Hey guys first post here and just looking for some much needed help. I have been riding for over 8 years now and I am looking into getting a new board. I'm heading off to college in NY this fall and I grew out of my old board. I'm looking for a board that's more the freeride style I prefer carving down the mountain at speed than hitting the park.
Here is my basic info:
Weight: 145
Hight: 6 ft
Boot size: My sneakers are 11s and my old boots were 10.5 or 11s also so I think I'm going to need a wide board.
Riding Style: Most of what I'm going to be riding is groomed but if there is powder anywhere at the Mtn I'm at I am going to be there. I also like the steeper terrain as well.
Age: 18
Budget: At the moment don't have a set budget but for a board boots and bindings trying to keep it under 1000$ or there abouts.
My main location of riding will be in the north east but if I can get anywhere west I will be going.
I have gone to Copper Mtn, Breckenridge, Vail, and Killington. Each time I found myself in the powder (when there was any) at a bowl somewhere. Or on steeper terrain. Thanks for the help in advance!
Edit: I have been looking for boards for about a week now and most of the stuff I have found (at least the Wide boards) all seem to be for the park or beginner/intermediate snowboarders. I am looking for a more advanced board that has rocker-camber-rocker (I think based on the research ive done) One of the better boards Ive found so far was the Signal Omni Light but I think its a bit short and not wide enough for my build. I also just dont know enough about the different brands anymore to know which ones are quality and which others have fallen off a bit. Because the last thing I want to do is buy a board and the quality to be horrid.
