So my sidewall is getting pretty fucked on my old skis and I'm thinking about stepping it up. I've heard nothing but good stuff about On3p and might give them a try. I'm curious as to exactly how durable they really are. Heard they're pretty bombproof but how long do they typically last?
 
They are the most durable skis I've owned. Worth every penny.

Can run them over with a truck and they'd still be good. Don't know exactly what's in their bases but every time I think I've core shotted my skis I flip them over and am surprised that they are fine.

Do the edges/sidewall hold up to rail abuse? I'm a Midwest skier and usually ride 20 days a season approx

Yes they do, they are extremely well built and only use the best materials, it's pretty unreal actually. Probably the best recommended ski out their for durability.
 
I broke my pair in less than 100 days of skiing. I blew out the side walls before that then snapped them on a closeout. I heard they were durable too but they had about the same amount of lifetime as an AR7 for me so I went back to Armadas.
 
Yeah I've had a bad experience with ON3P.

They took all my money by making skis so amazing.

But yeah they're durable, anyone who thinks another brand is more durable is smoking something other than ganja.
 
Had a pair of 2014 Filthy's.

It's still the most enjoyable ski i've skied.

The edge ripped out after about 80 days of terrain parks.

Tried to break/crack the remaining pieces at a party, we invented a new rocker profile but impossible to snap.

Pretty expensive for a European, otherwise cool.
 
I've been working for them for 10 years in various capacities.

Owned 3 pairs of skis. Not because they won't give them to me, but because I've never broken rendered any of them unskiable, or been able to beat them up so bad that they need to be replaced.

To be fair - I have actually owned 4 pairs of ON3P. my last pair of park skis I actually pulled out of the warranty bin. Yes, the bin of skis that contains skis that actually had an issue. There wasn't much to choose from. They were second year of production blue steeles, which was a batch of skis where our tip spacer people but the wrong treatment on the tip spacers and it led to some delams. These skis also had an edge crack on one end.

Skied those for three seasons before I stopped skiing park. They still look as good as the day i pulled them out of the bin, minus a the edges being more dull.

It might sound like I'm talking them up - I've never been an employee so I'm not bound to any sort of loyalty other than the loyalty that I've grown to have based on the quality of the product and the quality of the people.
 
If you're looking for something that's almost as durable and much cheaper, go with kitten factory. During mid-spring their skis go on sale for 50% off.
