All I can say is I'm in love with this board 😁 It's rips. I should have bought the 158, but I'm still happy with the 159w though.
The 2026 Ravine has been outstanding so far. It's a nose press beast that's stable when you want it to be, poppy, and down for any type of riding. It's got a surfy, playful feel that can plow through any type of condition. It's also stable enough to charge with it when you want to. It's the type of board you'll confident riding, so you charge a little faster and ride a little bit harder. It really is the one board quiver.
I'll be writing the full in depth review of it over on the Board of the World site in the next few days.
The 24-25 Ravine deck in the 166 absolutely rips. This "mountain assassin" does it all extremely well and continues to impress with each run and day on the slopes. No matter how you ride, this deck will step up your confidence and continue to develop your riding skills. The Hotrods, 3D directional diamond, Free-the-ride camber and SinterStrong Base make this deck a full-blown jaw dropper! So all of that and with the steezy graphics from top to bottom...Fuhgeddaboudit!!!!!!!!! My only regret is not getting this Deck sooner. There is no other board that I want to be on every time I hit the slopes.
Perfect
for me boots 13 ,,
the 166 wide wow love it
Got a 158 Ravine paired with dod bindings. First Rome board and love it. Board rips pow in Telluride and very playful. Also holds an edge on east coast ice.
I own a 2020 and a 2023 Ravine. I was love struck after the first run on my 2020 last season. As you may expect, I bought a new one this season to get the newer version. I Love this board. Perfect.
What can I say about it ? If your back foot is placed on the ‘centering’ mark, the deck can change direction a bit too fast. So, place your foot closer to the front one. The hot rods can and will powerfully propulse you out of a carve turn. So be aware. The spoon/3D nose make for a forgiving entry, while the camber profile keep your feet on a rail.
Ahhh the Ravine ❤️ (I wrapped mine using a 3M film to protect the top sheet agains deadly ski poles and lost Jerry’s)
Straight up quiver killer, so fun to ride. I had an unlucky defect with my board, got in contact with the warranty team and it was a nice stress free experience. Steep, deep, lay out some carves, does great. It’s not designed to ride switch, don’t plan on doing it too much.
Great quality. Have been looking for something versatile and this looks like the perfect board. And the new bindings match!
Wauw how nice & pricise is this board. What an upgrade!
Best board I’ve ever ridden. So smooth transitioning from edge to edge. This board just floats!
I've ridden a lot of boards and a few have been immediately familiar and fun, this is one. First run felt like I'd ridden it many times. It is good at all the things I need in a daily driver: playful, stable at speed, great low speed maneuverability and this is my first board with any kind of 3D base and thankfully it still rails carves. Gonna be tough to reach for another board most days.
Rode it yesterday for the first time and this thing rips! Carving was smooth and precise. Going to be hard not to want to use this as my primary board. Can't wait to take this thing out in some POW.
My go to deck for easy pow days. Very easy and nimble to ride in the trees but can hold its own on the bigger stuff also. Also turns amazingly on hard pack groomer which was surprising.
I got to demo this board late last season in typical East Coast conditions. I usually ride a 55 but rode the 158 at the demo. What a blast! Railed on edge and super slashy on the sides. Super fun! 3D nose should definitely float it in the pow though I didn’t get to try it on that day.. Sick all arounder for sure. Solid edge hold but not too stiff to throw around in tight spaces. YEEEWWWW!!!!
Second ravine for me. Had a 155, then just purchased a 158. It's an amazing playful all mountain board that excels in the pow too.
I took my new ravine 162 out for some early season turns at Belleayre and found the board to be very responsive and so easy to maneuver. It did have some chatter heel side. It got up to speed with ease and no toe drag issues despite it not being a wide board and a size 13 boot. I am looking forward to the first pow day and see what it can really do.
A real do-it-all board for me. Mainly groomers and some freeride. It helped me a lot to rise my carving skill to the next level. Really stable, predictable but has the power if needed, mostly from the rear end. Due to its shorter lenght and middle-high flex you can reach it's limit at high speeds, where it feels a little less stable.
Very nice in the powder too.
The base is very durable, but the top sheet has some damage at the edges.

After a few days carving up groomers and playing in the park I was lucky enough to get some waist deep powder and this board absolutely delivers on its claim to be a quiver killer. Floats in powder and super fun wherever you want to take it. This board goes to 11.
Do your self a favour and buy one! Go on treat yourself ! Board dose everything and more !
Good quality and nice design can’t wait to ride it
Finally took my new Ravine out for first time today and all I can say is this thing is Killer! Its exactly what I was looking for as a one board - slay it all deck while pegging the stoke factor! I immediately felt dialed in with it and the ease of initiating turns was amazing. I mainly focus on carving it up and hunting out side hits. I found it to be very forgiving and stable on landing. Dying to get this thing in some powder. Conditions were basically NE hard pack with some icy stretches and this thing held with confidence.

The Ultimate All Mountain Slayer
I had a Rome Crail for years. It was time for un upgrade and I purchased the Rome Ravine 158. I shouldn’t have waited this long. The Ravine handles beautifully and has a nice quick pop to it. Incredible board. Rome did not fail!!
Trying to decide on the right board for this season wasn't easy. With the local hill known for it's steeps and deeps, there were lots of options to go for -- the Orca, the Satori, the Stratos ... the list goes on!
But I picked up a pair of Libertines last year, loved their comfort and response, and already had a pair of Katana's on order from the local shop (a high instep means most 'neutral' ankle strap positions on bindings aren't comfy to ride all day, so the adjustable straps on the Romes were a no-brainer).
So, I thought what the heck, let's go full Rome this year. The manager at the local shop recommended a Ravine as the right pairing for a freestyle-inclined freeride-ready stick, and I'm blown away by the quality of this thing.
From the second you open the box, you're struck by how good this board looks, how solid it feels, and the quality of the thing. Screw some bindings onto it and get it out on snow and jeez, man, it just comes alive. This is my first Rome board, and only a few days into the pre-season, I already know it's the thing I'm reaching for every day.
It's a little more playful I'm told than the Select version, but if you want to make the mountain a playground, I can't think of a better weapon!

This board is decent at everything. Butters, jumps, carving, pow, it does it all quite well. Would recommend for any intermediate rider looking to upgrade from their beginner boards.
Ridden the board 3 times so far and I love it
It works great in difficult conditions on snow moguls, on powder and on a prepared slope it also gives advice!
