At the [[2016 World Junior Curling Championships]], Ramsfjell led his team of [[Bendik Ramsfjell]], [[Magnus Vågberg]], [[Elias Høstmælingen]] and [[Eskil Vintervold]] to a 5-4 round robin record, missing the playoffs. At the [[2017 World Junior Curling Championships]], his team improved to a 6-3 round robin record, which put them in a tiebreaker game against Canada's [[Tyler Tardi]] rink for the final playoff spot. They beat Canada in the tiebreaker game, but lost to Scotland's [[Cameron Bryce]] in the 3 vs. 4 game. This put them in the bronze medal game, where they faced Scotland again.

At the [[2018 World Junior Curling Championships]], Ramsfjell would skip a new team which consisted of Kristian Foss, [[Michael Mellemseter]], [[Andreas Hårstad]] and [[Jørgen Myran]].
