The Full Review:
On this specific day, I wasn’t a big fan of the Ravine snowboard. I’d really like to revisit it on a nice powder day. The tail felt really big and clunky. It felt like it was catching on everything even after I had already passed those things on the ground if that made sense. I think it would be really fun to slash some fresh snowbanks and to get surfy-sideways. Unfortunately, with no new snow, I didn’t get to fully open up on this board.

The Good:
Seems like a great surfy pow board
The Bad:
Not great on icy/hard conditions. Feels catchy with the fat tail.
The Bottom Line:
Save this one for the soft snow!
