So I've been growing out of my skis for the past 4 years and I'm finally gonna get a good pair of skis that I won't grow out of so i don't have to worry about buying a $700 pair of skis and growing out of them the next year. IVe been looking at the ON3P eh customs. Which model is best? Kartels look like they can go everywhere. I ski 60% park and 40% exploring the whole mtn (like an all mtn park) any other ski suggestions are good. Looking anything under 800

Kartel 106's....haven't ridden them personally but for an all mountain ski width seems right plus they get amazing reviews on here. Use the searchbar.

Yo man, I have the Kartel 106 and love them. Really good all mtn park ski. I will say if you're skiing more park than all mtn then go with the Kartel 98.

Best ski ever you'll love them

I'm from Banff, I own the 114 Jeffrey and love it. My next ski is def a kartel but for this area I would go with the 106 so I have the ability at better riding in a bit deeper of conditions.

Unless you want to spin 720's or more then I would go 98. That's just personally though. You can still have fun in the park with 106, I take my 114 Jeffrey into the park and I've seen guys spinning flips and whatever on Jeffrey's so you can def do that on the 106 kartels.

Just something to think about. Would you rather spin a lot while in the park or have more fun on side / back door.

I honestly think whatever you get you will love both.

Agreed. With that much park in the mix, you'll appreciate just a little less ski.

Let me know if you've got any other questions.

I'd say Kartel 98. My friend uses them as an everyday ski in Alaska and says they perform amazing.
