If you are not picky, then buy a factory board. If you have an old board, or find a new board that you really like/have experience with you can always get it split by Mountain and Terrain Technologies. Most people split their old boards because they know exactly how they respond/ride. plus the price is less expensive.

You should ride something similar in size to what you already ride in powder. If you're going to split your own, you may want to just turn your current board or one similar into your split board. If you'd like to ride a bigger splitboard for powder, do so. Buy a splitboard the same way you'd buy a regular board. Make sure your foot doesn't hang over your board and it is the right length for the style of riding you'll be doing.
