I’ve been snowboarding since ‘06 and just moved to Denver and looking to buy a board.  I consider myself an intermediate boarder as I have made 1-2 trips each year.  I’m looking for a solid all mountain board as I usually stick to groomers and trees.  I’ve rode the Rossi magtek one and Libtech T. Rice last year and liked both.  I’m 5’7” and 150lbs, so i’m considering a 153.  I’ve been looking at the Libtech T. Rice and attack banana as well as the Rossi magtek one.  What do you think or would you recommend different boards for my level of riding?

It’s Christmas eve - you might need to be a bit more patient but it’s generally worth the wait.

Hi Adams,

you already rode both of the boards you mentioned, the Rossi One Mag and the LibTech T.Rice, and you liked both of them.
So there’s really not much left to say.. The One as well as the T.Rice will be really good for your kind of riding, as you probably already noticed. Both are really decent boards and all I can say is go with the board you felt most comfortable on.
I can just give you general advice about the boards (and they definitely are both great!) but nobody can tell you exactly what board you will feel most content with.

Merry x-mas, cheers
Tobi

Thanks Tobi….the decision ended up being made for me.  My GF bought me the T. Rice for X-mas.  What a christmas present….ay!
