ...i have never seen a hand made ski with such attention to detail ,i have a pair of early bro models and these are above and beyond sidewalls and edges are thick and planned back ... i have lost track of the numbers ...so all skis come hot boxed and with and awesome grind as good as any race room ski ...rowen or who ever is using the reichman tuner ...has their shit down ... they soak up wax and the grind is open enough for spring skiing.....every ski can chip in my opinion i have handfull of chips on lines and k2 with hundreds of days on them ...none on my bg's yet but on about 6 days on them...7) i think the bg is pretty squirrly on hard pack/ groomer/ getting back to the lift...awesome in trees and tight smear turns ...i should have went longer ....ps. mounted with sth16 on the recommended notch on side of ski which i think is very close ...5'6" 135-140lbs 28 ex college racer/now recreational skier.

1) Since December of 2009
2) 10 for the Billy Goats, 9 for the J-mos
3) 10, quality is unmatched.  Period.
4) It's a nice race base that is hot boxed and ground to perfection, they hold wax fine.
5) I can see my Billy Goats on my ski rack when I'm 30, so ya...5 years minimum.
6) Not in my experience.  I've seen one break, but it was under some pretty extraordinary circumstances that cause the ski to flex the wrong direction with the guys full weight on it.  Durability has been top notch for me.
7) Exactly what I was looking for, attention to detail in the construction, aggressive flex that isn't for pussies, durable, and a great price on the pre-sale for these skis.

My top 3 favorite skis of all time includes 2 pairs of ON3P skis if that tells you anything.

1) Jeronimo Prototypes Since Fall 08

2) 10

3) 10. Most durable ski I've ever owned hands down. (in comparison to 5 pairs of k2, 2 pair ninthward)

4) They are fast as shit from my experiences. Way better than other bases I've owned.

5) Depends on how much you ski them, where you ski them, how you ski them, and how silly you are. A pair of pow skis you ski 20 days a year? Yea.

6) Mine have resisted chipping much more than other brands with sidewalls.

7) They are light, look cool, ski great, durable, and bamboo cores are like no other core material. So damp and so lively at the same time - doesn't make sense describing it that way but I don't know any other way to do so.

Mine, being prototypes didn't even get the treatment the production skis do. They are solid for sure.

I only got 2 days on my Blue Steele's, so I can't answer each question. However, I can say with confidence that these skis shred the park. I never knew how easy stomping was until getting these. Any landing, good or bad, they helped me pull out of it and ride away so clean. My bases and edges are fine, but once again, only 2 days. The only strange thing I've noticed is the just behind the natural curving tip the ski kinda bends, almost like Surface's early rise, but not nearly as extreme. I don't think it's a problem, but weird to see. It didn't effect my skiing at all, so far. Besides that, I've loved every minute on them.

most of the blue steeles that went out last year had park rocker. Did you get a rockered pair?

10
4) How well do they hold wax?
very well
5) Will these skis last longer than 5 years?

6) Do ON3P skis chip, scratch and/or break easily?
just as easy as every other pair of skis
7) Why do you love or hate these skis?
love them b/c they're everyone I was looking for in a pair of skis and they surpassed my every expectation. I also love the fact they are made by 2 stand up guys who know what the hell they're doing. Also the fact that they're made in the USA.

I guess i'll play too...
1. 1 Season
2.10
3.Out of 10, these are an 11.
4. Amazingly. Best base money can buy. These things are insanely fast.
5. Yes, probably the best build skis on the market. Buy em before people realise how cheap they are for what you get.
6. Holding up far better than my Hellbents did (Now sold to make room for more ON3P's)
7. The construction, shape, flex, and design is top notch. Awesome company run buy awesome people. What else do you need?
