Our Ski Families
Our story
Romp Skis, founded by Caleb and Morgan Weinberg in Crested Butte, Colorado, grew from a garage project in 2010 into a beloved Elk Mountains brand known for handcrafted skis. In 2024, long-time customer and skier Chase Gardaphe acquired the company, bringing expertise in sales, marketing, and community outreach while preserving Romp’s "for-skiers, by-skiers" mission. With deep ties to the Gunnison Valley, Chase and the team continue to craft innovative skis for powder enthusiasts, all produced at their factory on Belleview Avenue in Crested Butte, where visitors are welcome to experience the artistry firsthand.
Romp Skis Featured In:
“Just got a pair of 100's - held on East coast concrete and soared on powder we got the next day!”
“Romp built a ski that was exactly what I described, and exactly what I was looking for...I was extremely impressed and happy with the ski they built for me”
“The 100's are my primary skis but I break out the Pin Tails on a good powder day or when I plan on skiing trees!”
Featured Ski
New year. New Ski. Meet the WU-Tail 108. A limited-edition, swallow-tail powder ski built to float, pivot, and charge — without losing its playful side.
This is a limited run shape, built exclusively through our custom ski program. Once they’re gone, they’re gone.
The WU-Tail Assassin is a powder focused shape that blends aggressive intent with playful soul. Designed with a distinctive swallow tail, this special edition ski delivers a dynamic and surf inspired ride that feels just as comfortable slashing steep spines as it does bouncing through low angle trees or even carving down early morning piste.
The swallow tail isn’t just for looks—it introduces additional torsional flex in the tail, creating a more reactive, energetic feel underfoot. The result? A ski that pivots effortlessly, floats with power, all while staying incredibly stable.
Specifications
• Dimensions: 144–108–134

The WU-Tail Assassin is perfect for riders who want a tool that charges hard but still knows how to have fun.
This is a limited-run shape, built exclusively through our custom ski program. Once they’re gone, they’re gone so get your hands on this Wu-Tang infused weapon while you can.

Romp Ramblings
Finding inspiration on the Ribbon of Death
This is how my ski design process starts. A single run, a day, or an entire trip gets me thinking about what the best ski for the conditions would be, and I develop the concept from there
A Skiers Journey from Crested Butte to Iceland
The stark beauty of Iceland feels worlds apart from Colorado’s forests and terrain. In Dalvik’s alpine simplicity, my trust in Dynafit’s Speed Radical bindings proved invaluable, letting me embrace the joy of backcountry skiing and boundless adventure.
