I'm lookin at buying these and I was just wondering how well they would perform on ice and park. Where I ski there is quite a bit of ice and I'll be hittin the park quite a bit. Also how stiff are they? I don't like super stiff skis. Thx +k for good answers

I dont personally have them at the moment. But I know quite a bit about them.

They do indeed shred all mountain very well. How heavy are you and what is your height? They are a pretty stiff ski. Good for those heavier riders. Not the greatest for mogul zipper lines, but can get the job done. People say they charge pretty hard at high speeds. Not greatest for park. If you need a ski that can shred in the park, I would for sure go with the Jeronimos because they also hold there own all mountain.

I am 5' 10" and 130lbs. I heard that the jeronimos were overly stiff. And I don't like the design as much. But I will definitely consider them!

If your going to want something that can shred the park pretty well. The only 2 on3p skis I would consider would be the Jeronimo and the Filthy Rich. Then the Vicik and Jeffrey are more all mountain/ pow oriented. At that weight and wanting to ski park, I wouldnt go for the Jeffreys.

Hold on... you ski ice and park... and you want a 107mm waisted rocker ski.

What is wrong with you.

Filthy Riches are more what you're looking for.

No i don't just ski solid ice runs everyday... but the run to the park is usually all ice and I was wondering If would look like a fool sliding everywhere.

This season in Utah has been pretty comparable to that, so far. I don't have any issues with sliding around on ice based on the design, however when your edges get dull (rails) any ski will slide around.

They are very very solid ski. I haven't had any issues with them being sqirrely if you're a solid skier. Obviously the running length makes them easy to pivot tracking straight, but I have a race background and they rail hardpack.

Funny, because we're actually making a ski just like that called the "Jeffrey XL". Just order a pair of 191 Caylors and we'll send them to you.

Oh, they have Caylor topsheets.

This post was made when NS had only made the dims for the 171 Caylor available on the article on the front page.

BTW I may own a few ON3P's.

The 186 is a good length. I guess it could be a couple cm longer but I don't really feel like I desperately need a 191.

In reality..this.

Honestly it's longer than most other companies 186. Though I think a 191 same width with a little extra stiffness in the tip and tails would crush.

I would love a 176 range Jeffrey! I really want a ski like the Jeffrey, but 186 is just too long, and i think 176 would be perfect, and I'm sure people would buy it, as a lot of people are looking for a Jeffrey-esque ski, but 186 is simply too long for most people

Do not fuck with the Jeffrey. Not this year. 186 is perfect.

But to bring this thread back on track, I second (or third) the suggestions for a pair of Filthy Rich. Awesome park ski with lots of pop, stiffness where it matters, and the softest flex pattern that ON3P sells.
