Boot Size (US): 10 (ThirtyTwo Lashed)
Bindings: Ride Rodeo (Large)
Riding Style (for this board): All Mountain Freestyle
Skill level: Upper end of intermediate Freeride, lower end of intermediate Freestyle
Mountains: I'll mostly be on small local "mountains" with 1k Vert but I spend 1-2 weeks at either Aspen, Whistler, or Park City every year with family.
Budget: $600

I already have a huge directional board for back country powder and now I'm looking for a resort board that can carve icy groomers in the morning, lap the park hitting large jumps and medium jibs all afternoon, and power lumpy groomers at the end of a crowded Saturday.

Based on some preliminary research CAPiTA Mercury, CAPiTA Outerspace Living, Yes the Greats, Yes Jackpot, Never Summer Proto Type Two, GNU Eco Choice, GNU Space Case, LibTech TRS HP, and LibTech Hot Knife all seem like good options but other suggestions are welcome. I know it won't really matter if I make the best choice or the 4th best choice, but I won't have a chance to demo before I buy so if I'm way off on something please let me know. Really I'm just looking for any input you guys have to offer.

Thanks :grin:

Since you mentioned carving groomers, I'd also check out the rossignol jibsaw HD, it has mellow mag tech for edge hold on the ice. If you want something less stiff get the regular jibsaw.

I'm not a fan of never summer boards on ice.

Yes Greats would be great. Burton custom twin too.

I've never ridden a capita so I can't comment on them.
