Had and really enjoyed the Lib EJack Knife, which I believe is a more directional version fo the Box Knife? That C3 is good for hauling it on big hills for sure. I've not tried any asym boards.....

I'm 6 ft and 210 lbs with 12's. So, I have had to experiment some. I've been riding a loooong time and used to think only stiff, full camber boards were all you need.. Now for here at home, I ride an older Never Summer Heritage in 159W. Its a medium stiff that is a rocker camber combo that I feel best.

When I head out west for the month of January, I have refined my travel boards to three:

Yes PYL in 160W - I use this on more open face, steeps or if its going to be blue, just flying groomer laps.

Never Summer Instagator in 156 - This was the softest board I had ridden and is a medium flex. The setback stance, flex and camber profile they call their shaper series is the most fun all around board I've ever had. Just love that thing in about any condition. Was shocked I could ride it so well that small. I ride this most every day. Takes on everything from a groomer through crud and even leftover pow.

Jones Storm Chaser in 157 for Pow days and cat trips. I had been using a Jones Hovercraft. Its also a great board, but I didn't enjoy it in tighter trees as well as I'd have liked. The Storm Chaser is a unique profile of more rocker with a big spoony, beveled nose. I had some sessions last season on it that were the most fun I'd ever had in deep snow. It just rails turns and floats for days.

Had all three of them in the Montana machine at EdgeWerks in Steamboat for their special bottom treatment. If you have never had a competent operator run one of your boards through the Montana machines, you owe it to yourself and your riding to do so! They will fly!

Arbor Coda Camber 159, like the grip tech and stiffness, never wash out on it.
