Is October the beginning of winter?
I was invited by RAMP, a new ski/snowboard company, to come to Hood and test their 2011/12 product line. We drove the truck full of all the gear to Timberline ski area and up to the bottom of the lift. From there we rode the lift to the little patch of snow left over from last season. There was a just enough snow to give me good taste of what the skis are capable of. All the skies are fun to ski super solid! Of course I have my favorites.
The big mountain Peacepipe was my favorite for sure, but their all mountain women's ski, the Beaver came in a very close second. I would ride both of these skis in every condition and they would rally. Jamie tested the snowboards. Probably 20 boards in just two days.
You couldn't ask for better weather!
Check out www.rampsports.com RAMP should have product ready to sell in the next five weeks.
