Seconded.

For an all mountain/pow ski in CO, the 181 Jeffrey would be perfect for your weight/size.

If you are a strong skier, you could handle the 186's no problem, but for everyday, don't give a shit about conditions just grab the Jeffrey's because they're so damn fun "day"; 181's.

I ordered 186 Filties. I'm 6'1 185lbs and a type 3 skier. I will be center mounting them, skiing 95% park and then a couple days of powder on a trip I'm going on. Recently I heard ON3P skis measure out longer then listed size. Will I be fine with the 186 or will it be too long?

Perfect thanks man. I figure they will ski shorter anyway due to all the rocker in the tip and tail. Bamboo core they should be pretty light too

I'm basically the exact same person as you and I also ordered the 186s. I was sorta worried they'd be too much but basically everything I've read is that you are going to want the extra length. People who got shorter ones wished they had gotten longer ones. I haven't read anyone going the other way ie people wishing they got shorter ones.

What you didn't see last year was softgoods we received that were not up to our standards. We don't want to put out a crap product, ever. The shirts were legit but the manufacturing partner had screwed up the fit. they fit skinny mofos like me... and a lot of other people out there, but they are a little too skinny in reality.

So, actually, it's my problem. Because in between ski graphics, marketing meetings, helping Scott and the guys plan for 2015, helping with the team, shooting photos, and rebuilding the website, I haven't been able to find manufacturers that are up to our standards.

I think that we've found hats, as well as some awesome polartec insulated beanies for those of you that ride without helmets to keep you warm, and we may have found shirts recently too. However, hoodies and other stuff are going to be tricky. The factory I want to use requires that we submit patterns. So, I have to find someone who knows what they are doing to help with patterning. It's do-able, but I'm not going to do it if it's not done right! I'm morally opposed to selling you guys garbage!

The other kicker... this is all stateside, and anyone who tries to produce anything in low quantity in the USA knows how hard that is to convince people to do!

So there it is. I'm working hard on it, trust me. I would love to have hoodies for the spring. I just am unwilling to try to manage the disaster that last year became again!

Sorry for the inconvenience. I have a sketcbook full of ideas and it's just as frustrating to me as it is to you that we don't have hoodies!

The samples I saw last year year looked awesome. I know there's a ton of potential so I can't wait for a final product to come to fruition.

BTW my ON3P shirt is the best fitting shirt I have. Literally perfect

So I'm getting a brand new setup this season and at first I planned on getting Jeronimos because I ride mostly park but make a couple trips out to the mountains every season for powder + all mountain skiing so I wanted more of an all mountain ski that would be decent in powder, so I went to my local shop and picked out some 171 Jeronimos with Rossi Axial 2 120's, and some FT Hot Doggers, and asked for the skis to be centre mounted. Picked my skis up a week later only to find out they were mounted about 3-4 cm back from true centre, and I was pretty pissed off about that so I called the shop and told them, and they said because of the rocker profile of the Jeronimos that's what centre would be for them, I hadn't even thought about that or taken that into consideration, but I wanted a centre mounted ski because I ride like 80% park. So I took the skis back to the shop and chose a pair of Filthy Riches instead, and just got the bindings I bought switched over, and the shop was really cool about it. Needless to say I'm fucking stoked for them and can't wait to shred them this year. Just curious though if I had gotten the Jeronimos mounted true centre would they have performed really shitty? The guy at the shop told me they'd be really difficult to ride and that I would always land really nose heavy, I don't see why I would though.

My XL sized tshirt from last season was much too tight fitting for me to wear comfortably; 6'2" @ 185lbs. The length was perfect, much better than the tshirts from the past few years; first shirts/Grizzlycorn shirt. So despite the XL tshirt not fitting me comfortably, I did however find the tshirt worked much better as a sexy dress for my wife...!

The flatbrim hats were super nice as well, I love the attention to detail on the inside and out. I was definitely blown away when I got them. Any chance there would be a Flexfit ball cap style hat for those of us that don't fit/like the flatbrim hats? The hats fit on my head no problem, but the wide flat brims just do not "fit" my head if that makes sense. Ball caps with Flexfit however; I'd buy several, no hesitation.

/my $.02

Thanks for the hard work!

No, I have Jeronimos at dead center for 50/50 and they rip literally everything and anything. Also, last time I checked Jeffreys, Jmos, and Fr's all have symmetrical rocker anyways. The guy is probably a racer and skis with a very forward stance aka hates dead center skis; if you adjust your stance properly I doubt you'd have any issues.

My buddy Chris skis them -1.5 from center, he slays rails, will throw down a lazy cork sev from time to time, but still rocks the all mountain. I would say he skis them 50/50

If I owned a park ski I would have gone -1 or -2, but at the time I figured I'd go centre for the last few months of blackcomb spring park.

JFC... I can understand you wanting your skis and/or needing them, but do you not understand how ON3P's build process works? It's all hand made by only a few dudes, and obviously the demand has gone way up and they're cranking out skis as fast as they can. patience dude, you'll get your skis and they'll be worth the wait.

Quality >>> Quantity >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Rushing and losing out on both

I understand they are working as hard as they can. I just didnt expect the skis to be shipping this late, I just got an email saying they will be shipped next monday. I get that unforseen circumstances may arise and shipping gets delayed. I'm just getting very impatient for the skis.

Are we ever going to see the Skinny Billy Goat that had a couple reviews floating around TGR last winter or has that been dropped from the list of stuff you're working on? I feel like a Baby Goat would be the perfect little brother to my Caylors and I don't want to spend my money on something else if that's coming down the pipeline soon.

If a skinny goat is made. I'll take one next year.
If a stiff-Caylor-billygoat-jib-bigmountain-hybrid was made. I'm in too.


Soo....I'll hold out and pray until then

I don't think so, the skinnies look to be marketed way more towards the touring crowd. I spent some time on them in variable inbounds conditions and felt that they(skinnies) would be better in untracked. Apparetnly i'm not the only one. The Vicik is still a better for if people are looking for a direction charger, especially inbounds.

Looking for some mount advice on the Jeffrey's, I've got a pair coming in soon and I know the recommended line is at -4, but I've heard -2 is pretty great as well. These skis will likely not be in the park much if at all, and I plan on mainly using them as a fat all mountain for days with some new snow and tree skiing. What's everyone's experience with them?

Recommended mark is the way to go if you're not planning on taking them into the park much.

Even if you do ride park with them at recommended, you'll be just fine. It's where I've mounted both pairs of the Jeffrey's I've owned and I wouldn't change it for any reason.

FWIW the ski's in the middle are 186 Jeffery's, you can see the mount is pretty far forward already.
