I’m tired of cheaply made skis, I want to buy a more handmade or smaller brand of ski. I already have an all mountain ski and I need this one primarily for park. I ski 50% jumps and 50% rails. Also, on the mountain I ski 99% park and probably 1% all mountain. I was thinking about on3p’s, Vishnus, or surfaces since I’ve heard good things about them. Any recommendations?
ON3P if you are looking for a good sturdy strong ski, they hold up well and charge hard. I have a pair I’ve been riding all season with only two edge cracks. The mango is a fun playful park ski. They definitely are on the heavier end of the park ski spectrum so if you want light buttery skis you would probably like the VISHNU more. Never ridden the VISHNUs but have also never heard anything bad about them.
Vishnus get pretty beat pretty easily but are still very ridable even with many edge cracks/ missing edges. also they are one of the few brands to warranty park damage and their skis are also the funnest skis I've ever ridden.

ON3P is the most durable ski in the industry in my opinion. I don't own a pair right now but I wish I did. I would do unholy things for a fresh pair of mangos
I have Vishnu key they are fun i got some core shots tho from rocks in the landing at a sidehit in Nordkette and my friends with other skis didnt get it from the same landing but maybe I was unlucky idk
Don’t buy Vishnu they suck, on3p is ok I guess but not my cup of tea, surface is good but haven’t found a ski I really like. Icelantic is where it’s at tho, 3 year warranty no questions asked is a pretty baller too. That’s just my opinion tho
I’ve had Vishnu and Surface and love them both but quality is where it lacks in my opinion. Get 0n3p if you want to keep them a few years. Get surface or Vishnu if you’re rich and jibby and don’t care about blowing through skis fast
SweetishFishVishnus get pretty beat pretty easily but are still very ridable even with many edge cracks/ missing edges. also they are one of the few brands to warranty park damage and their skis are also the funnest skis I've ever ridden.

Emmet does not give a shit about warranty, unless it’s a factory defect he’ll tell you to fuck off and cry about it
