I'm heavier than most people here: I'm 5'8" and 205-210 with a pretty athletic build and I was wondering if I should stick with 161cm or get away with a 157cm for all-mountain riding?
I usually ride a 160cm when I rent (this is my first board purchase) and it seems to do pretty nice for me. I don't want to go with a 157cm and be too heavy for it. Any help is appreciated, thanks!

I think the 157 is a bit too small for you. Go with a 160, it will be a better size for sure.
