I'm currently riding a 2009 Lib Tech Skate Banana 151.
I live in Alberta(west), my riding style consists of mostly groomed and with some pow days. I will hit the park ever so often to attempt jumps and rails/boxes. But the plan is to get better at park as just free riding down the mountain can get boring. However I will probably do 50/50 still so I'm looking for a all mountain board.
The skate banana was good but it didn't feel to be the most stable at higher speeds. It is a softer board and i guess more park oriented but I didn't know better at the time and jumped on the bandwagon of the skate bananas.
It's that time again for a new board and I've got my eyes on a 2013 model Burton Custom Flying V snowboard. I'll also be getting new bindings, got my eyes on the EST Cartels.
Now the question is.. Anyone from from Alberta ridden the custom flying v and is it suitable for our snow conditions?
Also, this particular 2013 model I am eying is a 148. Is this a good size for me if I am 5'5 and 140lbs? Because it is a shorter board than my current one, will this make it more unstable at higher speeds or will it be fine since its a hybrid camber-rocker-camber type deal. To my understanding, a longer board is more stable at higher speeds correct?
Thanks in advance, hoping to get out there soon with a new board!
