"I recently starting skiing on "the Cork" park ski by Ramp Sports and am super impressed with how it performs.  I mostly compete in the halfpipe and have been overwhelmed by how easy it is to control in the pipe.  If I make a mistake with a take off or landing the ski is still right there underneath me.  I feel balanced and centered on the Cork.  The early rise on the tip and tail make the ski great for all conditions with out compromising ski performance." 

 

"The Cork has all the technical aspects of a great ski with a few great new ideas.  The early rise on the tip and tail allow me to determine how big or small I want to turn, while the straight edge underfoot maintains great snow contact for a really solid feeling ski."

“Mike Kilchenstein has assembled a great group of people working on and at RAMP. I love the modern & eco approach that I'm so psyched to be representing. Skied on a pare of Chickadee's in early season snow and had a blast!”

“The Lobstah board rips and is a great all around snowboard. It holds a good edge carving and riding up the walls of the halfpipe. It's also has a solid feel which helps with landings of jumps. Whatever the conditions are this board can hang. I ride this RAMP board the most.”

 

“The Tumbleweed board is similar to the Lobstah and is a great all around board. With the early rise tip and tail it makes it less work when the snow is deep. My favorite place to ride this board is in powder but it rides very well in all terrain.”

-Ross Powers- National, World, World Cup and Olympic Champion

I really enjoyed riding the Ramp Sports Snowboards in several ways.  The board shapes are sweet with a very natural turn radius.  The 161 I rode with the slight rocker is quite a piece!  The stability at high speed was impressive and a solid performance through a mixed bag of conditions.

 

The little bit of video I shot while on your board was some of the most fluid for me so far.   Especially, considering the traffic on the hill, the variable conditions, and the speed I was running.  I am very interested in riding this board and representing Ramp Sports on the hill.

 

We rebounded a little after the rain, with about 5" to soften the sides and with more snow in the forecast, it has me itching for the trees.

The first thing I noticed about the peacepipe is how ridiculously light they were, it was really nice to have a light pow ski for once. the peacepipe is like a regular ski except fatter and at the end they beef up a little more and rise early. As a free rider I first looked at them and I was a little disappointed  at them not being twins, which isn't a thought in your mind first run on them. I love how the fatter tips hold the backs down for me so I don't have to lean back, to discourage my noses from catching, for me that was my biggest problem skiing in deep pow. Skiing them the first time was like being detached from the ground, it enhanced my pow shredding experience like no other ski has. In conclusion the peacepipe is a ski for other companies to think about when designing they're powder ski's.

My name is Adam Battersby and I am a freeskier based out of Salt Lake City, Ut. The first thing I must say about these Skis is that don't be afraid of to try them because they are a new brand. I know most people think because a new ski company starts off small they have little room to make good quality skis. For Ramp this is in fact the complete opposite. For me I was a bit skeptical at first but the second I slapped the peace pips on my feet it totally changed my outlook on new brands. These skis are build to last and they handle better then the competition. Before I got some Ramps I was a dedicated Volkl rider for 7 years. I need to explain how I more then loved the switch. The peace pipes are a great all mountain ski with a reversed camper tip that allows the rider much comfort and stability in the deep snow. They are also very light and great for all Back-county enthusiasts because it makes touring far distances seem minuscule. As far as durability they also top the charts. I have taking these off cliffs as well as the big terrain park jumps and nothing will stop them. So no matter if your going from the Back- country to the Ski resorts you will always find yourself in total delight when riding on Ramps. Cheers

"I took out the Hogs in a foot of fresh at Vail this past weekend and they were sick! They floated great in the deep stuff, were easy to handle in the trees, stable enough to stomp a couple cliff drops and when I hit some packed powder on the way back to the lift they ripped a mean GS turn for a ski that is 100mm under-foot! The Groundhog is the perfect one-ski quiver for the aggressive all-mountain skier who is always looking for a little powder stash. GET SOME!"

“My Tumbleweed arrived on Christmas Eve, what an awesome gift! She tore it up all over Mary Jane today! Had a blast in the park and bashed down a bunch of bumps. No new snow today, so really looking forward to riding her in the powder!”

“Skied the RAMP Woodpecker’s today and really enjoyed them on the groomers, hardpack and light crud.  A very quick turner, but these RAMP’s also did handle the speed coming down a steep face quite well. When I really pressured the tips of the Woodpecker’s, they responded and really set an edge and began to carve. The workmanship on the the skis is top and they appear to be solidly built. Didn’t get a chance to ski on them in the bumps, but with their previously mentioned characteristics, these skis seem like they would handle the bumps just fine.”

"The Ramp stuff is legit. I took out all the products this weekend. Everything skis great. The ski pictured really does initiate easier than most 100 mm skis, regardless of where a ski that size would fit in your quiver. I'm usually a fan of metal in my skis, which this ski doesn't have, however it was more stable and powerful than similar skis like the Kung Fujas. After a few runs I stopped missing the metal, actually. 


I also skied the Peacepipe at 115 underfoot with decent early rise in the tip, but tradition camber underfoot through the tail. It held up to the claims of good float while maintaining all mountain skiability, and did it as well as any other ski I've tried. It really did rip the groomers back to the lift. It also felt more powerful than its weight had me believing, thanks no doubt to a tail construction stiffer than many skis in that category. It's not a monster by any means, but when you flex it you won't feel a noodley tail like an S7.


At first, coming off a metal ski, the peacepipe felt a little easy to ski, but once I realized the tail and the rest of the ski were 100% there for me, I think this ski just equals more runs out of a day. I might end up on it, and if I do it'll probably be every day."

"Yep, I skiied them last week and LOVE them. First of all, they are really light weight, even with the demo bindings on them. They are the perfect blend between new riser technology and traditional construction. A little early rise in the tip with solid vertical sidewalls and flat tail. For being so wide under foot they are still quick to turn and snappy. And the graphics are pretty cool too."
