Any update on the shipping?
Has anyone gotten their skis?

Feels pretty shitty that it's December and I still haven't heard a thing from ON3P about shipping.
Been looking by this thread like 5 times a day for at least a month now but still nothing. I don't care if they are in the factory building skis and whatnot, it's really shitty. It feels like people let it slide cause its ON3P..

If you have concerns you should contact them directly instead of staring at a thread on NS.

I have a pair of jeffery's coming too. I am planning on using mine as a free ride powder ski so lots of switch pow. Should i stick with the -4 recommended position or go for a more forward mount?

I don't spend much time switch in pow on my Jeffrey's, so I would wait for a better opinion than mine as I love the recommended mark for the riding I do.

I imagine -2 would give you just what you're looking for in switch performance, but still keep enough ski for when you want to charge forwards.

I've got them mounted at like -1.7(Were -2, but downsized a boot size and had the heel remounted.) I really enjoy where it is. I used mine a bit (Like, maybe 1 lap a day) in the park last season and I feel like the -4 would have felt the same. I really don't know why I mounted them at -2 instead of -4, probably because I like to ski jibby and thought the ski would be boring...I don't know, but I've liked it. I'd say go recommended. If I were to do it again, I'd go recommended, because people say it is definitely the money spot on the ski. Guarantee it would still be jibby at -4. That being said, I've noticed no negatives to my skis being mounted at -2. I think with either spot on the ski you'll be fine. I wouldn't go further than -1.5.

To ease your thoughts. Measure out 2cm. Look at how tiny it is. And know that no matter where you mount those Jeffrey's, they will seriously be the most fun skis you've ever put on your feet.

Damn, got an email that my skis are shipped almost straight after my rant. I do think that waiting 8months is retarded tho.

Really hyped!

8 months isn't much considering you pre ordered and had to wait x amount of months before they started production.
If if was 8 months to process an order, that would be something different.


Really wishing I had picked up a pair this year, my goats are out for a big until I get my bindings replaced.
And with Kicking Horse opening this weekend, it's going to be a painful weekend for me

To be fair it was the very first season of public production, they had to completely build the factory and deal with all the issues any start of manufacture has to deal with. Problems that are a distant memory now, a lot has changed since those days. The quality and speed they are able to put into a product now is on another level.

Skied mine at -1 (inbounds, daily driver/all mtn jibby ski) and at -3 (touring), and I was happier with the performance further back.

Really, I think that I and many others overestimate the need to mount forward relative to how much we actually ski switch. The performance lost for most of my skiing (which is forward) isn't worth the gain for a random switch landing here or there.

Either way, you'll love them. In my opinion, it's the best ski ON3P makes (until next year...).

Thanks for the input on Jeffrey Mounting guys, can't wait to get my hands on these skis. Mine had a topsheet defect so they got delayed, which I think in the end is a good thing because I did some damage to my Faction Prodigys (my older all mountain do-everything skis) yesterday at Breck and if that would've happened to new skis I would be pissed. Once the Jeffrey's come the Factions will likely be dedicated early/late season skis.

My former self threw a hissy fit, then went to hit the park. My current self doesn't care, and put on some skins.

And yes, it is something like Smeagol talking to himself.

Caylors and Jeffrey's ("mini Caylors" for the not so deep days) would be a killer 2 ski quiver for the PNW. Add a pair of park skis if you need to and you are set.

i could find an excuse to have like a 7 ski quiver. a park ski a powder ski and an all around ski is a pretty "smart" setup

Those are the bindings that I use in my mockups when I do graphics, haha. That's literally what I picture when I think of any pair of ON3P mounted now.

How durable are the filthy riches? Looking to get them and I'm skiing on K2 Recoil's right now but the side wall just blew out completely today.. :( So I want a more kind of fun softer ski but I did want something a little more fat. But if the filthy riches are durable and light and everything I've heard about ON3P is true.... Then I really want to get them! lol
