ON3P Longevity

I have the 96 from a few years ago, absolutely love them for ripping all mtn and are ok on rails. If you aren’t going to be lapping the park all day I think they’re a super solid choice. Mine are still in amazing condition after 4 seasons

On3p have an interesting almost addicting feel. Idk if the woodsman is the same but i expect so. They feel burly and ready for war. My last pair died after three seasons in my care, but was skied for three seasons before i got them as well. So i must say, solid skis, just be careful around ditches..

If you don’t ride park and don’t let any water into the core they’ll last forever.

Why ditches?

One of the best quality built skis you can buy on the market. Plus their warranty is above most others.

Your bindings will break before the skis do.

I’m proud of you, yer growing up 🥹🥹🥹

Hey now. Just because I’m a moment fanboi I’ve never denied other quality brands.

webuhWhy ditches?

Lol, it’s a long story. Basically i was unlucky skied into a ditch and broke my on3ps. Made a thread, it blew up and i got mega bullied for a while. Pretty funny now though.

i have a friend who skied into a stream a few years ago. he flew out of his bindings like 10 feet into the groomed run. thankfully they were rental skis lmao

Lolol, shit happens. I have broken several skis myself, but the on3ps were brand new. It was a shit show. Super thankfull for scott at on3p for helping me out. I grew a lot from that experience.

Wait a second? lol

Rly wish the ditch thread was never deleted

hi_vis360Rly wish the ditch thread was never deleted

I’m pretty sure I didn’t even get to see it :/

Every ON3P I’ve seen is mounted with pivots.

is there a correlation there?

…overhyped skis get paired with overhyped bindings…? 🤔

Ok Jim Apple.

Maybe because people who care about longevity, build quality, and performance about their skis also care about longevity, build quality, and performance of their bindings?

Also, this could explain some of it too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_illusion

Homie is a textbook definition of confirmation bias. Wants to believe so badly that premium ski brands are overhyped garbage he twists every comment/opinion about something remotely related to match his own opinion

Let me first start by saying that I think the best ski for you is more of Jeffery than a Woodsman if it's your only ski and you hit any park. The Jeff is literally the do it all ski. Jeff 100 will charge anything you want. The Woodsman is slightly stiffer and has a slightly shorter radius. The Jeffery will ski switch much better and I haven't had any issues holding an edge at any speed I have been able to achieve. That being said, the Jeff 92 would be closer to your original thought of a Woodsman 92.

Secondly, I historically was on K2's and Armada's. I was going through 3 pairs a season until I switched over to ON3P's. I've been on them now for 7-8 years and haven't looked back. Their edges, glue, sidewall, core, etc is all extremely high quality. They build skis in a way that major manufacturers literally cannot. Their margins are also so much lower than big ski companies because of how much their materials and labor costs to make each ski. That's great news for us as the consumer. I also love how I can order any franken-ski that I want. I can order touring or hybrid touring layups in any ski shape with different flex and whatever graphics I want.

Lastly I would like to add that every ski that will ever be created will eventually break down and fail. From all of my experience and what I have learned over the years... ON3P has consistently been the strongest skis that I have seen on the market. I've skied 100+ days on midwest tow ropes/rails, slammed into rocks, logs, trees, skied powder, groomers, jumped off cliffs, etc. They have just held up so well for me and everyone I have known who has had a pair. On top of all that, it's an American company employing a bunch of cool dudes who just love to ski and get to make a living on producing what I think are the best skis money can buy.

most of my skiing is currently on groomers (its NE tho so theres lots of ice), but I love to hit glades when I can, and im working on some more park skills. I also love hitting rollers and side hits on groomers. Obviously the Jeff would be superior to the Woodsman in the park, but for the other things, would it hold up? also how well will it do at high speeds (40mph+)

if I were to go with the woodsman, would it still be fun/easy with the occasional park lap, jibbing, and buttering?

Yeah I've done 60+mph on the Jeff's and it's fine. It's really not a soft ski, but the rocker profile allows it to be playful. Side hits and rollers are sort of what the Jeff shines at. Neither ski is a bad choice, I just think the Jeff would fit you better. The woodsman is a directional ski for the most part. You wouldn't want to ski that thing switch very much.

They are def good to go for an occasional lap. The Jeff is for sure more versatile though and I’m probably going to replace my woodsmans with jeff 92, because I want lower swing weight. I’d say if swing weight really matters to you for spinning on rails go with the Jeff’s, but if you’re just cruising and doing the occasional 3 the woodsmans are completely fine, and they would do better in the trees
