i am very interested in getting this board.
i go to Hokkaido, Japan every year for about 40+ days. I am usually in the backcountry for about 30 days and the rest of the days I'm at a resort.
As you may all know, Japan is infamous for their dry pow. I know that this is a more of a park board, but since it does really well in pow, is this board OK for me.
I am thinking about the 156. I'm 5'7 and 150 lbs. Is this the right size nanner for me? I usually ride a 157.

Thanks and looking forward to your reply.

if u were just riding park id say get the 152 but since ur not the 156 is a great choice for pow/mountain riding and even if u want to hit the park a few times

its great in the pow, the 156 would work for you although if you don't do a lot of park riding you should consider the T Rice and the Dark Series, they have C2 BTX which is also great in pow but has added stability for freeriding and going fast
