I am looking at building a new snowboard set up. I want a board that can go anywhere but is still all mountain oriented. I have been looking at the Lib Tech TRS FP, T-Rice Pro, Arbor Element, and Burton Custom Flying V. I primarily ride in PA so I need to be able to have lots of control on the ice. When I go out west I like to ride the steep, ungroomed, technical terrain that we don't have on the east coast. Any opinion on which one of those I should get or any other suggestions?
(I am size 9.5-10 in boots, I weigh about 130lbs and a 154 goes up to my chin)
I already have the K2 Thraxis boots which I like because of the feel and adjustability.
My main problem is the bindings. I know that your bindings should fit your boot and your board however I do not know what flex to get. The K2 Thraxis are stiff boots. Should the bindings match the stiffness of the boot? If the bindings and boot are too stiff, will they sacrifice the butter abilities/other all mountain properties of the board? Could I get a slightly softer binding to even out the aggressiveness?
Thank you for your help. Sorry for the the amount of questions.
