Hey Guys,

I think I'm settled on the TRS BTX but am really up in the air between the 154 or the 157. Any input you guys can give me would be much appreciated. I'm right in the middle weight wise (155 lbs) and have been riding a RIDE 156cm for the last 5 years or so. So the question remains, 154 or 157??? I'm not in the park much and prefer just cruising through the trees. Any ideas? Pros/Cons? Will I even notice anything?

I am 5' 10" and about 140. I ride the 154 in everything from overhead pow days to groomer days at Snowbird. The BTX makes a smaller board ride bigger in pow and still allows you to be able to move in chop or on groomers. Hope this helps

Thanks man. I bet in the long run I won't even notice the difference between 3cm, I'm just getting neurotic about the decision. I'll pull the trigger and just do it already. I can't go wrong with Lib Tech right?

Sounds to me like you should go with the 157. This extra length will help you plow through some deeper snow and slush. If you were focusing on park more, the 154 will do fine.
