Again i want to enjoy the powder but, the board gotta have good
performance
on the piste too, i like a board which floats well, picks up speeds
fast, is
stable and has good maneuverability to make fast turns in trees and
narrow
chutes.
So can anybody help me out here? Or has other suggestions.

Go to groups.google.com and do a search on "Big mountain" and the
"Option Northshore" to find a bunch of posts that discuss boards you
might be interested in. To be more realistic in your needs, you should
probably prioritize what capabilities are most important to you
(floatation, tight turns, stability, etc).
