Tomorrow I get to go pick out a new board for the season. I have narrowed it down to three boards: The Arbor Draft, Echelon Rounds, or the Rome Artifact, in no particular order. The price isn't an issue, I have enough money saved to cover. Here is some info about me:

I rode for the last half of the 2011-2012 Season, I can boardslide a ride-on rail, and handle small kickers. I can ride switch decently well, I am going to work on 1's and 3's this season.

Personally, I am 5'9'' and 125 Lbs.

I would like to stick in the 147-150 cm range, as I am very lightweight.

I mainly ride in slushy groomer park conditions, or the dreaded midwest ice-park.

Please post experiences or benefits for these boards. Sway my vote! Thanks in advance, and sorry about two similar threads in the same sub-forum so quickly.
