My advice would be to just buy one. I love mine. Spent the weekend in Aspen on spring conditions riding my 182 Axis - what a great board for corn and sugar snow. I think it extends my enjoyment of carving an extra month or two in the spring (think
A-basin in May). I also take it out for carving later in the day when the groom is crap, or when there is less than 6" of fresh in regular. Am glad I got the longer length also. A very solid ride and fun, fun, fun.
