RAMP Skis and Snowboards Let Baseball Fans Show Their Love

Park City, UT – RAMP Sports has announced a one-of-a-kind licensing deal with Major League Baseball Properties to create skis and snowboards featuring officially licensed team logos of all 30 MLB teams.

This is the first time Major League Baseball has licensed its team and league marks for use on skis and snowboards. Baseball fans will now be able to show team pride all year long in the mountains.

Handmade in the USA, RAMP Sports crafts each ski and snowboard utilizing a full bamboo core along with a modern vacuum-molding process for strength and durability. The new licensing arrangement between RAMP Sports and MLB allows fans to experience top tier skis and snowboards on the slopes while showing off their team pride.

RAMP and MLB worked together to select specific models from RAMP’s top-selling and most versatile skis and snowboards. For winter 2014-15, the RAMP Woodpecker and Chickadee skis, along with the Tumbleweed snowboard models, will be available for this special program. These models with the official team graphics of fans’ choice, are now available for pre-order at MLB.com and www.rampsports.com. They will also be available at select MLB ballpark retail locations and a number of ski and snowboard shops around the US and Canada.
