Default Donek boards?

Ok guys, maybe I don't have my snowboard terms correct. I just know at
Whistler it can get real bumpy, especially because they don't groom the runs
much. When I start to hit a lot of the bumps, my board has a tendency to
"launch" and I get air, land in the middle of a bump and crash. Like I
said, maybe I am not good enough yet to handle this and it is probably a
matter of technique. I have ridden softer boards with more flex and had an
easier time on the bumps.

I hope this makes some sense.

Please explain what you mean by choppy snow and the problem you have
experienced with it.

I find my Wide 161 to be far better in what I would call choppy snow. My
old board would bounce (flex and rebound). My Donek slices right
through.
