What is ramp, and how does one adjust ramp? (Edit. I looked it up. So, a boot can also affect ramp angle? Plates? Heel lifts?)
.
Different ramp angles. The "flat" still has toe drop it appears, so would have ramp angle.
Sort of analogous to the ramp of the boot board. (Boot board - what the liner sits on inside the boot) But the boot board is closer to a flat plane from toe to heel. These, except the flat, go from ball of foot to somewhere just in front of heel.
Now, if you were to put a thick magazine under the heel only, you'd add the equivalent of binding "delta".
The big difference being ski boots, because of the cuff, hold your lower leg at a fixed angle to the bottom of your foot.
The binding ramp angle, delta, is the angle the bottom of the boot is made to take because the bottom of the boot heel is higher off the ski than the bottom of the boot toe. Some binding models have spacers available to put under the binding to change the delta.
