History
The idea- Our goal from the start was not to start an international company. Rather, our goal from the beginning, as skiers, was simply to understand more about skis and the design for our own purposes. We began researching the process, equipment, and materials necessary with the same passion that we had previously brought to the table when researching new lines to ski, snow conditions, and weather patterns. The name- The first pair we pressed, in 2008, we could not even ski on. Not understanding at the time what we were embarking on, we had built about 50 pairs of what were slowly starting to become decent skis for friends at a price range of 30 beers to a couple hundred bucks... and the word was out. If you need something built, go see the Rocky Mountain Underground guys. The name was given to us literally because we were pressing skis underground in the Rocky Mountains.
