not an owned but the shop i work at demos them so ive ridden them like 5-6 times. for what they are, the kartels are up there with the best fasho. i wouldnt buy them for myself because i like a pretty damn stiff ski, but for an buttery super playful every day all mountain jib ski these are the best of the best, honestly they kill it in every condition for sure and they turn the mountain into a park. id ride them like 2-3cms back and if i was in the market for a playful everyday vermont ski i would 100% be on a kartel. not to mention that they are featured in the custom topsheet thing kartels with the thanks obama graphic or wood veneer would be a babe of a ski fasho

Thanks! I may be in that market, depending on some news I get in the near future.

I've got 98's but I can say the Kartels are the best skis I have ever owned. Their profile is perfect, their flex is perfect, their construction is perfect, their graphics are perfect, their weight is perfect. I wish I had gotten the 106's though.

Here's the review page on them, they're probably my favorite ski out there right now: https://www.newschoolers.com/reviews/2798/Kartel-106

I have the 106s with Jesters. My last pair were shit line chronics.

These ON3Ps are fantastic! They're stiff but because of that, they plow through the crud like nothing else. They're super fast, poppy, stable and reliable.

Also, ON3P rushed my skis to me so I could get them in time for my trip. Super sick dudes!

Personally, I'd mount them back, these skis are too good for center.

10/10 would recommend to a friend!

Im excited for mine this year. I demo'd them for 3 days and knew I wanted a pair. They really can do just about everything at a high level, and I expect this ski to be my everyday driver all the way up to 6+ inches of new snow. My favorite thing about them is how fast you can shut the ski down. You can be hauling ass and just slide the tails out effortlessly to scrub speed. Makes it so you can pretty much ski as fast as you want.
