New Women's Board: Burton Feelgood ES or Arbor Push?

Hello,

I've been snowboarding for 10 years, am a snowboard instructor and consider myself advanced, and I am ready to upgrade my 154 K2 Luna. I'm interested in an advanced women's board and can't decide between the Burton Feelgood ES and Arbor Push. I'm looking for an all-mountain/freeride board for powder, backcountry runs, carving at high-speeds on groomers, and the occasional jump; I don't spend much time in the park or pipe and don't want something too flexible. I am 5'6" and 140 lbs.

I haven't been able to find a comparison between the Push and ES and would appreciate any suggestions and experiences people have had with the boards.

Thanks for your time!

Feelgoods are great all round

Feelgoods are great all round boards but I'd go with the arbor for your needs, it's a solid board for groomers and great on powder it holds sturdy really well has got some solid camber. if you were saying you'd be doing all mtn and park i'd say maybe feel good but no, go with the arbor, it's a great board and you'd love it, i've tried arbors and i'd get em for powder and straight riding.

both have sintered bases, wood cores, one has a bamboo topsheet and the other a vaporskin topsheet- whatever that is. the burton does have a carbon 1 beam down the middle but im not so sure you'll need it bc the arbor is still pretty dope. that's my input.

New Women's Board:Burton Feelgood ES/Arbor Push/Nidecker Princes

I've also got the same question, just adding the Nidecker Princess to the mix too.

I'm currently riding a Saloman Ivy 151, but would like to advance also. I'm 5'5'1/2, around 125 lbs. Love to go fast thru everything--from powder to mogul fields. I like jumping too, but haven't ventured too much onto the rails yet. Can't find comparisons between 2008 Arbor Push, Buron Feelgood ES and Nidecker Princess boards. Any suggestions and comments would be awesome!
Thanks much!

for you i'd say either try the nidecker- i've heard super good things about it or stick to good ol burton which guarantees a bunch. it is a definite good board and it'll help you with those rails. But I might check that nidecker out, i havent read the stats on it.
