Well, I just got my new board. Its a Burton Custon wide 162.

My prior board was a 157, and I feel so weird having a huge board, but Im a big kid and I ride everything.

Im about 6'2" 190-200 lbs and my show size is 13, hence the reason for the wide board.

I ride mostly everthing. Some boxes and park jumps here and there, and just go all over the resorts (Park City, Brighton).

I am really wanting to get into some more backcountry and powder riding, so I guess a big board isnt so bad.

Well, back to the topic.

About what width should my stance be?

I have all the angles for my bindings figured, but I cant decide on how I want my width set up. I know a wider stance is best for jibbing and park, but I only spend like 20-30% of my time doing park.

I measured a comfortable stance earlier this week and it was 18" from disk to disk. But that seemed too small. I am going to mess around with it more, I just thought I would ask for some input. Is that ok for my type of riding? Is that how I should measure it?

Thanks for any and all input.
