ON3P dilemma

ON3P makes amazing skis. Period. Durable, usable, fun, stable...etc. and when you buy a pair of skis from them you get the pride of having a pair of skis that came from a down home start up company that manufactures skis by hand in the US. How could it get any better...well...

Has anyone else been having ON3P skis kinda lose their magic for them? It seems like ON3P isn’t a cool brand that only the die hards ride anymore. I’m not bashing the company. Amazing company and Scott is such a rad person. But it seems like the consumer base has changed and it’s made ON3Ps less of a die hard radical ski and more of a Nike hype beast Chad ski. As someone once put it, they’re the official ski of I suck but my gear doesn’t.

Again it doesn’t change what the ski and the company are, but to me it’s changing what they mean. What do y’all think?

Aight listen. Yes I’ve ridden a few pairs. Mag 90, Kartel 108, billy goat. They’re fucking amazing skis, don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying they’re any less cool or core. I’m just saying it’s sad to see so many skiers on Instagram and in person that ride ON3P bc their parents are rich and they need to compensate for their lack of ability with top tier equipment. My mountain hosted a USASA event last season and a whole bunch of kids came up to one of my buddies (riding ON3Ps) and were saying how they were getting a pair bc they saw a Mango edit.

tbh as I continue writing I realize this could be said about most brands. I’m really glad for the success ON3P has had. They deserve every minute of glory. It’s just sad to see a beloved company, one of the raddest of the rad, be subject to the these skis will make people like me meme.

feel free to continue flaming me. I knew I had it coming

So you think average skiers can't have top tier equipment? Thats one of the biggest pieces of bullshit I've seen on this sight.

You care way too much about what other people do and what other people think about yourself. You're sad because people are buyings skis you like? What? Just stop man, you're just diggin' deeper here.

SofaKingSickScott addressed this already, he's planning a purge of their customer base. those deemed unfit for the company's image will be offered a buyback option, but if they refuse, ON3P will show up in a van with guns and repossess the skis by force

SUPER controversial plan of course, but ya gotta do what ya gotta do, i guess


THAT explains what's going on w protesters in Portland!! Feels good to clear that up.

I don’t like the way OP worded things, and based on that I’m assuming I’m not in line with his reasoning either, however, I think he was just trying to say ..
” he misses when On3p was less common and more unique “. ? ? ?

skeirmanThis is why i've considered getting a pair of on3p customs just all black with no branding. I hate labels and branding and all that shit to the point I actually use a seam ripper to remove the labels from all my gear, or in some cases I take a sharpie and try to black labels out.

More young kids buying their skis? Idk, seems to me like theyre doing a good job and getting some loyal customers for life or getting kids stoked on their skis. Nothing wrong with that, literally every kid in the park had Afterbangs or something years ago so its the same shit, different era.

I have seen more "rich dudes" on ON3Ps in my area, but thats even bigger, to have uber wealthy people interested in buying your skis, cuz I had lots of questions about my pairs on chairrides at various mountains.

This. That’s all I’m saying.



still the coolest ski brand out there. Still amazing to their customers. Still amazing skis.

And frankly when I bought my kit this season mag 90s were high on the list. I wouldn’t not buy them bc they’re more common. I just miss how they used to be

I don’t think they are common just for the record. But there was a time when less people knew what they are . Awesome skis. , can’t wait for a model that fits my needs .

Generally the only people I ever see on ON3Ps are like the people straight-lining mogul runs under the chair gapping huge trannys or hitting the sketchiest rails and generally being some of the most fun skiers on the mountain to watch.

The skis might be a bit more common now than like 5 years ago but definitely not seeing a correlation with Jerrys or posers or wannabe scene kids. And even if I did I don’t think that would take away from the fact that they’re rad because the brand is dope and they make bomber fun skis.

I say what up to anyone else I see riding em and pretty much every time they’re chill. Can’t really think of another brand (other than Moment) that people connect over like with ON3P.

Only place I ever see or hear about On3p is here on this forum, very very very few of the park rats and people in general have them here.



there are like 1 or 2 pairs for sale here each year on the used market, which is an indication.

They’re all crusty has been troglodytes who lack the cognitive ability to consider anything outside their little comfy bubble and have been here since before time. Unfortunately it’s the 10% that have the most time to waste replying to dead threads and getting triggered like the cry babies they are, and therefore have the most content on this site. That’s why NSers is dying. But what would NSers be without them? It would be r/skiing and it would be lame af

Better to try n be cool and fail than to be a liar, not everyone has to think the same.



GTR you can say dumb shit, you can make mistakes, you can think differently than the rest of us, we’re all dissimilar yet familiar bc we’re tied in by our passion, diversity is what makes NS cool and you’ll be more accepted if ya just say or act like awww I fucked up and move on.

Idk about the east coast, but where there are real mountains anyone I've met who rides ON3P rips. Sure lots of people got into the game later, but I'm glad to not be the only person riding them anymore. I think it's a great sign too that their demographic is changing. I've seen more and more old dudes riding them and super stoked on skiing.

ON3P has had a pretty strong following on TGR since the beginning with the Wren, and Billygoat and the Woodsman was pretty much driven by demand over there for something between the Jeffery and the Wren. Along with other special editions like the Supergoat. There is a thread over 400 pages dedicated to ON3P.

Honestly why do people overanalyze shit like this so much. To me, a ski is a ski, whoever designed and sold it is almost irrelevant compared to how it actually looks and performs.

Jerry’s Rick everything out here
I’ve seen
Jeffreys, nomad 105s, soul 7s , bc120 and even a Corvus On hardpack groomers, Corvus worst of all, there are no slopes steep enough for that ski where I was, and a guy on bc120s was a def Jerry skiing on an ice rain day, and not enough snow to need more than 90 underfoot tho I’ve ridden low 100s consistently.
I’ve seen park gapers on on3ps as well.

I don’t have a problem with what ya ride, I don’t thin it necessary for any ski to stay within a certain demographic but certain skis are meant for certain conditions so buy a ski for you and what you do not for the hype and vibe.
