Getting the bird while hammering out high-speed groomers might be the norm. But staying on-piste isn’t the sole purpose of this adventurous pecker. If it snows, the woods are home for that tempting stash. If that doesn’t whet an appetite, bouncing out a bump run will. We like to call this our “All Mountain Frontside," made for that skier who spends 65% of the time on groomed trails, buy enjoys exploring off-piste the rest of the time. The award-winning Woodpecker includes a Kevlar veil—adding energy to the FSC certified bamboo core—for excellent rebound on the groomers. With our specially designed Razor Cut sidecut and 90mm underfoot, it’s stable and won’t let you down with a strong edge grip made for high-speed hookup. Yet, with its medium-minus early rise and reverse sidecut in the tip, this ski isn’t just a great carver that is hook free, but it also likes to float in pow.
Don’t skimp on safety. You want a binding that will keep you connected during fast, steep descents and will release smoothly when you get reckless. The Tyrolia Peak 15 is that reliable race-type binding. Ensure exact boot centering and reduced toe friction with the Roller Pincer System and the Continuous Teflon band along toe riser. The 180-degree release function provides added performance and reduced knee and ligament torque. This binding has the added safety functions that a skier obsessed with speed just can’t do without.
Now’s your chance to catch Lindsey Vonn. Add this plate to the Frenzy, Woodpecker, or Chickadee, and get your race on. You’ll feel a dramatic increase in quickness due to the extra leverage in height (plate sits 13mm high). Bring edge grip to a new level with increased torsion stability, and feel and flow with the hill with Tyrolia’s two-piece FlexSystem. The carving power explodes to a new level as the Speedplate transmits pressure dramatically.
When you are in steep terrain, you expect the best and want a no-nonsense pole that will get you where you want to go—like down that slippery slope. RAMP's expert poles are made from pure Carbon for lightweight durability. Poles are equipped with high performance race grips for comfort with nylon hand straps and all-condition 3 1/2" baskets.
