2018-2019 ON3P Wrenegade 114
ON3P is about to release an all-new wider Wrenegade, and we had it out yesterday in perfect test conditions at Telluride. So how easy-going or game-on is this new Wrenegade 114? And is it best thought of as a wider all-mountain ski? A chop destroyer? Or a directional deep-snow ski that prefers fall line skiing? Check out our measured specs, rocker pics, and initial impressions.
