Is there something I'm supposed to know before I get them, like a rallying call every Onèpe skis' owner do on the lift or anything

Thank you for pronouncing it right. Finally someone who realized the 3 was meant to be an E!

Pretty easy to spot Onèpé skiers in the line, y’all’s noses are high in the air

No it’s an E, it’s pronounced “dENO”

Ok so you didn't talk much about your use case or give any specifics but here's my 2 cents since you asked...

The Jeffery is hands down the "do it all" ski of the bunch. I'm going to assume since you're on NS that you ride at least some park. If you do only park, the mango is your ski. But if you do a mix, get a Jeff 102 and mount it -2. It's the do-it-all ski that's wildly fun outside the park but also rips in it. ON3P's differ from more traditional skis in my experience because of a unique combination of LOTS of rocker, but also a fairly stiff ski in comparison to other park or freeride skis. Depending on what you're coming from, you will have to get used to that somewhat but it's a formula that allows the ski to feel super playful and fun, but also hook up really hard when you want to lay it over and rail turns. They are one of the few buttery skis that (imho) truly jump well at high speeds.

Also... Bamboo core = HELLA POP

Hope you are able to get some because I know you'll love them and they will last you a long time my brother mane

I have the Jeffrey 102s mounted -2 from center. They go through everything and are very poppy and fun to charge. They are however fairly stiff, depending on how you like to ski keep in mind that it does take a fair bit of effort to butter them compared to other skis. I am also a skinny piece of shit so maybe it’s user error.
