JakeBondyHey guys wanna pull the trigger on Kartel 108s in a 181 so badly just dont know if they will be to soft
im 5,10 and 145lbs and like to charge Whistler BC should I go stiffer carbon?
Nah, you may ski aggressive but you're pretty light. The Kartels will be plenty stable without the added carbon.
Not a production ski. One of two custom pairs we are making for someone whose name if we dropped in here, no one would believe. I still cannot believe who they are going to, to be honest. Definitely one of the cooler opportunities I’ve had since we got going. We are not really sure what we can say about them right now, so I will have to just leave it at that.

Would it happen to be someone on the cast of black panther? That would be sick tbh.
It's my 36th season in Jackson & I'm sold on the Kartel 108 after demoing many skis Except the Kartel 108. I want to order tomorrow...I vowed to never buy a ski without testing it first.. The closest hill is Big Sky 3.5 hrs North w/ out storms( or Pass Closure). Please ON3P get someone/fleet ur skis in Jackson. I've met 4 people all w/ Kartel's 108's this season & they all loved them & never skied them before buying.. That says it all! One guy said it was too stiff. I'm old school now 55yrs old, Tele skied Jackson & Backcountry big in the 80's & 90's. No more jumps for me but my 1st love is Pow//Trees//Moguls/Steeps at times & then GS & Short pop turns to get down groomers when I have too. In that Order. I'm 5'11"+ and 185lbs. Expert. I've read the debate about length.. So I'm asking because I haven't tested the Kartel 108 yet should I go with the 186cm or 181cm? I'm looking to make my life on skis easier without sacrificing performance.. My current skis are (Wolf)Armada JJ's 185cm(My Powder Joy) & Rossi Soul 7 first year '13/'14 size 188cm.They ski short but love them too. I'm looking to replace the Soul 7 as my everyday ski up to 10" Pow. Don't want anything wider than 108 as I have my JJ's for that. Swing weight which very people discuss here also important. I can shred my 188cm Soul 7's on anything even small chutes(a bit tight in trees at times just have to try harder) amazing on moguls surprisingly for length (but as I see things it's more the skier than the ski.). 186cm or 181cm? Really 2" make a difference? I heard ON3P ski true to size.. Please offer your thoughts. Enjoy...

I would call or e-mail the shop. I'm tempted to say 186 because of where you ski, but seeing your current quiver I want to say 181.
The 186 will be longer than anything you currently own.

Damn, I was gonna make a guess they were Jordan a while back. The Black Cat Jordan 13swere my clue, but I wasn’t sure so didn’t wanna say something. But, this seems to add to my suspicion that they were for him. The logo is obviously a bit off, so I wasn’t sure...
If they are for Jordan, that’s pretty awesome!

Wow excellent sleuthing my guy, that's actually fucking awesome how u figured it out or at least have the best educated guess.
The possibility that it's ON3P that's making MJ custom skis and not anyone else says a lot about the quality and how awesome they are as a company lol.
Demo runs were limited as the upper mountain lift had shut down unexpectedly.
But, in short it is a fucking beast, although tameable. Definitely sought fall line destruction at speed before it truly came alive, but if a tank could be thrown sideways at speed, it's probably a W114 in disguise.
