[Help for newb choosing board/boots/binding]

That's not a bad idea. I actually have a 164 Burton BMC that I could use.

Thanks for the reply.

I ride both days every weekend from Christmas to mid March and I would expect to have the carving board out at least half of one of those days.

When I first started boarding I used a forward stance but after doing my CASI qualification I moved to a duck stance (+15 -15) which is how they teach you to ride round here.

So I don't really want to muck around with that as I am really dialled in to that kind of riding on the T6. I'm really looking forward to doing something totally new.

I can carve perfectly on the T6 on a nice groomed blue run but I find myself running out of adhesion long before the guys on the Alpine boards.

Oh yeah and I cut my circulation off all the time.

I've been riding about 10 seasons, 25-30 days a year, on a regular board with soft boots. Currently I'm on a 159cm Burton T6 though I've been up to 164 and down to 156. My hills are Ontario hardpack and my style is mostly fast carving... I stay out of the park and pipe. However I always end up cranking my bindings way too tight in search of more stiffness so I figure it's time to try a carving board.

However I have little to no idea what to try. Currently I'm looking at a Prior 4wd, maybe 164cm or 169cm. As to boots and bindings, I have not the faintest idea. Can you guys help me out with a little advice about how to make a smooth transition?
