If deep days, soft landings, and pillow lines are the name of the game, the ON3P Kartel 116 Skis are top contenders. The Kartel 116's design is similar to the discontinued Jeffrey, but with a more aggressive tip taper that improve maneuverability in deeper snow and reduces swing weight on those airy cat track 3s. Constructed with a 100% bamboo core, a nearly symmetrical Freestyle Flex, and a playful yet versatile Freestyle Rocker, the ON3P Kartel 116 Skis are your go-to fresh snow slayers.
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.
Freestyle Flex | 7.0 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff) – Solid underfoot platform with an even, progressive flex into tip and tail. A close-to-symmetrical flex for performance going both forward & switch.
Bi-Radius Sidecut – The sidecut consists of a smaller turn radius in the tip that works in conjunction with a larger turn radius in the tail, creating a directional ski that is stable going straight, but will easily carve once the turn is initiated and the ski is on edge.
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 ON3P's line and matched with their rocker profiles to maximize effective edge while maintaining maneuverability.
Bamboo Core – The heart of every pair of ON3P skis is a FSC-certified, vertically laminated, 100% bamboo core. Bamboo is more durable, longer lasting, and provides a feel to the ski that no wood can match.
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 & sidewalls, acting as a shear layer that provides improved bonding strength and vibration dampening.
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-bias fiberglass, increasing torsional stiffness.
UHMW Sidewalls & Tip Spacers – UHMW (Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene) is an incredibly strong material, has a higher abrasion resistance than steel, and resists cracking (unlike ABS).
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.
2.5mm x 2.5mm Extra Thick Edges – ON3P uses a 3/4 wrap for their 2.5mm x 2.5mm Rockwell 48 Steel Edges.
3/4 Wrap Edges – The edges don't wrap all the way around the tips and tails the way other brands build skis. 3/4 wrap edges allow the tips and tails to flex naturally, which prevents delamination.
Nylon Topsheet – Sublimated nylon topsheet is chip-resistant, to ensure you always look your best.
Factory Finish – 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 by ON3P – Every single pair of ON3P Skis is built by an ON3P employee in their Portland, Oregon factory. No shortcuts or OEM - ON3P does it themselves. Design, build, sell, shred -- the American way.
We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.
