Wauw how nice & pricise is this board. What an upgrade!
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.
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.
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.
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)
