On3p skis durability

Yes. They are arguably one of the most durable skis. I am not saying they cant break, but its ON3P, they are tanks
 
I got a pair at the beginning of the season last year. The first year was only a couple chips on the top sheet but held up much better than my line skis. This year I’ve been going a lot bigger and got 2 edge cracks but are really nothing. Also there customer service is amazing.
 
My ON3P's just had the base delaminate on one of the tips down to past where the edge starts, so the edge is coming out with it too :(

I got them used, but they were perfect condition with not even a topsheet chip or any evidence of having touched a rail. Maybe 20 days in on them now. I plan to try and epoxy it back together if anyone has any tip on which type of epoxy is best for this?
 
Protip: There's not a fucking ski that's going to hold up against being smashed into rails over and over again.

But ya ON3P as well as most other companies making park skis hold up well. I've only had issues with Line before and that was only on my Line Invaders so I can't speak on them overall as a company.

I would think marine epoxy
 
Not the same ski but i took my Kartel 108s down a tight chute and ripped over a rock, thought the whole edge was gonna be blown. Nabbed a decent 2in x 2in core shot right against the edge but the edge was rock solid, kept going on it the rest of the day.

I just want to hear what people have experienced so that way I don’t waste 800 on new skis

so read what's in that linked thread instead of bumping your thread thats been made 40 times.

They're durable skis, but they're not unbreakable, they could easily snap in certain circumstances in the park but compared to other brands their build quality is top notch.

Update: Even on an 8 year old ski I bought used I was contacted by ON3P who offered to fix my ski for me or advice on how to repair it myself. You just won't get that kind of customer support from any other company in practically any hard goods category. Buy their shit.

I used a flexible automotive/all purpose adhesive from Canadian Tire for this. Can't remember what it's called but it was in a grey tube and was about $8. It's transparent. It sets pretty quickly, so make sure you have clamps ready to go. I have tried marine epoxy too, and I find it works for filling large core shots but isn't great for sticking skis back together.

Agreed. This or high pressure steel pipe epoxy.
 
What I can say about the dourability after a half season riding ON3P Jessie: the topsheet is really durable. But thats it.

One edge of a ski is broken, on the other ski the base is loosen.

The ski are really expensive and I bought them because of the durabilty. But the durability is the same as other ski brands.

I wrote them a email with pics but they didnt answer me yet. Really sad, especially if you buy an expensive ski :(

If you're skiing rails then I don't care what company it is, your edges will crack.

The delaminating base is a bit of a bummer but looks to be a really easy fix. Push some epoxy in there and clamp it well until cured.
