I tested this exact model last spring when Rome had their demo show...I rode it a couple of times and instantly felt the difference in the park. A lot of pop off a small jump (I’m not that experienced at tricks) and I felt the difference in flex, control, carving, pop and lighter weight than my 151 carbon credit. I liked it so much..I bought it at the end of the show and rode it a couple of times after before season ended. I figured this is the board that’ll last me longer and hold up better in powder conditions than my CC. I thought a 152 would be a tad big for me considering my size (5’6”) but I feel like controlling it is no problem, and it’s light weight. Initiating a turn or a carve is like butter...almost like a surfboard feel when I was riding on fresh snow. Can’t wait to put it thru the ringer this season
I trust ur input/reviews like no other. (lol, luv the rad dad mention). Keep up the excellent content!
I'm super excited for this board. I wanted it last year, but it didn't come into pro form in my size until February. I'm kind of glad since I like the 2020 graphics better. I ordered it from a local shop because I didn't want to miss out on it another year.
I'm 165-170 pounds, size eight boot and going to be riding it in a 152. I'm super excited.
152?! Man, you should've at least got the 155 for your weight.
I have just rode this board. Its shines every where in the Mountain!!!!
Picked this board up on a whim last year at the shop i work at. Expected it to fill a void in my quiver as a directional non-volume-shifted pow board. Quickly ended up become the board i grab for the majority of my day. I can take this out in any snow conditions and know its going to perform regardless. The softer flex pattern works great with my lighter weight/style of riding. Floats in pow like a dream and then rips insane carves on the cat tracks back to the lift 5 minutes later. Cant speak highly enough about this board.
Totally agree, same thing: bought to complete the quiver, but became a quiver killer. Sickest board.
What's your weight and what size you go for ?
Thanks i’m considering the board. But i read that its pretty soft, slow and chattery, is this true? Can it perform well/stable on early morning hard groomers/pistes aswell when doing turns/carves?
Hey man, love your reviews. I picked up a Ravine from my local shop and can't wait for next season.
I went for a set of Stratas but walked out with a set of Falcors b/c my size was not in stock. Do you think they will pair well with this board?
Appreciate any insight, thanks!
You have to ask yourself do you want a more surfy feel or a more precise feel. Strata's obviously more surfy, Falcor's more precise. Somewhere in there is going to be what you want.
I am torn between the ravine and the lago open road, is there that big of a difference for the extra cost of the ravine. I am 6 ft 195 42 years old and do not ride park, but love a directional board that charges over anything in its path. I also ride a rome notch swallowtail 172 on deep pow days and ride the gnu swallowtail carver. I ride at Powder Mountain in Utah, but just took a trip to Copper mountain a few weeks ago and brought both those boards. (rome and gnu) No pow to be found so had to run groomers. The gnu washed out quite a few times on the steep groomers, so I swapped to the notch and it railed the groomers and carried a ton of speed. Not really wanting to bring the 172 swallowtail out on groomer days so looking for another board to add to the quiver that can rail groomers and handle chop and still hit some pow when I come across it. On deeper days I will still pull out the gnu and notch, but looking for that third board to fill that void. I thought the lago open road or rome ravine might fill that spot but wanted to see if the extra cost of the ravine has any more tangible advantages over the open road. thanks and love the channel.
Get that Lago Open Road it has a ton of great tech in it, a great price, and that board slays it.
I'm riding on Ravine 155 this season and it's amazing, however I think that maybe something for more aggressive carving could fit me better. I 'm thinking of Bataleon Carver, could you please compare both or recommend if Carver is worth to be looked at in comparison to Ravine?
The Carver is stiffer throughout the whole board, has a different sidecut that lets it dig in more and hold on with less vibrations, and it's called The Carver so that should give you an idea of what it's for.
Got a deal on the Ravine today. Need to pair with bindings. Mostly ride east coast ice chasing my kids, but go out west once or twice a year to get powder fix. Of the Rome bindings what would you recommend? Katana, Targa or Vice. Is it worth spending the extra $100 on the Katana over the vice? Thanks!
It is worth it, so go with the Katana, or maybe the DOD from Rome.
Looking at the 21 ravine and 21 bataleon camel 2. Which would you prefer for a resort pow board?
Ravine will be more versatile.
Looking at purchasing this board. The mountain i usually go to doesn not have groomers its all natural snow. Im looking for a board that i can send in the powder, clif drop, spin and not die if i land switch. Do you think this is a good choice? Any recommendations that would be better
100% good choice.
Would you recommend the ravine or the rome blur currently own a 150cm capita the outsiders
Both, neither, I don't know. You gave me no frame of reference here.
Hi Avram! Is there any difference between the 2018-2019 and the 2019-2020 Ravine? I can get a better deal on the old one.
There is a tweak in the core and design.
Hey Angry! how would you compare the ravine to the 2020 national? trying to decide between the two
Ravine more pow/freeride focused, National more all mountain freestyle focused.
Avran could you please tell me if this board goes well with de rome boss 390 bindings. Thanks you!!!
It'll work.
Do you know if there is any difference (besides graphic) between the Ravine and the “Alek Ostreng ravine”?
Pretty sure it's just graphic.
I just tested Ravine and Ravine Select for 20/21. Looking forward for Your opinion Angry 😎😎. Espexially on Ravine Select.
How would you compare the select to the regular Ravine?
Rob Bowman Select is stiffer and more stable. I prefer Select version.
@@prodish was it unforgivingly stiff? how much stiffer? Like can you cruise on it or do you have to be going fairly fast and aggressive with it?
@@robrowman6156 I’’d like to know this too, doubting between ravine and select
@@tendingtropic7778 I have the standard ravine and i personally love it. You can't go wrong with it. Get the select if you really like to go fast. However the regular one is stable at speed but also not too stiff where you can't just cruise on it. Its a nice sweet spot
Thanks for the review! i'm considering the 2021/2022 model of the Rome Ravine. Been riding a burton custom flying V for 7 years. looking for an all mountain board (mainly groomers) that supports carving (so good egde hold) but can also be playful along the sides of the pistes. Is the Ravine a good option or too chattery to get reasonable speeds and still have control/stability?
That's a HUGE step up from your Custom Flying V. Get it and if you want another option check out the Jones Stratos.
@@AngrySnowboarder thanks man, so you think the ravine is not too slow to keep up with my friends ;-)? Will check out jones stratos too!
@@tendingtropic7778 No, I think you're probably too slow to keep up with your friends. Go faster.
@@AngrySnowboarder lol you got me there! The thing i meant is that i fear the board is too soft / not damp enough / too chattery and that perhaps I should be looking at the ravine select. But I guess its not easy for you to comment on if the board is too soft for me or not, might have to try it for myself…
@@tendingtropic7778 You're literally coming from a bent in the middle turd any board will be better than that pile of suck.
Hey Angry, i'm torn between the Rome Ravine, Korua Otto and Jones Frontier. All these 3 boards seem similar to me. How do they compare to each other and which of these would you recommend for riding pow/off piste and progressing from intermediate to more advanced carving. Thanks
Frontier is the softest and designed for a progressing intermediate. Otto is the most all around do everything with a slight more focus on carving. Ravine is the pow slayer that can carve. I'd get a Ravine.
@@AngrySnowboarder Thanks
Would you recommend the Katanas or the Vice for the Ravine? :)
Looking for an S rocker board for lets say average intermediate rider, im surprised to see superpig on this similair list? Every else they deem is as super stiff and burly? Anyway, I decided to skip all the "oldschool" boards and want to try the new volume shifted surfer craze thats going on.
Freestyle aspect for me is jumping off shit in "backcountry", messing around with buttering, trees, gulleys etc etc etc. - no jibbing.
It might be too much board for me, but then I dont mind a challenge, its sucks a bit at first but then I think it makes me a better rider. But im wondering if the S rocker boards like superpig, niche maelstrom, salamon dancehall are way too advanced?
Favorite board to get is the superpig at the moment, the ravine is almost impossible to get where im from and the price is therefor ridiculous and i dont want to overpay 50% for a snowboard.
Most people that say something is too stiff also don't know how to fucking ride. Superpig is basically the same flex as a Warpig just more directional. Now the MTN Pig on the other hand, holy fuck that thing is stiff.
Kinda curious how this compares to the academy graduate I got. Wanna pick one up but don’t wanna buy a board too similar to what I have.
They'll be too similar.
You seemed to emphasize how lively it was. Does this equate to chattery at speed or on bad terrain?
It's a little chattery at speeds and you do end up feeling more underfoot in bad terrain.
What bindings would you recommend for more highspeed/powder style riding?
Rome Katana would be a solid match up with this.
I'm riding this board paired with Katanas and it seems to be a perfect match for high-speed riding/carving. I tried with less stiffer Flux PR and it wasn't great.
considering the 2021 ravine with either rome vice bindings or burton malavitas, im a intermediate rider, probably only get 10 days a year, dont do much park. mostly carve and dip into trees, glades sometimes. do you think this would work for me? if so would 158 or 162 be better?
Kind of helps if you give me your stats. For all I know you're 3'5 700lbs with a size 32 boot.
@@AngrySnowboarder im 6' 185#, size 12 boot...
@@bespey 62 and make sure your boots will fit on that thing.
any difference between this year's and last year's?? just the graphic?
Small tweak to the flex but not enough to make a difference.
How would this compare with the Burton One Hitter?
It's a little more playful and easier to engage with.
Ditto this whole review.
Avran how are you ? Hey what size you test this ? I see they bringing out a select model which I see is stiffer ...maybe absorbs more chatter ...I hope it doesn't make the board unplayful ... I'm 175cm tall and about 191lbs with a backpack or my armor on ... so what size ? I'm also riding 32 mullair boots in 10.5cm
The Select is only stiffer from the mid section back through the tail. Otherwise it rides almost entirely the same. I rode this in a 55.
@@AngrySnowboarder thanks my specs I'm thinking a 158 ... this be ok ?
Should be solid, wish that was the size they sent.
How does it compare to the gun spam? I own the spam but live in Waterbury VT, want to support local but worried about overlap?
It's different that's for sure. It's got a different flex and feel to it. While the Spam is kind of this weird amalgamation of freestyle carving board this is more your resort cruiser board that rips carves, can go in the park but won't be ideal, and floats in pow.
Thanks appreciate the content and replies
How does it compare to the jones frontier?
Slightly stiffer in flex, more directional, more aggressive sidecut, and better pow float.
Owner of a 154 warpig, there’s a 2020 Rome Ravine on sale for 30% off… is this a worthwhile add to the quiver?? Off to Japan this season!
Kind of a weak discount for a board that age.
@@AngrySnowboarder Yeah true? Would you say the quality in the board degrades or just due to being an outdated model??
Quality isn't degrading, but since then that boards changed twice. 30% is still less than what I'm seeing last years models marked down to.
Debating between this board or a Jones Flagship. Want to charge groomers and pow alike. Needs to carve nice as well. I'm 5'10 with 170lbs shoes around size 9.5. What size would you recommend?
Thanks for all the reviews chief, helps out a lot!
The Flagship is stiffer so it's a little more stable and can carve a bit more aggressively without getting pushed around in the chop. I'd say you're looking at something around 157ish.
I am 145 pounds and currently ride a 152 capita doa and want to get a ravine, I want it for my all mountain charge/fun board, what size would you recommend? 152 or 155?
55 if you want to charge more.
@@AngrySnowboarder cheers, in that case im gonna grab the Alek version:)
@Angry Snowboarder also debating sizes with this one... I am a bit lighter than Stijn (~130lbs), and Size 7 boots. I generally ride 155/156 for normal width boards, but the extra width on the Ravine is making me think I should downsize to the 52. I generally prefer a stiffer deck, so the Alek version is tempting me to go up to the 55, but concerned it might be too much board for my size. Appreciate the advice!
Would it be a worthy replacement of my ride alter ego
It'll be softer that's for sure. But definitely worthy.
Just purchased. Weooo
question: they're changing the shape slightly for next year and i also noticed it'll be a hair narrower.. do y'all think its an improvement or should i just pick up a 2020 on late season discount? i recall kevin particularly loves this sidecut, any concern for the change? any word if they changed much else?
Haven't ridden it yet and probably won't for a couple weeks. If you can get a good deal swoop it, it's a great board.
@@AngrySnowboarder likely will! at 153lbs 6' im really tempted to size down to 155.... sound risky or right on?
@@McStunna Lets put it this way I got about 50lbs on you and I can ride the 55 but it's just more flexible. I say go for it.
I’m 6 feet, 180 pounds, ride Ravine 155 and it feels just perfect, if my opinion matters )
@@AlexanderKontsevoy it honestly does! as you were typing that i was pulling the trigger hard haha... been getting weird with different pow shapes and short boards lately, psyched to add a more classic freestyle deck that'll still vibe with my freeride style. cheers!
Do you think the 158 could really handle someone that’s 230+ with size 10 boots or would they be better with the 162?
Oh god no.
@@AngrySnowboarder its me, I'm the someone. 230, size 10, 5'9. would I be better with the mountain patrol? looking for mostly fun on groomers but backcountry potential too. any other boards that would be good to check out?
@@peterbrown9597 Marhar Sasquatch, Ride Berzerker, Gnu Billy goat.
GNu fun guy coming out anytime soon?
Nope
Nimble quick turns with that shorter tail for tree riding? Anyone? :)
Yeah.
Thinking about picking this up for a do it all board that can handle powder. How does it compare to the burton skeleton key as thats my other choice?
It's softer than the Skeleton Key. So a lot more torsional flex which really lets you drive it through turns.
@@AngrySnowboarder so stiffer - less flex - harder to initiate - but more stable through chop? Question 2: I'm 160, 5'10, I got this board on sale in 158cm, mostly ride pow. Am I an idiot or is this more suited then the 155 for my case? you are the fucking man. I finally chose the Ravine probably watch 30 of your reviews. thanks buddy.
looks identical to a home town hero.
Except it's better.
I w i l l b u y one! Thanks for the review though
Damn, starting to question buying the National instead now...
The Good Ride kooks are saying this board has "not great response, not good edge to edge, a straightline-y feel to it".
The Good Ride kooks also boof dicks and don't know how to snowboard. You know not to listen to those morons.
@@AngrySnowboarder oh, for sure. Did you have more fun on this board than the National? Just picked a National up from 18/19 for an insane deal but this Ravine seems to be calling my name.
@@OneEightNate they are pretty different type of boards, the national better if you're gonna be in the park more, for the rest, I like the ravine better
@@stijndenouden3931 just picked up the Ravine. It's wayyy softer than I anticipated. I mean, I know that Rome overrated the flex, but this thing feels like an absolute noodle. Not sure if it's going to work out for me riding heavy PNW snow.
@@OneEightNate thats what i’m worried about.. did you end up getting another board because the ravine is too soft? Did this bother you on the groomers?
I know it´s a minor issue, but I think that Rome should work a bit in their graphics.
I like the simplicity. What would you rather they look like?
Rome ravine rk1 got one of the sickest graphic design ever
