The 2020 Rossignol Sashimi LG Snowboard Review

By Angrysnowboarder @angrysnowboard · On August 15, 2019

Board: Rossignol Sashimi LG

Size: 156

Camber Option:Amptek Elite. 60% camber under foot with 40% rocker in the nose.

Bindings: K2 Indy

Stance: 21.5 Wide 15 Negative 12 Goofy

Boots: K2 Thraxis Size 10

My Weight: 195lbs

Resort: Copper Mountain

Conditions: COLD!!! It was hovering around 0 to negative degree temps, overcast skies, high winds, fresh snow in the trees and on the sides of runs where it wasn’t groomed, and of course it was fucking cold as balls.

Flex: This board has a reverse directional flex that’s based off being a more mellow version of the one on the XV this means that you have a stiffer nose and a softer tail. What you get though with this board is a lot of flex in the nose that stiffens up by the front insert pack and progressly softens up to the tail. This means that you can ride it a bit more centered on the board and not worry about it getting bucked around. What I will say is that the torsional flex is a bit lacking which makes the board a bit of a chore to drive in tight trees so bring your A Game.

Stability: This board was super stable in choppy terrain. It just cut through anything in its path. While you will notice some chatter in the end of the nose it does not resonate back on this board which makes it awesome for just charging harder.

Ollies/Pop: Having camber under foot you can really load this board up to pop. Sending side hits was super fun and popping rollers takes no effort. The one thing to note is that while this has more tail than the Sushi you still end up losing a bit of performance off the back foot with how short it is.

Butterability: I attempted no less than 3 nose butters on this board. You have to find a fair amount of soft snow to get it to lock in and go. Then again this board isn’t made for buttering.

Carving: Do you like effortlessly carving? Good, this board is just that effortless. You can really lay it over on edge and get it to drive in with ease. It locks in and holds the carve through the apex of the turn. The edge to edge transmission is smooth and nimble. This board was fun to carve on a groomer.

Rider in Mind: Resort powder hunter that wants a mid level volume shifted board.

Personal Thoughts: Well it’s definitely not the XV and it’s definitely not the Sushi. This is a board that fits perfectly in the spectrum and it’s great for a resort rider that wants to crush wide open pow or get into trees. It wasn’t the best in the overly tight trees we have here in CO, but when they were more evenly spaced out this board just sent it. On groomers this board just fucking rips!

    Had my eye on on this board for a while. I’m 185 lb but only 5 foot 6. Don’t know if I should go with the 152 light or the 156 regular

      Unless you have a really small foot, get the regular.

    8.5 boot. Pow surfing and surf style boards are my jam. Could I get more playful on the 152?

    For the 160 how wide is the rear width of the board where the binding mounts are ? Size 12 boots?

      I thought they made a wide version that will fit a 12, I’m too lazy to look it up this morning, but double check that there’s a wide version because I’m pretty sure the regular one might be a tight squeeze.

      Definitely the 60.

    Will the 156 with its 262 mm waist fit my 11.5 foot? Especially wondering about the back foot, as it seems kinda narrow there for a 0° stance.

      Should be fine unless you’re slapping it all the way back on the last insert pack.

    The XV Sashimi LG seems like such a great single board quiver for someone who rides powder at the resort, and groomers when no powder. Would you say it’s more like a pow board that carves, or a carving board that floats pow? Love that taper btw!

    I’m 5’8”, 140. sz 9 boot.

    I’m torn between the 52 and 56. Are you supposed to size down on this board or ride it like your normal length board? (Which would be 155ish for me)

    • Angrysnowboarder says: December 5, 2019 at 9:37 am

      Size down, get the 52.
