When youre standing in line an hour before the lift opens and there are freshies as far as the eye can see, you want the reverse-camber Rome Notch 1985 Snowboard at the ready. This ultra-light powder hunter has the float, the pop, and the stability to make your season a platinum hit. The bamboo-reinforced Airpop Core pops off lips with minimal effort, while Zylon laminate stringers add even more snap in your shred. Rome added a SinterSpeed base for gap-clearing speed, and a Mountain edge bevel for transfer power without the twitch.
