Ok I get it there good quality, made in the USA blah blah blah, and don’t get me wrong Jake mageau and Oscar weary are sick but where’s the pro model park ski to carry this company. After Magnus pro model left it’s never been the same company. Don’t even get me started on Meeks. Not even hating just genuinely pissed one of my favourite ski company’s take a couple steps backwards in their growth.
absolutely yes they’re overhyped: but they’re still great skis
i think there’s some kind of pretentious attitude surrounding people skiing on3ps and i’m not for it. i own 2 pairs (mag 90 and jeff 108) and can confidently say they’re not as amazing as everyone says they are. the durability isn’t as amazing as everyone says either. when magnus blew up so did the reputation of on3p, once he left the hype did too. but to be honest i think that’s a great thing that on3p can now be treated as a normal ski company and not a “omg you can’t 2p2 or cork 7 and you’re riding magnus 102s what a loser” company.
also overpriced ass skis sorry y’all but seriously what a rip off…. my magnus 90s brand new we’re $550 and now 102s are like $800 or $850?
whack take ON3P feels like theyre only gaining momentum. especially in the mdiwest and especially with all the crazy good younger riders theyve got lately. Doca, Ryan Buttars, Lobo, Drew, etc. Plus those Alta skiers I always see on em sending stupid shit.
eheathedges don't last on any ski if you're actually sliding a ton of rails
exactly people dick ride on3ps durability but probably either suck at skiing park or barely ride rails. aside from that their sidewalls and bases and indestructible if you’re interested in skiing until they can’t anymore.

im just sayin its a bad take to compare durability at all, all park skis break and there will never be a park ski that doesnt break
eheaththis is anecdotal and means almost nothing man, all skis break
One data point means nothing. A collection of data points starts to become a significant trend.
My moment wildcats have survived 150+ ski days full of intense abuse with nearly nothing to show for it. I have broken two pairs of line skis in a combined 15 ski days. Minimal rails on all 3.
My armada park skis are real beat at ~40 days but they see rails so its apples to oranges.
J_SteezSo you're saying revision skis for example are as durable as K2s lol?
all skis break when you slam them on rails, eject out at high speeds, smash the tips into shit, etc i dont care what brand, they all break ive seen every single ski brand have issues with durablity.

they all break. some companies make more durable skis that last longer though. that is essentially like saying "everyone dies", yes, but some people live longer due to their overall health and well-being.
TemetiusDo you think there is no difference in durability just because all skis break?
the point is that you shouldn't be worried about durability when you're skiing park, your skis will break down you're using them in a way that skis are not suppose to be used.
its like saying one skateboard is more durable than another, they're all a plank of wood being slammed into concrete and metal.

see that's the thing, your false sense of "more durable skis" is anecdotal and simply not true. I have seen 100x more skiers and 100x more skis break than you, my opinion is still anecdotal too but objectively all skis break when you ski park.
now if you wanted to talk about using skis in the proper way a ski is going to be used, durability could be very different between a cheap ski and an expensive ski (or not) but when you add the variable of park skiing, the equation breaks.
side note, your comparison is terrible but whatever, im not trying to prove anything other than the fact that its stupid to argue about durability of skis when you're slamming them onto metal for 4-6 hours a day.

J_Steezcongrats on seeing so many skis break homie
ive seen every brand break and every time its after not a lot of days or abuse....
since you're trying to hard to argue with me instead of considering the situation, let me break it down for you. your experience with one ski vs another ski is far different than others experiences. I only make these statements because yes I have seen alot of skis break homie and any ski can break earlier than it should, it happens all the time to every ski brand that makes park skis. again, im not trying to argue with you, im trying to help you understand.
Out of all the skis I've ridden, my mag 102s have lasted the longest AND I'm able to rip them out of the park. I only see more and more people at my local with the new mangos. The meeks pro model is a mag 102 so they never rlly went away, the mango seems rlly similar. Are the mangos not a park ski to carry to company? Not to mention the sick ass content that ON3P puts out, its just getting good.
never had a park ski last more than one season (60ish days) without breaking until I bought ON3Ps. This is my 3rd season on my magnus 90s and they have two edge cracks, over 150 days hitting rails aggressively. Don't know what hype you are searching for but I personally dont see any other ski lasting nearly as long and I dont think the company has lost any momentum. Big shoutout to Scott and ON3P, yall are the best

Idk dude I hit a shit ton of rails and have only destroyed one pair in the past decade, I have no idea how people blow thru skis the way they do

You have the lucky touch, some people just don’t run through edge.
I’ve always been a pair of park skis a season (which was a stretch when that was 75% of my season about 60-70 days)
I usually wouldn't support a company based in Portland since I want that shithole to burn to the ground but I make an exception for ON3P. They make good skis. I just cover mine in MAGA stickers and roll coal in the parking lot to offset my support of a liberal organization.

Yeah I got no idea how people do that, I’ve had 4 pairs of skis in the past 9ish years and all of them are mounted and mint minus like topsheet damage and the bases getting all brown from hitting rails lol
Poor take, on3p is only picking up steam. Durability is great neglecting edge durability (all companies’ edge durability is exact same). They seem to be supporting younger / lesser known riders more and more as well.
@Jems your price point argument is valid but you can still get the skis for cheap thru factory finds. Hell my one buddy even bought a pair of 181 mango 100s a few weeks ago, hit em up on the gram to see if he could get a discount, and they gave him a $250 off code.
I’m dumb for buying mine at full price when I could have asked for some kind of discount code or any blemished pairs for cheap.
I've seen pairs of them everywhere, even in the Canadian Maritimes which many people don't seem to realize exist let alone that people ski there. So they are fairly well known
Jemsmaybe their topsheets but they lose edge just as fast as any other higher quality ski. my jets have lasted longer than my mags did edge wise.
Totally agree
eheathim just sayin its a bad take to compare durability at all, all park skis break and there will never be a park ski that doesnt break
Just because all edges get fucked on rails doesnt mean you shouldn’t care about durability. I like feeling confident that my skis aren’t gonna delam when I slam (bars). Its the same reason why I buy a 16 din binding. I don’t need it, I just like the confidence that an all metal binding offers.
Also when my edges break on my ON3Ps im gonna gonna fix them, it isn’t that hard to replace an edge if you have any type of mechanical skills.
All skis break when skiing park, but saying all durability is the same is dumb. I always ride my skis until the cores won't hold bindings or they snap. Some skis definitely fall apart faster than others. When you have zero edge cracks but the edge is pulled out from tip to tail on both skis after 3 days, that's a durability issue.

Every ski company will have a bad egg for sure, but poachers on average will take more abuse than some faction prodigies on average. Skis will always break earlier than they should, especially in park, but some will typically last longer than others.
