Burton Ripcord vs Rome Ravine

How they compare

Both target all mountain terrain, while the Rome Ravine leans more powder. They share a directional shape — different nose and tail; built to ride forward with better float in powder and drive on groomers. The Burton Ripcord has a flat profile (neutral base between bindings; predictable, often paired with rocker toward tips/tail), while the Rome Ravine uses hybrid (rocker/camber) (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile). The Rome Ravine is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the medium range. The Burton Ripcord targets intermediate riders while the Rome Ravine is aimed at advanced riders.
