Default Would a beginners board work for deep powder?

I have been riding a 162cm Burton Canyon. I just saw a used 160 cm K2

the powder on the steeps. Would the K2, with its softer flex, be an
easier (better?) ride in the deep soft stuff?


I took it out today in 23" of new "powder" today at Stevens Pass. Had a great
day - it definately made a difference in the deep - easy to turn, loks better
lift - although I did get stuck a few time in the flatter stretches.
