I'm an east coast rail rat basically and ski a lot 4 out of 6 pairs of skis I've had had have been armadas they're great durabitily wise but no one i know rides on3ps real aggressively so I don't really know how to compare them. I'm just asking if anyone has had both and can help me out before I spend hundreds of dollars thanks.

I'm pretty sure ON3P edges are made out of diamonds or something. Somehow I carved over a rock and got a core shot but my edges are still mint. Really impressed with the construction.

On3ps are pretty bomber and my kartels had to be the most fun rail ski I've owned. That being said, I'm riding a pair of first gen halos right now that have been through all kinds of shit and are somehow still holding up (barely). With the exception of the price tag tho I'd go for On3ps every time because of how playful they are even in comparison to something like al dentes

ON3P is everything you could ask for in a ski..... They are playful for jibs and super stable on big jumps. The rockered tip and tails make it easy to butter around and rip through fresh snow. Plus the ski is bombproof, my brother and I have had multiple pairs and are still riding on some old blue steeles from 2011. You really can't go wrong with ON3P...

Plus if you have any issues, they have a great customer service team that truly care.

ON3P is just super over hyped IMO. There's probably a reason though. They're graphics also kinda suck, but that's no reason not to buy them.

I like how you get down voted for saying you like more camber.

ON3P does make a good ski. I really like the K106/108 and the Jeffrey 114..

My favorite ski is the Prester - but I was in the minority on that one and no one bought them, so they're "no longer" (the molds still exist, so they can be made, for now at least).

I've got a pair of Filthy Richs that are...4 years old now...beat the hell out of them, no sign of slowing down at all. Just a couple of edge cracks (200+ days of skiing rails will take it's toll on anything eventually), but they're still in place and kickin' hard. There really is a reason everyone who rides them loves them...

Im not sure if the same quality standards are apparent with Amer owning Armada now, but the company was not making the best product for the past few seasons. I saw many Armada's fall apart in weeks. ON3P's are completely different. I'm convinced they make the best quality park ski out there. Ive toured their factory and the quality control is unbelievable. I used a pair of Magnus's too but they are definitely for a certain type of skier. They are for a loose skiing style and they just didn't feel right for what I like. Definitely some great skis though.

Armada designs fit my style of skiing more, so if the quality has changed, I would take them (specifically the Bdog) over ON3P though.

I fuckin love my kartels, even just today i ran over like 10 rocks skiing the backside of the local hill haha. No coreshots, they still look brand new. They ride amazing too. Everything about them is perfect.

If you had the money to buy a Pagani would you buy a Porsche?
