TotalNanHow did the 106s handle the whole mountain? I have FR's and absolutely love them but I need a burlier ski with more ass behind it for Jay Peak. I'm not trying to win the FWT, but I'm also not looking for just an uber fat park ski. Trying to decide between Kartel 106 and Jeffrey 114. Needs to be nimble enough for the crazy tight trees at Jay but still rip steep open sections.
In a perfect world I would get the kartels for all mountain and the billy goats for powder, but I'm a college student (aka no money) so I'm thinking the jeffreys might be a good 1 ski middle ground. Unless the loss in powder performance from the jeffreys to the kartels is less than the loss in nimbleness from the kartels to the jeffreys which would warrant just getting the kartels
DeebieSkeebiesKartel 106 or Shreditor 102s? looking for a nice do it all whip that I can go play in the cruddies/pow a little bit and hit some park booters all in the same day.
MartianManWho was the guy riding Kartel 106's at Jackson today?
Valhalla.Some local guy, I met him this morning when he brought them in for a wax but don't remember his name.. First time seeing them in person with bindings, now I want a pair even more.
MartianManWord. He was wearing Strafe too, so he looked legit. I gave him a shoutout on how sick his skis were haha.
Carl_the_LlamaSo I'm looking at replacing my Shreditor 112s, have started to find them a bit too floppy in chop and railing stuff. I also have Shred 102s that are more my park and crappy snow ski. I was thinking maybe a Jeffrey 114? I ski mostly AB/BC rockies, don't get a lot of big snow but I like the look of the 114s... The only thing I'm worried about is the stiffness and maybe the dampness/weight... I don't really want a stiff ski, I like buttering and pressing, jibbing around... I also might take them in the park every now and again, probably not often, but maybe on the way to the lodge occasionally... I'm 6' 160lbs for the record. Anyway, hope you guys can help me out, would love to support a company like on3p.

RudyGarmischJeffrey's wont be too stiff, but you seem to be looking for a stiffer ski based on why you want to retire the 112's. You'll still have the 102's as a go to soft ski, and I know you'll find the Jeffrey's to be more fun, more chargey and stable at speed. And BC/AB gets some snow, doesn't it? Where do you ride?
luke.hampton.750How does the stiffness and flex of the billy goat compare to the Jeffrey 122 in 191 length. I am looking for a powder ski than can still handle chop and crud at speed. The other skis I am considering are the moment biddy pro and blizzard bodacious.

Carl_the_LlamaDoes that apply to Canada as well?
iggyskierThat code is just good for the US. Canada is crazy. It is costing us close to $80 to ship a single pair of skis up there right now.
Email the info@on3pskis.com account and we will give you guys an a discount code that will cut the cost of Canada shipping by the same cost as we are discounting the US shipping.
Do you know what skis you are looking for too? We have some dealers up there who have some skis they need to still move.
Chubz.Any tips on making my kartels softer? I love eveything about them i just wish they were more buttery. Its hard to really get them up
TWoodsHow many days do you have on them?
Chubz.Probably 30ish? The tails have been pretty soft since ive gotten them but im having a lot of trouble getting any kind of real flex out of my noses
Im on 106s btw
PudgeHaha still not quite!
Let's see, four skis with two options, but they are not the same skis. n choose m is equal to m choose n, n cannot choose n.
Six options, you guys are half way there
PudgeWinnaa, getting the K106's mounted tomorrow with my STH2's I pulled off the old Jeffs, Speeds for J114
MartianManCurious, why didn't you go with the Steeples to throw the Speeds on?
.lenconWhats the deepest you guys have taken the Kartel 106s through? Considering selling my YLE (its my pow all mtn ski) and getting Kartel 106 as a one ski quiver. Don't get too many pow days and when I do it doesn't take much to keep me afloat (I'm 5'7 and 130 pounds) Thanks guys!

BWalmerI wouldn't be afraid of taking in a foot or so of powder, and I'm sure it can handle more than a foot.
Chubz.Im A bigger dude and i was floating in almost everything wny threw at me this year. The only time i wasnt was when i get into some over knee deep snow that hadnt been skied all year. I think youll be fine, the rocker is absolutely insane
.lenconWhat's the deepest you think you went through this year? Personally I think I'd be fine I just wanna make sure.
Chubz.Probably 12-14 inches. They charge very hard my friend
NigelSteinAre the Pillow Fights gonna be available as a limited edition again next year?
