which board should i buy for high speeds and hard landing in powder and groomers

Ride Highlife UL? Custom X is full camber which isn't ideal for powder, and the HP is just expensive, to the point I don't think it's worth the money. Highlife is stupid smooth, really powerful, and the bit of rocker in the nose will pop it up pow. For a bit more mobility look at the Berzerker.

I'd take a Nitro Blacklight over the HP too. Another is the Salomon Man's board.

So what if all of these boards could be had for the same price ?
