I’ve demoed both of those, and could easily own either one, but still prefered the Billy Goat. I could see them as a wider ski in a 2-quiver, along with the Z90’s.Īnd then, gosh darn it, ON3P now has the Woodsman, which they are calling “all-mountain,” kind of between the directional charger Wrenegade and the more playful/jibby/center-mounted Jeffrey (formerly Kartel). I was actually leaning towards the Billy Goat, because I’ve taken them in the crud and bumps and they were pretty freaking amazing. I’m focused on the ON3P skis because when I’ve demoed, they were my favorite skis for PNW off-piste conditions. That said, they’re not ideal for powder, and I’d like a ski with a tail that releases easier for mixed conditions. So I’ve pretty much skied them everywhere. I didn’t use my Head Rev 85’s at all and took my Rev 105’s out for one run last season before realizing the Renouns were better, even in 5” of new snow, especially on top of refrozen crud. I acquired my Renoun Z 90’s last year, and they became my one-ski quiver, and I love them as a teaching ski. I am fine with whatever conditions are present, enjoy bumps and off-piste more than strictly groomers. I ski at Stevens Pass and Crystal Mt (PNW maritime snow). I like to think I’m advanced, but I’m still working towards PSIA L2. I’m 5-10”, maybe 150lbs, part time instructor. I’ve got my eyes on ON3P Woodsman 108, probably in 182 and ON3P Billy Goat (116) in 184. So, wider all mountain that can work in powder, or a powder ski? I’m in the market to expand my quiver.but not all at once.
