D.T.

Randy - thanks for the offer! I might have to figure out a way to take you up on that offer. No, I cannot find anyone that demos either of those boards and I have a relatively short timne window. Early February I will be spending a day at Durango Mountain Resort (formerly Purgatory) and then several days at Wolf Creek. Colorado is finally having a good snow year. Southern CO is at ~160% average snowpack!!!:D I flexed the 4807 in the store. The nose was definatley soft, but the tail felt fairly burly, i.e. similar to the tail on my 4x4. I have considered rinding the 4x4, but it is 169cm and at my size, I need all of the float that I can get. I have condidered selling the 4x4 since in four years I have not figured out how to ride it in the bumps or steep trees (then again, if I am riding that terrain it is at Mary Jane). Thanks for your input!

I am thinking about purchasing a powder board. At this point the two I am considering are a Rad Air Tanker 182cm or a Dynastar 4807 178cm. Anybody have first-hand experience with either of these boards? I weigh 210lbs and I want to do some back country with the board as well as the occasional day of lift service. I would rather error on the side of too long rather than too short. :D What are everyone's opinions???
