I have a Lib Tech La Nina 162 from 2012 and it’s time to upgrade. It was an improvement from my beginner Burton from 2002!

I board in Tahoe and Colorado. Size 10, 200 lb, 6’1. Intermediate level. I like groomers, powder days, and going in trees. I never really like the lib tech magne traction, and top sheet was poor quality from day one. I don’t want another lib tech.

I’m looking for a board that carves good enough on groomers. But mostly an extremely nimble and easy to turn in trees board that can also be fun on pow days, so great float a must.

I’m thinking: Yes hybrid, Yes pyzel, Yes PYL, Capita Navigator, Capita BSOD, Jones Mind Expander. Am I wrong on these, are there others? Any pro/con of the ones I listed vs what I'm looking for. I would be purchasing for next winter season once new models are out since I have no cash right now.
