thanks for your help
decided to get a more all around board and preorder a Zephyr Split in 163, Venture is a bit more than I wanted to spend but from everything Ive read their boards are built tough, I ride NS boards so Im looking for burly boards that can take a beating, especially for a splitboard. Im still going to go with the Karakorams but whos know I may change my mind a few times by then.
Ill be in CO so hopefully we can ride sometime
