Hi,
Id like to ask you a question. I cannot decide between GNU Billy Goat 09/10 and Lib-Tech Dark Series 09/10 (164cm-Wide or regular size). Im 63, 176lbs, boots size 10.5. Im a fast rider, riding mostly on well groomed surface in Snowbird and other resorts in SLC. Im looking for a board that is stable to handle fast ride but at the same time is agile enough to make quick turns and occasional jumps no parks.
Which one would you recommend? Im open to any other suggestions when it comes to a brand or model but these two kind of fit my nature and my budget (I guess)
Thank you in advance for your answer.

 | Hey Vik,
In my opinion you boot size is right on the cuspe of getting into the wide board. And you are a pretty tall guy as well. I do think the GNU board might be too narrow. But, I also think that the Lib Tech board you were looking at is too designed for freestyle. By your description, I will suggest a freeride board.
I suggest you look at the Lib Tech TRS MTX.
It is an adv. intermediate - expert all mountain board. Which will rip the hill and still let you ride out switch from the jumps with its centered stance and twin shape.
