CEASE & DESIST

So good they should be illegal.

The Cease & Desist is our deepest-day powder ski: a 124mm directional platform built to surf bottomless snow and smear on command for skiers who want the most surface area we build.

For 26/27, the Cease & Desist receives a rounder, softer flex for improved float, along with two shape changes built for deep snow. Asymmetrical Tip Taper uses a longer taper on the outside edge and a shorter taper on the inside edge, so the uphill ski smears more easily while the supportive inside edge lets the downhill ski finish the turn. Offset Tip Shape shifts the center of the tip and tail toward the inside edge, maintaining float while increasing taper along the outside edge to help the ski roll, pivot, and smear in deep snow. Reverse Elliptical Sidecut keeps the tip loose and hook-free, while the traditional tail radius still holds an edge on the way to and from the lift. Signature Pow Rocker helps the ski plane early and stay on top, while low camber underfoot keeps it loose and maneuverable when you let it run. A directional mount and supportive tail make it a powder ski you can push, not just ride. This is for skiers who count their season in storm cycles, not days.

Every Cease & Desist is built with our custom 2800 hybrid fiberglass/carbon composite, a 100% bamboo core, full-length UHMW sidewalls, and the thickest bases and edges in skiing. The result is a loose, floaty, and durable powder ski designed to take a beating.

Handbuilt in Portland, Oregon

Since day one, every pair of ON3P skis has been built by hand in our NE Portland factory, a space we designed and built out ourselves. Every topsheet, base, and core goes from concept to finished ski under one roof, by a small crew of ski builders.

Two-year warranty

We stand behind every pair we build. Every ski carries a two-year warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.

Thickest bases and edges in skiing

Every stock ski is built with a 1.8mm Durasurf base and 2.5mm x 2.5mm hardened steel edges, the thickest base and edges in skiing. More base and edge to absorb impacts, rock shots, and retunes means more seasons of hard skiing.

  • Updated Flex Profile. Rounder and softer flex for improved float
  • Asymmetrical Tip Taper. A longer taper on the outside edge and a shorter taper on the inside edge. This helps the uphill ski smear more easily while the supportive inside edge allows the downhill ski to finish the turn.

Rocker profile
Signature Pow Rocker

Signature Pow Rocker is the soft-snow update to our Signature Rocker: pressed with more tip and tail rise and lower camber for more float, easier smears, and a smoother ride in powder. Floaty, surfy, and easy to steer. On the Cease & Desist, this profile keeps a 124mm ski surfing on the deepest days, with camber underfoot for control at speed.

Signature Pow rocker profile
Sidecut design
Reverse Elliptical Sidecut

Reverse Elliptical Sidecut (RES) is a large convex elliptical arc that runs from boot center to the tip taper, paired with a long traditional sidecut radius in the tail. In the front half of the ski the sidecut moves outward and tightens as it approaches the tip, so the ski stays catch free in powder and soft snow. The traditional tail sidecut gets you to and from the lift. Laid on edge, the RES tip and the tail radius work together into one turn radius with surprisingly strong edge hold. On the Cease & Desist, the reverse tip is built for float and surf in bottomless snow. The traditional tail radius still gets you to and from the lift on edge.

100% Bamboo Core

The heart of every pair of ON3P skis is a vertically laminated, 100% bamboo core. This exceptionally strong, environmentally friendly (technically grass) material has been the backbone of our trademark feel since day one: damp, powerful, responsive.

1.8mm Durasurf Base

Our Durasurf 4001 base material provides better glide and protection from damage than any other sintered or extruded material, and is 50% thicker than the industry standard.

2.5mm x 2.5mm Ski Edge

Our 2.5mm x 2.5mm Rockwell 48 steel edges are the thickest spec on the market, and our 3/4 wrap allows ski tips to flex, decreasing the risk of delamination.

Full Length UHMW Sidewall

Full length and full height UHMW sidewalls are more abrasion resistant than steel, while providing rigid yet flexible torsional support. Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene is also used for armored vehicles because it is literally bulletproof, and we use it for skis because it absorbs and resists impact damage better than other sidewall materials (sorry, ABS).

(3) Layers of VDS

VDS rubber is applied to the edges and sidewalls, acting as a shear layer that improves bonding strength and vibration damping.

2800 Hybrid Composite

A proprietary custom weave, our triaxial fiberglass and carbon composite runs 4-inch wide stringers full length for balanced torsional and longitudinal stiffness: all the pop you can handle, without added weight.

ISOSPORT 8210 Pi19 Topsheet

Sublimated in-house and hand-sanded, every ON3P topsheet is given extra love so your skis can look better for longer.

Extra Wide Binding Mat

An additional layer of fiberglass underfoot provides increased screw retention and prevents pullouts. To ensure proper coverage for all types of hole patterns, we run our binding full width on every ski we make. Our binding mat also features double-bias fiberglass, increasing torsional stiffness and power transfer.
