RAMP

Hello, this is Kilch, President and CESnow

 

We are full speed into the prototyping and testing of our processes in order to begin production in July. With so much flexibility built into our new factory, we can test virtually anything because we can make any structure and shape. We have to take a very methodical approach to this so we keep isolating one single variable. 

 

Our next Mt. Hood Test is going to be June 28-29. At that point, we have to decide which structures are giving the best perform...

Hello, this is Kilch, President and CESnow.

 

This has been an amazing spring at RAMP. We have purchased a new building, renovated and modified it, and moved in—all happening in the month of May, basically. In addition we set up a new manufacturing facility and are molding the first skis. We have developed a new manufacturing process, which is going to allow us tremendous flexibility and efficiency. We can create new shapes without having to create all new molds, which is a major breakthrough. We ...

Day one of the Freeskiing World Tour (FWT) held much excitement. This was the day of qualifiers for athletes who had not pre-qualified through placing well enough at other events or simply had never competed before. Held at Snowbird, Utah, the qualifying round was held on the west face of Baldy. The competitors were scored on their choice of line, how fluidly they skied it, how much control they appeared to have, and their style. Chuck Mumford was definitely one of the competitors who stood out ...

Now...RAMP has there own form of March Madness, save huge on skis today!

Hello, this is Kilch, President and CESnow.

Well, it is finally snowing here in Park City and it kicked in last week back east.  It looks like the weather pattern is shaping up for more normal weather and that is great news.  We’ve been doing so many demo days on hard groomed snow east and west and mid-west, and it has been gratifying to see how well the RAMP Skis and Boards have been riding.   It really shows how far we’ve come in making 90mm and 100 mm skis and snowboards with rocker tip and t...

Hello, this is Kilch, President and CESnow,

It is Consumer Show Season! RAMP is a Company that loves interacting with skiers and riders face to face. We think talking to people at concerts, consumer shows and demo days is the best thing we can do. People are stoked when they see our skis and snowboards and find out about all the things we believe in as a Company. When they find out they can be reps for us, get direct pricing and get their skis and snowboards in a free padded ski or board ...

After the meeting I drove up over Guardsman Pass, which goes from Big Cottonwood Canyon back over to the ... Read More
