I dont know why the Element hasnt been mentioned here. the 09 161 alt wide is a great all-mountain board. I'm 6'0 220 lbs and That board has been my first choice for a while.

Arbor Element Alt 161

Another vote for the ALT (although I believe its renamed "Coda" now). I've got a 158 (6'0"/180lb) and love it in all conditions. The topsheet is all beauty, the base is all business. The Element (Koa topsheet) feels slightly stiffer to me. As other have said, Arbor doesn't make a bad board, but ask your doctor which Arbor is right for you.
