Rome Anthem SS - 2012
The Anthem SS is a serious piece of snowboarding hardware, everything that goes into this one board army is designed to give it a powerful flex and unmatched edge hold. CarbonBiax laminate fuses the benefits of Carbon and Basalt fibres for an immensely snappy ride , there is Kevlar reinforcement running from the bindings to the start of the effective edge to eliminate unwanted chatter and improve control and Carbon Torque Hotrods run between the bindings arching out to the sidecut at the waist. Basically the Rome Anthem is so pumped full of reinforcement it will blast through anything and the Nano Carbon sintered base ensures it all happens at brutal speeds.

I’ve taken this out many times this year, and it is a sick ride. Super-fast, stiff, and hard-charging. Being a low-snow year in much of the Rockies I have yet to truly test the pow capabilities of this board, but I suspect it will be excellent.
I have had some trouble with grip on hardback and ice, as well as slippage on flats. Perhaps a stance adjustment will get more edge on the ground to circumvent that.
