ON3P Woodsman 108

I just wanted to give ON3P some love after riding my new skis for the first time last night in absolute garbage conditions at skibowl.


They felt like I was gliding on air. It was like having a magic platform in front of me that I could push into full speed or stand up and dance around on. I can’t even describe how fun they are to ski compared to my 2013 Salomon Rocker2s I’ve been skiing since I started 4 years ago. I don’t know if all high end skis are this fun or if Wy’East comes down and blesses these skis especially for riding on Mt. Hood, but that was the most fun I’ve had skiing in my entire life. Can’t wait to go ski some more ice tomorrow!

I mounted them on the line so they are about -6, but I’ll lap the rope tow a few times tomorrow at skibowl and see how they feel on rails. They’re definitely the longest ski I’ve ever owned so I’ll probably keep things pretty chill, but I’ve also never been as confident skiing switch as I am on this ski.

Oh yeah ones and threes feel really good, and it might just be how long the ski is compared to my old ones, but I feel like I can land everything even in terrible conditions.

Having skied almost every 108 freeride ski out there, I honestly think the woodsman 108 is the best version.

It can charge hard, but is still quick and playful. Fucking sick ski

As an owner of both the Jeffrey 114 and Wrenegade 114, I will 100% be buying the Woodsman 108 next.
