Frequently Asked Questions
1. Where is Ridge located? We set up the Ridge base camp on the east side of California's Sierra Nevada, in Mammoth Lakes, Calif., where high desert meets deep snow and 14,000 foot peaks. We wanted our products to evolve in an area where life means working and playing outside in a wild and highly variable environment. A place where folks might backcountry ski during a snowstorm in the morning and boulder in desert sunshine later that day.

Yes - in addition to skiing and snowboarding, our customers love our products for all types of outdoor activities - from backpacking, to camping, climbing, fishing, yoga, mountain biking, trail running... the list goes on. Our Merino wool apparel is exceptional for travel because it's lightweight, comfortable, versatile and can be worn much longer between washes due to its anti-stink qualities. Trust us.
