SlunkyNot graphics but supposedly new shapes
-eREKTion-New shape is the Woodsman, a Kartel/Wren hybrid (sort of). Think progressive mount Wren with a bit more tail rocker, longer edge than the Kartel. Also, metal Wrens for 2020. Don't know if there's any changes to the existing line.

Vinny142190+ length hopefully?
-eREKTion-Scott confirmed 192.

Chubz.This must’ve been what rudygarmish was referring to in my thread comparing the kartels to other skis, very interested to hear more about these, and also to see what’s replacing the kartel if it’s more than just a name change.
Was on3p not at the trade shows this year? Interesting that they’re keeping kinda quiet compared to past years
SlunkyOn3p runs on their own release schedule and doesn’t do the trade shows.
Also id be surprised if they change the kartel itself given its such a bomb ski but idk I wouldn’t be surprised to see a name change

CLQScott has confirmed there will be a name change.
I think I remember hearing rumors of a prototype swallowtail, I wonder if that has made it through.
Chubz.They used to be at sia every year that’s why I asked.

AltaBuseFWIW guy on TGR gear rumor thread who tested the Woodsman said it skis like a more fun and versatile k2 Mindbender 108.

LukewtDoes this mean less chargey/capable at speed?
AltaBuseHaven't skied the Mindbender, but I skied the Woodsman 108 @187 a few days ago at Alta demo day.... It skis like a more playful/intuitive/easy-to-turn Wrenegade, definitely more chargy than my 191 Kartels. TBH, I loved it.

LukewtWhat was the flex pattern like?
I have a ton of questions about this ski cause I'm looking for a charger that I can let run and be stable, but still be able to be playful when I want to. I'm really interested in the mindbenders, but the mount/build is a little traditional for me. I have a pair of k116s for my powder skis and I love them, so naturally when I heard about a new on3p ski that was more directional that the Kartels, but not as "one dimensional" (for lack of a better term) than the wrens my interest was peaked. I really am just hoping they would be able to handle a big guy (6'3", 210) pushing them hard every now and then without a lot of loss in stability.
AltaOmegaFlex and stability is closer to the Wren than the Kartel, 10 underfoot, reaching 7.5-8 as it went out to the tips and tails... felt very balanced on the snow while having a bit more pop/rebound than the Wren. The shape had more sidecut and less effective edge than the Wren which made it more nimble and pivotable in tight spots... I think it would fit what you're describing pretty well, I'm 6'4 240lbs and the 187 held it own at pretty high speeds while being more fun, accessible, and versatile. I think bumping up to the 192 would make for one hell of a playful charger...

Crispy.Drop a graphic of the 2020 Jeffrey 98?? :)
Chubz.What are the black and yellow skis hackle and Meeks have been riding?
Is the Jeffery replacing the kartel or is that where the woodman comes in?
So many questions!!! I mentioned in another thread how I thought this years graphics looked kinda bland but I take that back, great as always. 😎
So torn between a magnus 102 and Jeffery/woodman 108 for all mountain jibbing/ripping.
Probably gonna pick up a pair of 116 sticks as well for powdays out west next year.
