Surface odysseys

I had a pair from a few years ago. They have a 2x4 flex pattern, as in they don't really flex at all.

Same experience

Have you got any on-snow time with them yet? Also interested in them cause they are so darn cheap. What length did you get? I found them to come in sizes that are too short or too big...I'm 5'7", 145lbs.

Ive ridden them a lot, i actually bought two pairs because they were so cheap 200$ i figured why not. I like the ski alot, a little to stiff for my liking but really fun. Id be willing to sell you my second pair, still in the wrap, its a 173. I am 140 and 5 6 and they work great

Just a bump on this thread.

If anyone had skied the Odyssey/One Time, share your experience and review. There is not much information online about this interesting rocker skis.

TLDR - some blokes love them, some blokes hate them

One Lifes and Odysseys are different skis. I liked the one lifes a lot more, they weren't as stiff and dead feeling as the odysseys and they have the full sized rocker. The odysseys don't have as much rocker

I mean I wanted some reviews of the Odyssey specifically since it has a different rocker, dare I say "all mountain" rocker. I think the One Time is basically the Odyssey, but the dimension is very slightly different under foot (95mm vs 96mm). The One Time came out years ago when rocker skis are more of a niche. Also wondering if the "carbon stringers" means anything than just marketing (maybe this is why people say the skis is stiff like a 2x4?). I demoed a pair of Icelantic Nomad 105 earlier this year, and I found them pretty stiff. I used to LOVE softer skis, but after riding the Nomad 105, really like the stiffness when riding out west like Revey.

In essence I just wanted an update review now that rocker skis are the norm, curious how the Odyssey stand up to bigger name skis since they are dirt cheap. I am surprised there are not much information about them since they go on fire sale every year...
