Are ON3P skis worth the money?

It’s cheaper to buy 1 pair of magnuses than 2 pairs of honey badgers. Just don’t run them into a ditch or some shit

depends on how you ski. If you haven't been trashing your lines then you could stick to them, but if you want higher quality and more durable ski, go with on3p.

Look on buy/sell they have some like brand new for cheaper

any other skis will be worth it so long as you take care of them, but yeah ive been pretty happy with my ski purchases from them as of late. while expensive, its still good to put money into the industry through companies who care about skiing.

I think it's really not worth it for the price I switched through 2 pairs and he already had 2/3 edge crake after a 2/3 month and I'm not an aggressive skier I love the brand but durability is a real problem ( that my personnel opinion take it or leave it)

The problem is people expect skis to hold up to abuse on rails. Granted ON3Ps will last longer than lines or other companies while still hitting rails, they will still deteriorate.

I have some 2014 caylors that are still going strong (no edge cracks, no delam, bases are still great). They see the occasional rail but i definitely dont take them to the park all day.

So my two cents is..... If youre gonna buy something that you will take care of and not abuse extensively on rails, ON3Ps are definitely worth the money. I love the beef of their skis and they use the best materials around.

Yes.

They just break really fast... but skiis are awesome :)

yo i heard theres this new company called REVISION, they have an impact warranty for rails and are also super affordable. You should check them out.

you could buy two pairs of arv96s, line chronics, k2 poachers, or faction prodigy 1.0s for about the same price (sometimes even less). park skis are skateboards, i've never understood shelling out $700 for something to beat on metal/wood/concrete. it makes sense for a pow/all mountain ski but imo you could spend money in a wiser way on park skis

Not at full price. If you're willing to buy last season's skis, you can get an Edollo or Poacher on sale for $400. Often, all the manufacturer changes from one year to the next is the graphic. Is a $700 ON3P going to be 75% better than an Edollo?

Having ridden multiple pairs of ON3P's over the years (Kartel's/Jeffrey's) for mostly park skiing I can absolutely say they're absolutely worth the money. Scott and the guys at ON3P do a fantastic job and make an awesome product. Nothing against Line skis but I stand behind ON3P and the products they are making.

I can't imagine paying full price for any ski, not when there are always so many great skis on discount.

I partially can agree with this statement about such a wide price gap and finding sales however you're trying to compare skis with different components, flex patterns, rocker, and base thickness to name a few. They're totally different skis.

**fan boy alert**

Let's also address that Edollos are $600 on Evo and Magnuses are $700. As you said previous year models of edollos are possible (which I agree and actually was the reason I bought ARVs one year instead of a higher end ski) but yeah not on3p, for good reason. But sticker prices are not much difference especially considering on3p has a spring sale for $200 off remaining skis; sign up for email list and it's possible to find a good deal. Also it's not uncommon to find great condition on3ps in BST/tgr/ebay for a decent price WITH bindings. There's a reason on3p skis don't go on sale as frequently as armadas, line, etc and we all know it.

The problem I continually see on here is people expect skis to stand up to repeated abuse on rails or pavement. I'm 99.9% sure manufacturers get their edges from a small handful of manufacturers so it's not like one company has some proprietary steel edge or something. On3p bases are meaty thick. Armada, I have no clue about the Edollo but their other skis definitely don't compare in base thickness. The same goes for most high volume commercial brands like LINE. Their construction just isn't as beefy or labor intensive as some of the indie brands. Still great skis though.

The other elephant in the room is ON3P warranty and customer service is light-years from anything Armada or Line can ever dream of being simply due to their business model. That imo is what really sold me on their skis. They're uber responsive as a brand, especially on here. Then when I bought a pair, I realized the hype was real in terms of performance and feel. Bamboo is tits. I have Wrenegades and Jeffrey/Kartel, but people only sing praises about the magnus.

I guess op the question comes down to your riding style, and where and what you're trying to ski. How long do skis normally last you? Both are good skis and line also has decent skis. IF price is your only qualm but the on3p checks all other boxes BETTER then go for it. If your needs and research have you equal with another ski, then post up the ones you're looking at and have some people provide detailed suggestions. Definitely check out roofbox and blister reviews on the skis.

If you're really only interested in on3p because of the hype, then I would do further research to figure out what ski suits you best in this class. If you're coming from Line skis they might feel more at home for you. Maybe magnus will fill a void you're missing. Maybe edollos or some other ski will be a great middle ground. Just some questions to ask yourself. I'm assuming you already did research so yes final answer is yes they're worth the money.

I would never pay sticker price for skis. Paying sticker price is for people with too much money. I can find 2020 Edollos for $419.97 in a size I want with free shipping. I don't get the latest graphics, but so what. They've still never been skied before and are in factory condition.

Guy_SkiI was looking to get a pair of magnus skis but the price seemed a bit steep comparison to line which is the route I normally go, is it worth the extra money?

Absolutely, and made in Oregon, not China!
