Need advice on buying my first board

Posted: 26 November 2011 03:02 AM

Hi

I am 5 ft 1, 105lbs. size 5 feet and I am searching for my first board!
I am an intermediate rider.  I am on the east coast (used to be in the vt area, now mostly at windham/hunter).  I like steep slopes with lots of snow and sometimes moguls. I like lots of speed with great control. I like knowing that I can turn and grab anything without chatter. I usually ride the mountains and although fresh snow is always a preference, some days its icy and groomed in most areas. I like catching air occasionally when opportunity presents, but never go into the park.

I was being recommended rissignol diva, but that’s outside my budget.  So now i am looking at rissignol temptation and justice.  Temptation seems to be more of a beginner’s board though?!?!

Looking forward to any advise and suggestions.

Thanks!!

P.S> I am getting the Flux GM30 binding and Burton mint boot.
