Broookwent to buy kartel98's today... ended up north of $800 after exchange to CAD .. couldn't do it.
2goodfordubsI would already have the FRs if it weren't for the weigh, its between the Armada PCs and the FRs, does the weight affect performance, because I know the PCs are super light.

zbphoto+tax, but the benefits of being a Canadian far outweigh the excruciating cost of owning nice things.

Bmo.did anyone ever figure out the powder mag code?
iggyskierYep!
Bmo.WHAT WAS IT?!?
division.bellI was admiring my new GrizzlyCorn Jeffrey 122's last night and came up with a question or two for the ON3P guys. The 2014/2015 catalog and the ON3P website show the Jeffrey 122's to have zero camber underfoot. Yet my pair of Jeffrey 122's have 2mm's of camber on each ski by my measurement.
Was the ski changed before production from zero camber to slight camber? If so, what was the reason behind the change?
.Bobo.Any plans to distribute to UK dealers?
iggyskierWe actually had something in the works for this season - it was looking super promising and we were stoked, as it would have put our skis in a number of shops all over the UK. Unfortunately, the person we were dealing with ended up moving on from the company we were talking to and things didn't work out after that. Just how it goes sometimes!
We will certainly be looking to add UK distribution for next season. We are currently in talks with distributors which would bring ON3P to about 10 countries we are not currently in (and that doesn't include the UK either). Hopefully most of those deals work out, but it you never at this point.
If you want our skis in your local shops, go in and let them know! It helps us out a ton when the shops we are reaching out to already know who we are.
If you have shops you think we should talk with, too, let us know. A lot of the current shops we work with were established after talking with customers, NS members, and the such, so let us know as we are definitely doing our best to find the right shops to work with ON3P all over the globe!
pow_pow~i have 191 caylors from a couple of years ago with trackers on them.
want to drill inserts for both the trackers and a pair of sth's so i can swap it out every now and then.
caylors are currently my one ski quiver haha so having AT bindings on them all the time gets kinda tiring.
would anyone advise not doing this? is the weight difference going to be noticeable/change the feel of the ski?
iggyskierWe do our best to proof everything, but sometimes stuff slips through.
As you can see in the Jeffrey 122 rocker photo, the ski does have a very slight bit of camber. Same as it has always been. It should read slight camber underfoot. So that is just a mistake on our end. I will be sure to get that updated soon.
As for the ski itself, it has just a touch of camber. We find it adds just a bit of pop and responsiveness to the ski vs a purely flat model.

For what it is worth, too, we are gonna make the change to actual ski rocker photos soon. Just one of the many things on our to-do lists.
SwedishSteezeJDHCan't decide between the Kartel 98 and 106. I'm leaning towards the 98 because I ski Telluride, Colorado, and I won't be doing a ton of bc, mostly park and on-piste. Can the 98's hold their own at speed and on occasional pow days? Or are the 106's more versatile i.e geared towards me? Looking for that "one ski quiver", but either way, I'll be getting a pair
.Bobo.That's a shame to hear that broke down, but awesome that your aiming to push your market so far out.
If you haven't already, check out https://www.freezeproshop.com they are my local shop and definitely the most dedicated freestyle distributor on the UK market. In my opinion the best place for ON3P to start in the UK. Next time i'm in i'll enquire into if they have thought about stocking your ski's. Would be stoked of the did.
I found a German shop that sells some models of your ski's and the postage isn't too bad so if they get in what i'm looking for I could be onto a winner. If not i'll pick up a set when I aim to cross the pond next season.
DarthVaderThe weight addition of the inserts is minimal if that's what you're asking, and the sth will feel so much more solid. I think it's worth it if you'll plan to keep them around a while longer.
division.bellScott/anyone else qualified to answer this;
How does the flex on the Kartel 98/106 compare to the other somewhat comparable skis I've been on (2nd year 181 Jmo's/first year 186 Jeffrey's)?
Also, is the flex the same between the 98 and 106 models?
BWalmerI was told that the Kartel has a very similar flex to the Jmo, not sure about the earlier versions of the jmo though.
jeffbajorI have some '13-'14 176 jmos and im not to sure where to mount my bindings... anyone have any suggestions?? I ride about 70% of the time in the park

Mr.PenguinHas anyone put skins on a Jeffrey 122?
iggyskierAs for the 98 vs 106, the 98 is more than capable of being a do-everything ski. The original Jmo, which was very similar, was 96 underfoot and killed it everyday. So if you want a skinnier ski, the Kartel 98 will be fine.
That said, to me, the 106 is about as perfect as it gets for a do-everything width. I wouldn't take 98 out on a powder day, but if I had to, I would ski a 106. To me, the 106 is really the better one-ski-quiver. The 98 is really there to give people who are skiing as much park as all mountain a good do everything ski. But if you aren't skiing a ton park, I see no reason not to go with the 106 personally unless you were skiing on the east coast.
Freeze Pro Shop has definitely been one of our top choices for years. We're talked with them a bit in the past and will definitely be doing so again this fall in the hope that we can work together for the 15/16 season. Definitely a super good shop.
JD.Nevermind that^
I decided on the Kartels
TWoodsGood choice!
Gnome_in_GnarniaRight now I'm skiing a Bluehouse Maestro (think JJ minus the camber underfoot; 118 and flat underfoot, 5-point side cut, tip and tail rocker, mid-soft). Its great as a playful pow ski and can handle some soft chop and the like.
What I'm looking for is a ski to charge through crud and to ski when there hasn't been snow for a while. I'm 5'5", ~145lbs, don't ski much park at all, ski mostly A-Basin.
What ON3P ski fits this bill?
Thanks!
BWalmerAre you looking to replace that ski with new ones, or add to the quiver. If replacing, Jeffery 114, if adding Kartel 106. Both will charge hard and bust through whatever you put in front of it.
Gnome_in_GnarniaI'm more looking to add to the quiver. On deep days the Maestro's do everything I need. What are the differences between the Kartel 106 and the Wren 102? I'm guessing the wren is a little stiffer and the kartels are more playful? I see they still have last year's viciks for sale. Would these fit the bill?
Thanks!
daveyjonesso i headed into my local shop today and flexed a 181 jeffery 114 and last years jeffery 181 and it feels like the 114 is slightly stiffer. two questions... did you stiffen it up? and as they go bigger in size do they get stiffer or softer or stay the same?
