The SAFSC & Winsport Air Bag Ramp at COP is now open!
Ramp Basics
Ramps are used to perfect tricks before doing them on snow. We climb up stairs to the top of the in-run, ski down a plastic surface then off of the same size jumps used on snow and land in a pool of water. We wear a wet suit or a baggy suit with rubber seals on the wrists, ankles and neck called a dry suit, normal ski boots, a life vest and a helmet.
All athletes are required to qualify inverted aerials before performing them on snow
