Burton Malolo Snowboard
March 9, 2009
Would the 158 Malolo be hard to turn in the trees? I'm 5'6", and about 190-195lbs geared up with pack. Based on weight alone I'd go with the 158. My regular board is a 159 T6. Just wondering if there would be a big difference in the trees between 154 & 158. Tree riding would only be occasional though (5-10%). I just got back from Silverton (bowls and chutes, but also some tree runs) and a Malolo probably would have served me well there (my T6 was OK - SMX would have been better). I'm just thinking a 154 sounds short. Especially considering the weight range Burton recommends for it. But at the same time, B also recommends downsizing 3-6cm from a regular board (which is my 159 T6).So what is recommended - a 154 or 158 Malolo?

Would the 160 be hard to turn on the trees? I'm 5'6", and about 190-195lbs geared up with pack. Based on weight alone I'd go with the 160. My regular board is a 159 T6. Just wondering if there would be a big difference in the trees between 156 & 160. Tree riding would only be occasional though (5-10%). I just got back from Silverton (bowls and chutes, but also some tree runs) would have served me well there (my T6 was OK - SMX would have been better).156 or 160 SMX?

Patagonia Powder Bowl Jacket - Men's
January 15, 2009
Knowing that Patagonia doesn't publish W/B specs for the jackets (why, I'm not sure - maybe because they know their H2NO can't measure up to Gore-Tex??) - any idea what the breathability rating for the Powder Bowl jacket would be (which is 2-layer H2NO). Thnx.
