I'm 6'5", 200 lbs with a size 12 boot. I was an intermediate/ advanced all mountain rider but haven't had much time to go in the last 6-7 years. My last deck was a Ride Control 163 and I'm looking to upgrade. I'm comparing the Arbor Crossbow 166, Arbor Roundhouse 163 and Arbor Roundhouse 167. For my size and preferences is one of the lengths and styles of board preferable for me? I don't do much park any more but still enjoy steep hardpack, powder, trees and the occasional mogul field. Any thoughts?Best regards, Matt

I think your best bet is the Roundhouse 167. You sound like a pretty big guy, so the wide board and the extra few cms will help with floating in pow. Also, the roundhouse is less of a park board then the crossbow, it's bamboo topsheet is engineered to give you super edge control.
