Hi,
I'm looking for a freeride/powder board, something to use in resort on powder days. Ideally something good to bomb/carve on piste too, as it would fill another hole in the quiver, but I don't want to sacrifice powder performance for this so as long as it rides decently on piste i'm good.
A smooth ride, and good at plowing through chop/tracked pow is a priority as my knees aren't great.
I'm intermediate/advanced riding 70 days a year, size 28.5 mondo (10.5 US) feet, 155lbs.
Boards/sizes I'm looking at
K2 Ultra Dream 161 (2014) - Can get a good deal on this, but I already have a turbo dream and I'm worried it will be too similar. Also, it's nice to try something different. I do really like the turbo dream in powder though, its been my all mountain/powder board for the past few seasons and its a bit beaten up so I'm considering splitting it.
K2 peacekeeper 159 (2014)
Jones Hovercraft - used 156 (2014) or new 164 (2015) - too big?
Slash Straight 159/161 (2015)
Rossignol XV 163 (2015)
Burton barracuda 161 (2014)
Board will be used all over the mountain, trees, wide open, chutes, drops etc.
Currently own K2 turbo dream 156 (on i'ts last legs) and a Rossi jibsaw 155
So which of these boards do you guys think I should go for? which is best for blasting through chop? What about sizing? Any advice welcome but I'm pretty set on these boards as I've found good deals on them and I don't want to make the decision harder then it already is!!
Cheers
