Water Ramps in Steamboat

And does anyone know anything about foam pits in colorado?

I did just find this video link from the guys on the tgr forum I think. It's not letting me post on there right now to ask them about the ramps, but judging from the video the ramps look like they are well designed for newschool air.

u gotta have ussa membership and a coach I think.

yeah thats what i heard..pretty damn lame

bump

You just need a ussa membership (preferably freestyle)(for insurance/legal reasons)....frestyle rookie membership costs 50 bones. No you dont need a coach. A season pass for ramps/tramps will set you back about 300. As for day fees, i think its like 15 or 20 for ramps or somethin.

and make sure you have a tie thing (like a piece of rope/string or something). like to tie your ski to your boot. otherwise if your ski pops off you're not gonna find it in that water.

damn this is taking me forever

No bubbles here at this ramp, does anyone know if it hurts more then the LP ramps

off ramps that are that small it won't hurt check out this ramp we don't use bubbles

damn i want to hit some water ramps, how easy is it to fake a ussa membership??!?!

if anyone here lives on the east you can go to lake placid and as of a couple years ago you just needed a parent signature and it cost like 30 for a couple hours and they let you use there skis and boots

I've been hitting the steamboat water ramps for three years now, and went to lake placid ramps for a weekend last summer, and while i'm orginally from upstate new york, above lake placid, I not a huge fan of their water ramps..Definately something to take advantage of if your there for sure, but not something I would travel there specifically to hit..while their water is airated and makes landings considerably softer, I prefer the ramps at steamboat. The actual ramp is constructed to imiatate(probably spelled that word wrong) a jump you would find in the park, and they have a mogul style ramp and a single(ariels) jump that looks very similar to the take off you would find on a hip. Alot of people make noise that airation is needed for water ramping...not the case, look at the vid in my profile for a look at them. If your in the area (colorado) than definately try to take advantage of them, unless you can afford the utah ones which kick Steamboat and lake placids ass.

The main ski coach at lake placid was an extremely chill guy, but one of the snowboard coaches there was the biggest ass/douche i've met, wish I could remember his name. The coaches at the Steamboat ramps have always been super inclusive to people training at the ramps and work hard to maintain a fun/positive training atmosphere.

If you guys have any questions feel free to pm me.

you mean ankel straps, everyone used to use them for brakes were invented. They still make them.

leash, ankle strap, rope, etc...whatever works its worth it, there are things much more enjoyable than diving for skis.

the water ramps r sick u can do anything, but not anymore its snowing up here

yeah also i think that you have to be on the s.s.w.s.c iv never hit them but i have used the traps there but the rest of the tam has to tols me that you need a wet suit

These water ramp thingys they hurt for anyone who takes them for ganite. I land on my face and it dont faze me just wear tuns of pads for the slap factor.

actually theyll make you dive to the bottomand grab a ski or two if you get in trouble sometimes.
