Rome Blue - 2010
Roll-up, roll-up. Come see the all-mountain spectacle that everybody’s talking about. A modern miracle, the eighth wonder of the world, a snowboard that will take intermediate to advanced riders confidently over the whole mountain, from deep powder-laden tree runs to icy pipe and slushy kickers. Perfect for anyone who doesn’t fancy having to go back down the hill to change their board at lunch so they can ride park in afternoon, having ridden powder all morning.
Manufacturer's Description:
If your current deck is a played-out dud that fails to excite, step on the Blue and get down with its high-tuned power. Upgraded for 2010 with the Superpop Core Matrix and its superlight LDC Technology, the Blue also features a ton of carbon pop and locked-on edge control. The undisputed champ of cliff-dropping, pow-slashing, groomer-menacing, tree-dodging snowboarding.

Snowboard Review:
An adrenaline-fuelled bullet which will fire you anywhere you point it, just don’t start an avalanche. The word on the street was that the Rome Blue is the ultimate choice for female riders, so I had to try it out to see what the hype was about, and it seemed to love whatever was thrown in its way. I came off a massive powder line with a big grin as it cruised so fast through the fresh stuff, and then took me straight on piste without batting an eyelid… and I never felt out of control. It was an adrenaline-powered ride, and I had as much fun turning as I did flat-lining. It seemed to love the park too, and helped me land on my feet like a cat, completely controlled. I think any level of female rider could get something out of the Blue, whether you want to improve your park riding or gain confidence in powder. Is the hype worth it? Definitely. Would I ride this again? Obviously. Should you get this board? Er, yes siree.
