My wife recently baught me the following combo for christmas Arbor Crossbow with Flow M9 bindings. I have been a skier for 20 years and looking to try something new and enjoy the comfy boots. I feel that I will pick it up quickly as I am still young and in good shape. Is this a good combo for an all-mountan board that will perform once I move beyond the beginner level? I have also heard mixed reviews on the flow bindings, should I move to a more standard style of binding?

You should have no problem with that setup especially since you are just starting. The flow bindings will actually help you save some time from strapping in. Since you are a skier you've seen all the snowboarding sitting down and strapping in. With the flows you can just step in and lock the high back in place. You just have to make sure you dial in and set your boot in the binding before you head to the mountain. Make sure it is all strapped in. The board is a good board. Heard lots of good stuff about arbor and I plan on trying out some of their equipment. So good luck and shred the mountain.
