Dropped our prices today on the little stock we have left. IF your pow skis have not been cutting it or you want to upgrade for spring and have a nice nearly new set to start next year, look here.

A 181 ON3P will measure about the same as most other companies 184. Also if you are that big of a guy, you could probably use a bigger ski in the same way that a smaller guy would use the Jeronimo.

I think you may need a bigger ski than our 181, haha. Yeah, our skis measure true length (EG, make a mark on a wall thats 181cm high, stand the ski up on its tip and it'll touch the mark), so they are usually a bit longer than other companies, but yeah, you need a 191.

As for whether these will be made longer, cant say for sure, but if you want to add your voice to our petition, email me at Rowen at On3pskis.com with subject title "191 J-mo Please!".

I feel like they are a bit stiffer, but much snapper, they give you a lot more pop.

Next years lineup is going to be released in May, we'll have an announcement about our presale around then as well. This is the cheapest you'll find this years skis for, that I do know.

Ginko,

I was wondering how much you guys charge in shipping to Europe?  A friend and me are considering ordering a pair and representing the brand over here in Norway, I assume if we order together we could save a bit on shipping costs? Thanks

I wouldn't make the mistake of calling any park ski stiff... Maybe Addict pros, maybe.

I think you'll find that the flex is just fine for the parts of park skiing that are best served by a stiff flex. We don't make noodles, that's for sure.

Shipping is $150 international, which is a steal cause it normally comes out $200 to get the Europe. If you and your friend want to bundle, it'll be about $50 cheaper for the both of you... and as Mr. P said, the customs taxes are usually a small percentage of the MSRP... but we'll mark them a bit cheaper since we're on sale.

Man if you're complaining about prices in skiing, then you are clearly into the wrong sport.

I think ON3P is one of the better independent ski companies that produce a fine, durable product. Don't knock until you have tried, peter. I know I won't. ON3P seems like quite the awesome ski company.

I'm pretty sure he didn't do anything. Skiing isn't the sport for people who don't have any money laying around/extra. Yes, you are right, the sale prices are still high, but you area also getting a quality piece of equipment that will last years on end. I don't think it's right to say he's a douche or a stuck up rich kid, cause I highly doubt he is either.

No, as long as you aren't a complete dumbass you can get brand new set ups for half of what they are claiming as sale prices. My bluehouses cost me $200, new, and at the beginning of the season.. not end.. and are holding out strong.

or should i get the jeronimos? i ski probably 75% park, 25% all mountain, i live on the east coast so almost no pow, all mountain is just groomers. Which do you think is a better overall ski and which is fore fun/playful?

BSs are softer/lighter and ride fine all mountain, ive skied 10in of heavy PNW pow on them and didn't have an issue, the rocker makes a huge difference

I'd go Blue Steele if you're doing that much park.

181 Jeronimo's/181 Blue Steeles are sold out!

I'm pretty sure presale was just $100 off retail this year, it was $150 during the first year of production.

Not rich at all, my parents are both retired and had mediocre paying jobs. I work at a ski shop 5 days a week while going to university. And its just a fact, if you ski, you're going to pay a lot of money, whether it is for lift tickets or repairs and tune ups, you'll be paying.

Well, actually, that makes my life a lot easier. Now I don't have to A) Hold out my hand and wait for $429 to fall into it, or B) Cry myself to sleep knowing that I can't afford them.
