Boards i liked:

Im looking mostly at the burton custom camber 158, burton aftermath 158 and the volkl squad prime 158
any suggestions and or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance Jack
If you're looking for a mainly groomer bomber, and you liked the Custom camber and Vapor, another option would be the Custom X.any suggestions and or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
I also bought a Juicewagon recently and have been quite surprised on how fun it is in various conditions. I had a chance to ride it in pretty much all conditions and it seems to really be a well rounded board.You might find that the Burton Juice Wagon could fit your needs, maybe it's one board that can do both things you are looking for. I bought one at the end of this season and so far have only had it out in icy crappy groomer conditions, which it handled very well. It's main purpose is powder, which I haven't ridden it in yet, but I presume that it will be good in powder since that's what it's mainly made for. With the juice wagon you might not find yourself needing a powder board unless you're in to mega deep stuff where perhaps the fish is the way to go.
I have a vapor as well, and if you liked the vapor on groomers I expect you would like the Juice Wagon too, I found them similar, and due to the camber, I liked them both better on hardpack/ice than flying V boards (of which I have two as well - something's gotta give I know).
Otherwise Custom X also a good choice, or vapor or regular custom camber, although these would lead you more so to two board setup with something else for powder. Burton process camber also a possibility, good price point but a tad softer.
