This wasn't exactly a hard one to predict, but as of today, Alex Hackel is officially riding for ON3P Skis. Sure, he's been on the skis solidly since his trip to Zermatt last summer but sometimes these things take a bit of time to work out. We reached out to Alex to...
Perhaps my biggest goal since joining Newschoolers (there are a couple of other big ones too), has been to make sure that all our gear coverage is honest, in-depth, and open to all brands, big or small. That is what we strive for with our Roofbox Reviews and our Editors' Picks, and I think we're...

Newschoolers' Review:
The Wrenegade 96 is a perfect daily driver for the skier who likes to charge hard through everything the mountain likes to throw at them. It's strong edges hold the snow in everything from groomers to crud and will leave...
Characteristics: Surfy, Stable, Chargey
Manufacturer's Description:
Since our beginning, the Billy Goat has been the go-to choice for stability, power, and maneuverability in soft snow. Now in its 7th iteration, we’ve modified our RES (Reverse Elliptical Sidecut) design to incorporate a...

Newschooler's Review:
The Jessie 96 is an essential part of ON3P's new women's line and they haven't cut any corners with this one- the ski has the same durable construction as any other ON3P ski. I took the Jessie 96 out for a total of about 10 days and rode everything from fresh icy corduroy...
Characteristics: Solid, versatile, jibby but also good for charging
Manufacturer's Description:
Fast, powerful, and stylish: words that define the scope of our Kartel line. This year, a three ski line-up represents a more focused option for those with jib thinking running through their all...
Newschooler's Review:
This ski has quickly become my new favorite all-mountain ski. They just rip, and they rip everywhere. An all mountain ski that is wide enough to handle pretty much any conditions, whether it's a foot of fresh or spring park laps, these will go anywhere. I've dropped...
Newschoolers Review:
The Kartel is for the park rider who likes to rip some groomers every now and then, or just prefers a wider platform. These skis crush everything from rails to jumps to fresh groomed to tight trees. Wide enough to handle some fresh snow in the morning but narrow enough to...
Manufacturer's Description:
Brand new for 2019, the Magnus 102 brings our ten years of rockered park ski development into the 100mm+ waist range. Designed for skiers who find themselves taking their park skills all over the mountain, it provides a more stable platform and top end stability...
Newschoolers' Review:
So these skis were a bit of a revelation to me. Despite what Magnus might make it look like these are pretty stiff skis, and yet serious amounts of rocker make them playful nonetheless. The amount of power they give you on nollies and popping out of both nose and tail...

Welcome back to Newschoolers Editors' Picks for 2017-18. We're almost certainly last to the annual gear selections party, but I'd like to think that's because we actually spend at least a week on every ski we try rather than just a couple of runs at a gear test. Last week we announced our park...
