I love the videos they put out, but I really hate that people are willing to spend so much money on a ski. my reaction to someone saying they got a pair of on3ps is wondering if they're stupid and thinking they're a poser. although to be fair whenever I see a pair in real life I'm usually impressed haha.

I get what youre saying so I cant call it a bad take but I still disagree. The quality is noticeably better all around. Topsheets don’t chip, sidewalls don’t blow out, tips wont delam (that one dude doesn’t count). Is not like buying a regular ass pair of sunglasses with a gucci logo on the side, its like buying a regular ass pair of sunglasses with a gucci logo on the side that can give you x ray vision and see thru walls and shit.
Plus they are core af

I feel like you’re probs trolling but just in case:
Theres no chance some mf named NSCrip69 has even rode enough skis in his life to know whats better out of all 3 skis mentioned. Plus moments are the same price as on3p lmao
I rode poachers the season before I rode my jeffery’s. The Jeffs changed the way I view skis and how they ride. The difference is night and day.

You can get a good look at a T-Bone steak by sticking your head up a bulls ass, but wouldn’t you rather just take the butcher’s word for it?
I bought a Taylor copy of an acoustic guitar for 200 bucks that I absolutely love. Is it a Taylor? No. And usually I hate overpriced shit that’s just cool for being cool but ON3P gets my respect. They actually make the fucking skis?! How???

That's false, schizoskiers pair only survived like 20 days before getting their sidewall blown out. He is sorta the arbiter of durability for ON3P.
Also ON3P ≠ core. For the price of a pair of ON3Ps you could get a fresh pair of Vs and a fresh pair of Gucci sunny's and have $50-$200 to spare.

I have been riding my Mango 100s for 2 years now, probably getting like 75-100 days a year. They have 0 core shots and 1 edge crack. I reckon I will get another 2 seasons out of them.
Before this I had line chronics, they were $400. I spent probably another $100 fixing core shots and bullshit just for them to not even make it through a full season
$800 = at least 3 seasons with no problems
$400 = .75 of a season with them needing to get fixed every month
I would say on3p is worth

You get what you pay for. And what you pay for is:
- A really fun, high performing ski
- An extremely well built, durable ski. Seriously. Ive taken mine through literal rock fields. For me, ON3Ps last twice as any lines, factions, or armadas ive owned. Second to None, only other competitor maybe Moment
- Support of the ski industry
- Incredible Warranty. What other company (again, maybe Moment) spends time on forums and personally replies to threads on delams offering a new pair. My Jeffs had a wonky tune, and after a single email I got a 5 paragraph essay response on things I could try, then a week later got a call making sure I solved the issue and they were skiing well. ON3P prides themselves on having the best made product, and their reputation of making sure every customer is happy on their skis shows.
- Best looking topsheets and bases on the market.
So go ahead, name a comparable ski to the Jeff 100. And I will tell you why paying the extra $200 to $300 is worth it. I am not a fanboy because of the hype. Name any other brand that has the a new ski for MSRP under $450 (half of what a new jeff is, and your claim is you can find one for half the cost) that has the same durability, performance, customer support, local company, and topsheets.
Also factory finds exist. Wait until the springtime and get some brand new jeffs for $550. So by that logic, you need to find a brand new ski on sale for $275 that is better than the jeff 100. And no, line honeybadgers dont count.

How the fuck are Wildcats and MSPs "Half the cost" of ON3Ps. Those are both good skis, but the Wildcat is MSRP $829, which is $70 less than MSRP Jeffs. The MSP is $789, which is just over $100 less. I would say that the Moments are in the same price bracket/tier as the jeffs. And the MSP doesnt come in anything over a 187, some of us are tall. Plus it is a very different ski, and still barely $100 less than the Jeff. Name a ski that truly is half the price like you claim. Dumbass

I got no hate for ON3P, but a kid at my hill who’s 17 no job, and made his parents buy $2000 cad custom Jeffrey 100s. Like I said I can respect the brand, but that shit pisses me off. Because god forbid anyone else has the same pair of skis as him (no one else rides ON3Ps with 100km). His skis have got the shit beat out of them. Tbf he doesn’t detune them, or dry them, or really care for them in anyway. But they’re cooked after one year of skiing. Anyways, ON3P is a cool brand, but whenever I think of them I think of this kid and it really makes me not like the brand which isn’t fair. But yeah I’ve only ever met spoiled kids who think owing expensive skis makes them better skier or person than anyone else, and again shit pisses me off!

Naw I’ve seen ON3P skis go through the ringer, and there are made in the USA by not a giant corporate conglomerate. I would agree moments are a decent substitute but honestly the price difference isn’t that substantially different and from personal experience they aren’t alway the most durable.

I got a pair of billy goats on sale with side wall blemish for 400 bucks. And they are hands down my favorite powder soft snow ski. Just a fun fucking ski and I love thay they are made in oregon

You really think ON3P would deny a buyout from a conglomerate? The owner would cash out tomorrow if he could. Probably doesn’t generate enough profit to get a good offer though.
what I’m saying is don’t buy a ski just because the company is independently owned. That can change overnight.

i find that every (forgive the use of the word core) MSU skier trying to fit into the "core" group that is in with ski culture buys ON3P to flex that they are in the core part of ski culture using ON3P as a status symbol of their coreness. for that reason i find they lean to the overrated side as most MSU skiers i've met that mention they own ON3Ps cannot slide a rail yet talk the most about how epic of a skier they are.

Totally agree Agree- but I think MSU is a really unique case. So much of the student body/Bozeman as a whole moves there for ski culture- a lot of them are just trying to find their place. Even if they suck most of them are just trying to fit in and find their identity- because on the flip side of things you can throw a penny off of PK and hit 50 MSU kids ripping 108 Jeff's over 100 days each year who are cracked out of their mind.
I know when I went to MSU I probably fit more into that "can barely slide a rail" category but most of the friends I made were cracked out of their minds- 4 seasons of skiing with the ballsiest skiers ever will improve anyone. It's like anything- your crew influences the gear you buy and the skis you rip.

Hmmm I bet they’re doing pretty well, on the west coast they are pretty common especially in the pnw area. I’m also have a feeling you’re wrong on the they would buy out view point. I know plenty of people who know the guy’s who started it and I don’t think they are in it for the money necessarily. Yes they want to make a profit obviously, but they also are skier’s themselves and care about the sport and culture. The amount of people disagreeing with you in this thread should be enough to show you this is probably a bit take, but you’re entitled to your own opinion

Also this post gives off the vibe that if you had a homie trying to make something cool like a ski or skate company you wouldn’t want to support them because they might make it and sell out down the line… idk just seems jaded for no reason

Their entire brand identity and marketing is based around being independently manufactured. “Who builds your skis” and hyping up all the made in USA stuff. So outsourcing production would defeat the entire purpose of the company. Why would a big company want to buy a mini ski factory when they have a huge one in China or Eastern Europe? That would make 0 business sense.

I would say ON3P is neither overhyped nor overpriced. The quality of the skis speaks for itself, as consumers we SHOULD be paying for better quality kit. No doubt it is better for the environment, workers, sustainable business practices etc.
