Whats a good size for a board like this? I'm 5'10", 190lbs, average build. I heard its best to get a really long size for a powder board... which makes sense. Should I go with the 172cm? Any opinions or comments?

I am about your size and i ride a burton triumph 169, its a really similar board, and it rocked the powder. What you need to ask yourself is what type of pow you are going to ride. If yoyu are going to hit the steep and deep, go with the 172. You will appreciate the extra float, along with some better rooster tails coming up behind you. However, if you are going to be rocking the tree scene, take the 167. If you get stuck, which happens alot in the trees, it will be easier to get going again. Also, lower swing weight will make for tighter, quicker turns to get around that unexpected stump.
