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.

Updates for 26/273 items
  • 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.
  • Offset Tip Shape. Shifts the center of the tip and tail toward the inside edge to maintain float while increasing taper along the outside edge. This helps the ski roll, pivot, and smear more easily in deep snow.

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 stock ON3P is a vertically laminated, 100% bamboo core, cut and laminated in our Portland shop. Exceptionally strong, technically a grass, and the backbone of our trademark feel since day one: damp, powerful, responsive.

1.8mm Durasurf Base

Every stock ski runs a 1.8mm Durasurf 4001 base, the thickest base in skiing. More material means more glide, more protection from rock strikes, and more stone grinds before the ski is done.

2.5mm x 2.5mm Ski Edge

Our 2.5mm x 2.5mm Rockwell 48 steel edges are the thickest edges in skiing. The 3/4 wrap lets the tips flex, which lowers the risk of delamination where skis take the most abuse.

Full Length UHMW Sidewall

Full length, full height UHMW sidewalls are more abrasion resistant than steel while still allowing torsional flex. Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene is the same material used in armored vehicles, and it absorbs and resists impact better than any other sidewall material we have tested (sorry, ABS).

(3) Layers of VDS

Three layers of VDS rubber run along the edges and sidewalls as a shear layer, improving bond strength between materials and damping vibration through the ski.

2800 Hybrid Composite

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

ISOSPORT 8210 Pi19 Topsheet

Every ON3P topsheet is sublimated in-house and hand-sanded, so every graphic is printed in our building and finished by hand to look better for longer.

Extra Wide Binding Mat

An additional layer of double-bias fiberglass under the binding zone increases screw retention and prevents pullouts. We run the mat full width on every ski, so any hole pattern lands on reinforced material, with added torsional stiffness and power transfer underfoot.

Bamboo-Paulownia Hybrid Core

Tour Layup skis run a vertically laminated bamboo and paulownia hybrid core. Paulownia takes weight out of the ski for the climb; bamboo keeps the damp, powerful, responsive feel that defines every ON3P.

CNC-Milled Bamboo Mounting Plate

A CNC-milled bamboo plate sits in the core under the binding zone. It gives the screws solid material to bite in a lighter core, so a touring ski holds its bindings like a resort ski.

1.4mm Base

Tour Layup skis run a 1.4mm Durasurf 4001 base, the same material as our resort skis with less of it, to save weight on the way up while keeping the glide and impact protection on the way down.

2.2mm x 2.0mm Ski Edge

For 26/27, Tour Layup skis move to a 2.2mm x 2.0mm steel edge: more strength and more retunes over the life of the ski for minimal added weight. The 3/4 wrap lets the tips flex, which lowers the risk of delamination.

Full Length UHMW Sidewall

Full length, full height UHMW sidewalls are more abrasion resistant than steel while still allowing torsional flex. Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene is the same material used in armored vehicles, and it absorbs and resists impact better than any other sidewall material we have tested (sorry, ABS).
