Hi. Im 6' 180lbs with a size 12 boot. Mainly using for all-mountain with a bit of park. Would a 162cm wide board be right for me?

Hey, I personally would rather have the 159cm and I'm almost the exact same size as you. However, I like to ride a bit more freestyle even when going all-mountain with some natural jibs, drops, spins, etc. If that isn't important and you just want to rip up the mountain with the occasional trip to the park, the 162 should be great.
