I've been ridin for a couple years now and think its time...

By jdiggedy Ranked #568 - All Mountain Snowboards May 13, 2009

I've been ridin for a couple years now and think its time to get a board. I'm an intermediate rider and i think the clash is a solid choice for me because I'm still developing as a a rider. I'm 5'8, 170lbs and have generally been ridin 151's when I rent, but I'm looking to ride more powder so I'm not sure if i should stick with the 151 or go with the 155. Any suggestions?

and if you have any other boards to recommend that'd be tight too

It depends on how much powder you plan on riding in contrast to park riding. This board will be good for a developing park rider, but if you're more all-mountain oriented, or more powder specific, this board won't cut it where you're going. Either way, if you want powder, a longer board will be better; the 155's a good idea. As far as this board's performance in the powder... that may be shaky.
