ON3P is finally bringing a demo fleet east for the first time ever. We've wanted to for years, but that is pretty far for the demo truck to travel from Portland. Well, with the lack of snow out west this year, we scrapped a planned West Coast demo trip on Thursday and put together an East Coast demo tour as quickly as possible.

Before you let us know how we are missing your mountain on the first part of this trip, please note that 1) we planned this trip in a few days a week from the dates we've scheduled, which isn't easy and 2) the demo fleet we are bringing out is staying out on the east with our new NE Rep - the illustrious BWalmer - so expect a lot more demo days on the East Coast in the future.

If you have a mountain you want us to check out, post it up and let your mountain know! It is very helpful when the resorts we are contacting about a demo day already know our name.

In the meantime, here is the schedule for the next two weeks. Do note 4-6 more East Coast demo days will follow later this year.

Friday 2/27 = Blue Mountain, PA
Saturday 2/28 = Big Boulder, PA
Sunday 3/1 = Holiday Valley, NY
Monday 3/2 = Holiday Valley, NY
Tuesday 3/3 = West Mountain, NY (3pm-8pm)
Saturday 3/7 = Smuggler's Notch, VT
Sunday 3/8 = Loon Mountain, NH



There are two other potential midweek demo days being discussed for next week, but they aren't confirmed at this point.

We are working on a number of demo days the rest of the season. Definitely Sundown, Sugarloaf, Mt Snow, and hoping obviously for a lot more. If you have suggestions, post them up. If we don't hit them this year, we will get there next season.

If you can, show up, try some skis, and let us know what you think. Thanks!

mtnjaxoh nice! I grew up 30 minutes from Boone and went to college at App State in Boone

App Ski Mtn has the best terrain parks and i'm sure you could get plenty of people to demo for those types of skis, Sugar Mountain is the biggest and has the most runs, but Beech Mountain has a bigger area at the base near their brewery and restaurant where you could set up

Winterplace and Snowshoe are the 2 best in West Virginia


Sweet! Thanks for the info. If you have any more suggestions post them up!

We were really hoping to demo there this Sunday, but the notice was too short to make it work. Hopefully we can make it out next year. If you want to see us out there, let Willi's know!

Too bad you guys couldn't do a touring ski demo on 3/7 at Otis ( Elizabethtown, NY ) for Skifest!

http://www.mountaineer.com/ski-fest/events/

"Otis Mountain will host demo gear (skis and boots) from Voile, Black Diamond, Dynafit, Elan, Kastle, Mammut and Scarpa as well as several mini-clinics. Join us and our great reps for some fun skiing at a small private ski hill where you can skin or ride the rope-tow for turns on all-natural snow. Registration not required, just show up ready to ski! "



Seems like a perfect match for you guys.. Also, Gore. Saw it mentioned a few times on Instagram. Fun place to ski. If not, I'll see you guys at Whitefce hopefully soon.

iggyskierSchedule won't allow on the first leg of this trip, but post them up and we will do our best to stop at them in the future. Thanks!


You guys should definitely hit up Gore or Whiteface sometime. I have Kartel's but honestly I know a lot of people who would drop cash and buy a pair if you guys had a demo day.

Went to Blue today, and I DIDN'T hit any rails on the non detuned skis...

Liked the skis though. Tried 171 FRs. They're light and energetic. Kartel 98s were similarly light feeling. It was nice to see they sent FRs detuned for park and encouraged park riding on them, unlike any other demo I've been at.

Not skipping over Maine. Just limited time as the dates listed are just the first two weeks the skis will be out east. Lots of demo days to come, so stay tuned.

We have some later in March - check http://www.on3pskis.com/demodays. That said, given conditions right now, I wouldn't be surprised if the dates are cancelled. Hopefully the snow finally shows up.

Not this year, but that is one of the next spots we are going to try and get a demo fleet going I think. Wouldn't happen until next fall at the soonest.

Ski Sundown is this sunday, 3/15.

Not sure if Mt Snow is going to happen. Working on the logistics of it. As we aren't carried in their on-hill store, it might be an issue trying to demo there (which we totally get). So we are hoping it will happen, but if it doesn't, we are looking at Magic or something else in that demo slot.

Driving 20 pairs of skis across the boarder might cause some suspicion. That and this whole demo thing is still new. Maybe next year we'll try and get up there.

We'll try to make it up to Quebec next season. This is just the start of a lot of demos out east.

And as Bwalmer said, it can be hard to get skis across the border. We were close to getting turned around when we drove to our Whistler demo last year (we had issues getting back into the US too). You just need to have a bunch of customs paperwork all completed claiming what you are bringing in and why, to prove that you aren't trying to sell it without paying taxes, but we've figured out what we need to do in the future so hopefully no more issues when crossing the border.
