Default difficult to choose a new board.... so help needed!

Hi there fellowaddicts......

On our last at christmas, to Tignes, France, i kind of broke my option
signature
So now i am busy searching for a new one to buy...
I am definitely in for a new freerideboard. A board to have plenty of fun in
the deep **** and is also good performing on the piste.
My signature was a really good board! Maybe a little on the stiff side , i
had a 164 maybe just a bit too long. I am 82 kg/180 180cm/5.90
Now i am kind of dazzled which board to choose.....
I have heard good news about the burton Malolo....but how does it ride on
the piste and is it durable?
Option is a favourite but a signature again? Or just a bit less stiff newer
design board like for instance the Option northshore or pintail legacy? And
the "old" Vinson sounds nice too........

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.

Grtz,

Jim

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).
