Product Details

Rocker Type:

Freestyle Rocker: Larger tip and tail rocker combined with camber underfoot. More playful, more fun, with enough camber underfoot to maintain solid edge contact on hard snow.

Elliptical Rocker Profile: The rocker profile and tip shape are combined into one progressively changing elliptical arc, which allows the tips to plane faster in powder, deflect less in variable snow, and helps the effective edge running within the rocker length to engage in a natural, effortless way.

Flex:

Freestyle Flex: Solid underfoot platform with an even, progressive flex into tip and tail. A close-to-symmetrical flex for performance going both forward and switch.

Relative Stiffness (1 Soft - 10 Stiff): 7

Sidecut:

Elliptical Sidecut: An elliptical arc that begins at boot center and gets progressively smaller as it extends toward the tip and tail of the ski, resulting in a ski that carves harder the more it is put on edge, yet remains stable when it is skied flat.

Shape:

Tip Taper: Tip taper allows for a smoother release on turns, decreased swing weight, and a less catchy ride feel in variable conditions. Used throughout the ON3P line and matched with their rocker profiles to maximize effective edge while maintaining maneuverability.

Core:

Bamboo Core: The heart of every pair of ON3P ski is a FSC-certified, vertically laminated, 100% bamboo core. Bamboo provides a responsive, yet damp characteristic to their skis that we have grown to love.

Laminates:

Carbon Fiber: Provides strength, rebound, responsiveness, and stiffens torsionally and longitudinally.

Extra Wide Binding Mat: An additional layer of fiberglass mat prevents pullouts. To ensure proper coverage for all types of hole patterns, ON3P runs their mat full width on every ski they make. Their binding mat is double-biax fiberglass, increasing torsional stiffness.

Unidirectional Carbon Stringer: Each ski incorporates unidirectional carbon around the core, adding pop, stiffness, and dampness without any significant increase in weight.

Tri-Axial Fiberglass: 19 oz or 22 oz Tri-axial Fiberglass provides torsional and longitudinal stiffness, ensuring proper edge hold and power transfer.

Vibration Dampening Strips (VDS): VDS rubber is applied to the edges and sidewalls, acting as a shear layer that provides improved bonding strength and vibration dampening.

Sidewalls:

UHMW Sidewalls: UHMW (Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene) is an incredibly strong material, has a higher abrasion resistance than steel, and resists cracking (unlike ABS).

Base:

1.8 mm 4001 Durasurf Sintered Base: ON3P's Durasurf 4001 base material provides their skis with better glide and protection from damage compared to any other sintered and extruded base material, and is 50% thicker than the industry standard.

Edges:

2.5 mm x 2.5 mm Extra Thick Edges: ON3P uses a 3/4 wrap for their 2.5mm x 2.5mm Rockwell 48 steel edges. The 3/4 wrap allows the tips and tails of the skis to flex, decreasing the risk of delamination.

3/4 Wrap Edges: The edges don't wrap all the way around the tips and tails the way other brands build skis. The perceived durability is a marketing gimmick -- 3/4 wrap edges allow the tips and tails to flex naturally, which prevents delamination.

Graphics:

Nylon Topsheet: Sublimated nylon topsheet is chip-resistant to ensure you always look your best.

Additional Features:

Factory Finishing: A meticulous 32 step finishing process -- including a perfect, two-part base structure, hot wax + four hour hot box treatment, and a polished, beveled, detuned edge, allows skiers to mount and ski every ON3P out of the wrapper.

Made in Oregon: Every single pair of ON3P Skis is built by an ON3P employee in their Portland, Oregon factory. No shortcuts or OEM here -- they do it themselves. Design, build, sell.

Binding Compatibility:

We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.
