En 2012 aux US, avec Mike (<\/a>Michael Kilchenstein<\/a>) et une \u00e9quipe de passionn\u00e9s, nous avons transform\u00e9 un ancien showroom automobile en une v\u00e9ritable usine de skis, au c\u0153ur de Park City (UT).

C\u2019\u00e9tait un pari ambitieux : adopter un proc\u00e9d\u00e9 de moulage sous vide jamais valid\u00e9 \u00e0 grande \u00e9chelle, pour produire efficacement des s\u00e9ries petites \u00e0 grandes\u2026 sans les contraintes classiques d\u2019outillage.
Avec <\/a>Edie Kilchenstein<\/a>, <\/a>Polly Rihm<\/a>, <\/a>Evan Howard<\/a>, Vanessa, Joe, John, <\/a>Douglas Webster<\/a> et Sander, nous avons rempli l\u2019usine de machines, d\u2019astuces, et surtout de savoir-faire.
A l’origine, en 2008, nous faisions produire nos skis \u00e0 Taiwan mais le projet prenait une toute autre dimension : nous ne faisions plus fabriquer, nous fabriquions nous-m\u00eames.
C\u2019est l\u00e0 que tout a chang\u00e9 pour moi : je suis pass\u00e9 du savoir-faire-faire au savoir-faire.
Une usine, un process, une \u00e9quipe\u2026 et un ski qui porte en lui tout \u00e7a.
Avant le Made in France, j’ai fi\u00e8rement particip\u00e9 au Made in USA avec cette aventure magnifique.

Building More Than a Factory: A New Momentum

In 2012, together with Mike and a passionate team, we turned an old Honda dealership in Park City into a full-fledged ski factory.

The challenge was bold: embrace vacuum molding, a production method that had never been truly validated at scale, to make both small and large series \u2014 all without the usual tooling constraints tied to each model.
With Edie, Polly, Evan, Vanessa, Joe, John, Doug, and Sander, we filled the space with machines, ideas\u2026 and most importantly, craftsmanship.
The RAMP adventure had started back in 2008, with our first skis manufactured in Taiwan. But this step \u2014 building the factory \u2014 changed everything.
We stopped outsourcing. We started building.
That was my turning point: from knowing how to make skis, to making them differently.
A factory, a process, a team\u2026 and skis that carry that entire story within them.
Before Made in France, I proudly took part in Made in USA through this incredible adventure. Miss you guys.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
