Since your an advanced rider my personal opinion would be to get a directional damp all mountain board and some cushy bindings with canting. Less chatter and less work for carving plus it will plow thru rough terrain. A flexible board might have your knees working to hard to control it. :dunno:

Thanks for both of your replies.
I was researching a bit more and found that never summer boards have a good dampening system. Always had roxy boards..
The Infinity board is a directional twin with a RD2 dampening system Never Summer Infinity Snowboard - Women's | Backcountry.com
And the onyx(true twin) which I like the design better.. has a ODS dampening system.

Anyone with an idea of which system is best? Or should I stick with the directional twin with the infinity?
I looked up Bataleon boards. The Feelbetter is the board in my size. But, I can't find any vibration reducing feature unless that is what TBT is. I am not familiar with the company. The price is better though
Bataleon
I have Burton stiletto bindings now, but my friend has the Burton Lexa which I will try to see if it makes any difference cushion wise.
Thanks again!

Mystery2many- I am going to go to a board shop and check out the Infinity and Onyx boards. I am leaning towards the Infinity as you recommended. I will also look into Escapade bindings. Looks like its going be an expensive season!
Anticrobotic -I go to the gym 3 to 4 days a week. So, it isn't an issue of strength or fatigue. I looked up the Sims wedge board, but it is 150, I am in the range of 142-145. Thank you though.
jdang307 - I checked out the Harshmellow board for women's, but unfortunately, I literally only have $500 to spend from saving up. It goes over that with tax :/ Thanks for the suggestion though.
CassMT- I think I am going invest in the g form pads this year. I am trying to get everything I can to have a more enjoyable ride. It is expensive to buy a whole new setup this year at once. But, it will be worth it in the end.
wrathfuldeity- Never have tried any of that, with the exception of beer
but will look into that. Thanks!

Not sure anything short of a stiff brace from a doctor is going to help. Isn't the g form pads just for impacts?Mystery2many- I am going to go to a board shop and check out the Infinity and Onyx boards. I am leaning towards the Infinity as you recommended.

Yeah too bad you're not a 152cm rider because they have the K2 Eco Lites for $300 or less for last years.
Harshmellow can also be used in a binding and boots. So if you Harshmellow all 3 (board, boots bindings) it might help. But that is a hefty investment.
