I've been burying myself in Snowboard information for the past few days and oh man is it way more than I would have expected. I think I have a basic understanding of many of the surface level options that exist like the type of snowboard, the camber/rocker, and the shape, but also know there is a lot that I don't know. I'm hoping I can get some advice on what board would suit me. I understand there is a lot of personal preference involved in that, but I'm not sure what my preference would be since I have only ever ridden one board. For context, I have only ever gone to the Flagstaff Snowbowl and used the boards they have for rent (and I'm not even sure what they are, but I assume they are beginner friendly). I think I want an all-mountain board, but beyond that, I am unsure.
I am unsure how to classify my skill level (evident by the title), so I will attempt to explain it. This last February, I ended off my last slope as confident as I had been thus far. I was on a blue, and I was able to travel down the entire slope, smoothly transitioning between heel and toe. I was making fairly wide turns as to not pick up too much speed, but I made it down about 90% of the slope without falling, though I did faceplant towards the very end. This was also only a single slope that went that well. The ones before still had a fair amount of falling or stopping to drop speed. I assume I am at the tail end of beginner or the beginning of intermediate.
Info about me:
Male
Height: 5'8
Weight: 130 lbs
Shoe size: 9.5
I appreciate any help
I should also add that I do not yet own any boots, and I understand that to be an important step in the process. Advice on that would also be appreciated :)
