By Ranked #32 - All Mountain Snowboards March 9, 2009

Would the 160 be hard to turn on the trees? I'm 5'6", and about 190-195lbs geared up with pack. Based on weight alone I'd go with the 160. My regular board is a 159 T6. Just wondering if there would be a big difference in the trees between 156 & 160. Tree riding would only be occasional though (5-10%). I just got back from Silverton (bowls and chutes, but also some tree runs) would have served me well there (my T6 was OK - SMX would have been better).156 or 160 SMX?

im 6' 185 and i ride a 163 element in trees. about 70% of my time riding is in the trees and it does just fine for me. i hate groomed runs, too many people.
