animatorThey sucked imo, designs were archaic and they weren’t anything special. Industry must have agreed given that they went under but that’s just my opinion. Anyone ever have good experiences w them?

stinky_petetheir designs looked a lot like the designs from DPS skis but without the carbon. Somehow DPS has stayed afloat though
animatorBecause their margins are fucking huge dude, plus rich white people love saying their skis cost $1300!!
stinky_peteyeah idk how big their margins actually are though. I actually worked at DPS for a summer building skis and it was sick but what I heard is they weren't actually profiting as much as one would imagine when you see their ski prices. Like lowkey struggling to stay afloat but maybe that's just the sad reality of all rider-owned made-in-the-US ski companies.

eheathSucks man, homie who started RAMP was a good dude, he was all about sustainable practices, the skis just weren't that popular and they never took off, real shame.
