Is On3p worth the hype?

I ride park and I’ve been really looking into On3p skis, but their kind of expensive and I heard their warranty isn’t the best, do you think it’s worth getting a pair???

Yes, I’ve been skiing the magnus 90 since November and they’re my favorite ski I’ve ever skied. Not only do they perform well in the park, they charge through crud like a beast. They’re also nice on the moguls. They carve pretty good too.

From my experience, their warranty is the best. I was very well taken care of when I had an issue. I've also seen them do cool non-warranty customer service things like send out a square of base material to patch a core shot

I buy a lot of skis, and have pretty much every brand, recently bought my first on3p's Ive been putting it off as for me with my currency they are more expensive than a pair of black crows with pivots! and.. well I honestly don't pay retail usually some prodeal or this and that to be had. this is the first skis I've paid retail for.... in at least 15 years.



I have to say they are very well made, all edges chamferd on topsheet, bases waxd & flat, no high spots, no lows. since I orderd the magnus 102 they also prepped all the edges to avoid edge cracks, looks to be done very well, not just attacking it with a file at random, but you see the underfoot area is done right etc.



Weight difference between skis were what... 11 grams?! for a custom low volume product that is pretty damn amazing.



They do like to put pics up of their mfg on facebook feed when you follow them, which I really do like, they seem to be very proud of their production, and it shows in the products.

I just mentioned it because of that thread awhile ago where some kid basically skied his on3ps into a dirt wall and tried to come here and say he hit a little dip and they broke (if someone knows how to find this thread please link, I can’t find it)

Here's still on here from time to time @lil.Boye I think he's reconciled with it all btw. Was an epic thread though...

And op yeah. They're amazing. Don't get me wrong, there's other brands that can compete with quality and service but I'm stuck on on3p thanks to ns. Seeing the warranty and non-warranty customer service displayed on this site is impeccable and is second to none. Hype isn't created from nothing. Having a line to communicate with the original founders and builders of the skis versus some rando in customer service is a pretty big perk. Knowledgeable responses.


Funny story:
Was skiing and some guy guy goes "Hey those are good skis"... My immediate response without thinking: "I know"...

as being the idiot that made a whiney thread about my on3ps breaking, i think their skis are sorta bombproof. skiing some older kartel 108 i couldn't trust them more. i was unlucky that one time.

warranty isn't bad. scott was probably just not wanting to give me a ski at first since i was a dickwad. i did get a ski though, and scott have been the best to me afterwards too. great company to support!

I'm prlly gunna be the only one to say that I prefer some of my other skis (line opus, rossi black ops) to the Jeffery 116's or the 108's. Also did not enjoy the billy goats. Granted I only had a day on each and they were practically brand new and not broken in. Too stiff and not damp enough.

when I visited the factory they were putting in a new chunk of base material for someone who blew out an edge on a rail or rock(non-warranty)

Got a pair of Magnus 102s, skied them three days and by far the best ski I’ve had. Carves better and butters better then my edollos. Top sheets seem way more durable due to the beveled side wall, rail detune was professional. Definitely pricey, I payed under retail for them this fall, but where I stand now I would’ve definitely bought them full price. I don’t want to ski anything else.

awesome skis and some of the best customer service out there honestly. they totally didnt even need to but they re-processed my order that was like a day or two late on missing the deadline for a sale and credited me back the difference, and it was for a pair of skis that i was getting to replace a pair of skis that got stolen so they'll always have a fan in me lol

They are built well I can’t deny that! They took a bit of getting used to at first I wasn’t sold. But after a few days and some fresh snow I have come to really enjoy them. Deep rocker lines and what feels like a small sweet spot keeps things on your toes, atleast on the Jeffery 108. But they are rewarding skis when you let them run.

I have 2 pair of ON3P skis from 2009 that I still ride. They just last forever, and I've found the edges hold up way longer on rails than other skis I've owned (but good luck getting a decade out of a park ski in any circumstance).

If you have the money, yes. Been skiing 100+ days this season on the kartel 108 and they are the prefect killing machine for every condition. And for me being a rail rat and a chargey pow skier they do both. I have had no durability issues yet. I would recomend on3p if you want a ski that Is fun and chargey at high speeds and playful at slow speed jibs. Love them to death. Dreaming of buying the mags 102 some time in the future

on3p makes good skis as long as you choose them appropriately. Their warranty policy is really good.

The 108 is literally a quiver destroyer. No matter what ski I started the day on this year I always finished on the 108.

I have the 96 and will be adding the 108 shortly, I almost pulled the trigger the other day but wanna hold out for the new graphics and hope there’s no big change.

Yes. I ride my Jeffrey 108s every opportunity I get, even on days of straight ice. Durability has been great on mine, but, to be fair (cue Letterkenny bit), I am a little timid with them since they're such nice (and expensive) skis.

Also, green bases and tons of tip and tail rocker add style points. Plus, they're American made if that makes a difference to you.

If on3ps cost 300-400$ i would say they are worth it, but at 700-800$ they simply are not worth it.



you get alot more value per dollar from other brands.

for 800$ a ski should be comprehensively indestructible, and on3ps are very easy to destroy, at least by the look of internet comments.

As someone who paid $450 for wrenegade 96's, I would have no issues paying $700 for brand new on3ps. 40 days on them and they're beautiful especially considering probably 10-15 of those days have been "low coverage" conditions riddled with rocks. Their bases aren't unique for durability since pretty sure other manufacturers use durasurf but it's certainly durable and ultra thick. I literally have no clue how I haven't gotten a coreshot yet. So many days I expected to have to repair, only to find a slight scratch or nothing but burred edges. Edges are thicker as well as top sheets and sidewalls are beefy. Love the stiffness and confidence they provide at speed and in sketchy lines and in the air. The excessive rocker makes them perform amazingly in fresh snow and their dampness makes them awesome in chop. Not for everyone but I love em.

Other brands with similar company structure and construction are priced similarly.

Tldr: if you can afford it, they're definitely worth the value. They're not a golden goose but certainly a badass ski performance and asthetically wise.

They really are. God I see them everywhere. They’ve got cult followings in aus and Finland too where they are difficult to get. I’m honestly falling for the ON3P hype train a little lately but I’ve never ridden them and I have skis with similarities so it makes no sense at all for me. But maybe one day
DeebieSkeebiesi love how they're kinda blowing up too. i went to deer valley last winter with my parents and saw a few pairs being donned by uber rich dudes. its cool to see a brand like that reach all types of skiers i guess.

They have blems which are $499 which I think is a killer deal.
