hello. i've been riding for like a year and a half now (short time but i go often), with a (Very) cheap snowboard. i have a lot of money so i'm on no budget but i don't want to spend 500-1000 unless i really have to (and i'm guessing i don't have to). i'm looking for an 'all mountain' board.. my friends and I ride 'everything'. lots of the times in the woods/trees. sometimes in the standard slopes. sometimes powder, sometimes hard snow. once or twice a year, we'll go backcountry boarding. i followed my friend to a shop today and i saw cheap ish boards (brand new) and i talked with the saleman for a while.

there was the K2 standard and the rossignol circuit (both for less than 300$ CAD and it includes brand new bindings... indy and battle 6). so it seemed like a great deal for me.. i was thinking i would need to buy a used board but that seemed like a good price for brand new boards. i understand that the k2 standard and rossignol circuit are probably not 'high quality' but i'm sure i don't need high quality. what do you guys think of those boards.. great 'all around' board for intermediate rider?

i wear 11 US boots (so no need to buy a particularly wide board i think)? i'm 178 cm (5 foot 11 inches) tall and 165 pounds (75 kilos) so 156cm board is better than 166cm (they have 156 cm and 166 cm boards at the shop)? i think 156 cm is also better because we are often surrounded by trees and need to make quick slaloms (i'm guessing, i don't know if that's correct)?

the other option is buying a used board... i have a couple of good canadian websites and there a lot of nice looking deals : 300-500$ for the board, bindings and often boots (often the boards are in great condition and i'm guessing they'r worth well over 400-500$). lots of burton. but i'm wondering is burton really 50x times better than other brands, esp if you'r not a pro or anything.

thank you very much in advance for the replies

I have absolutely everything you could need for snowboarding.
Can put it all together in one package for you.

And you're done.

Can probably save you enough money to buy a seasons pass too:surprise:

I have good deals and awesome deals that's it.:grin:

Plus I live in Canada too. So there's no conversion rates and shipping within Canada is way cheaper.
