This question has been on my mind for the last two weeks and i need to decide on something so the boards dont sell out or anything like that... I cant decide on which board i want the summits ( i like the shorter board but i heard that the extruded base is not good), the snowjams, or i keep hear everyone saying that they really like the cannons ( i would prefer the heritage due to the 90cm) , what im asking is which out of these boards are going to be a good all around board and has anyone had experience good or bad on these. Input would be appreciated.

what kind of riding do you like to do? park, speed, carving, powder, moguls etc...??

how tall are you?

what experience do you have skiing, inline skating and skiboarding?

answer those questions and i'll be able to give you a better response.

later,

Sorry guess those things would be kinda helpful. Im 5' 10" and I weigh about 160. Im really looking for an all around board cause I like to do everything you mentioned, carving, park, speed, etc. Ive been ski'ing for the past 14 years and skiboarding for 4 so I would consider myself pretty experienced. Hope this helps.

since you're 5"10 and want all around boards but want to stay on the shorter side i would go with 90cm boards. the shorter you go the worse the boards will be for going fast and being able to hold an edge while carving at high speeds and for landing jumps. so that means heritage or snowjam. the heritage have a bit more flex than the snowjams which will make them better for carving. they are both great boards but the snowjams are on sale will all metal bindings which makes them the better deal.

let me know if you have anymore questions.

haha, i saw the mix's, sickest looking boards, i would love to have a pair just to hang on my wall, if i we're in your position i would grab the mix core boards, the shape of the boards and the tip and tail design is beautiful.
