Basically you're jumping 10cm's if you went to the 67. Thats a lot of work to ride that board. I regularly ride stuff that big but only for certain situations. The 62 is going to be better suited as an all mountain board for you, now if you're riding a lot more of the Whistler Pow and taking the tow rope to the top and hucking cliffs you might want that 67 for the extra float on that heavier coastal snow.

Hi All,

Been browsing for a while and thought I may be able to contribute here. Thanks to all for all the good info I have picked up here recently.

Hi Shytowns,

I think those above me are giving you right advice..

I am 6,3 and 96kgs (200ish pounds)have been riding a 168 since 2003. I found this forum whilst looking for some good reviews on a mid-wide around 160-162.

I have had alot of fun on my existing board particularly on powder days. Lately as my skills have improved I have been wanting something more responsive on the groomers and in the bumpy stuff and better for the occasional park runs - more of an all mountain board.

I will probably still cart my 168 around for the big powder days such as I found in Japan as it truly excels in those conditions.

Cheers

Thanks guys so much for all the input! Although I will be hiking some of the bowls I won't be doing it enough to justify the 67 I think and an all mountain is really what I'm looking for! You guys have really helped out.

I am 6'5" - 6'6" and about 180lbs. I am going with a 164W board. Hope that helps. Longer = better in pow. Shorter = better in park.
