Arbor Coda or Blacklist?

Hey all,

New to the board here but not new to the board. 2 weeks ago, my setup (Rome Anthem, Flux TT30 bindings) was jacked while I was in the lodge for drinks. Luckily I kept my boots on, or, I probably would have lost those too... So i''m looking for a new ride.

I''ve been riding for awhile (10 seasons now) but due to my only getting to a mountain about 3 times a year, i''m firmly stuck in the intermediate category. I''m looking to change that, but for now that''s where I am. I''d say I spend 90% of my time free riding the mountain, cruising down high speed groomed trails, hitting steep and deeps when I can find them, and recently starting to hit glades and the sides of trails. Mostly because I chase my skiing friends who are better than I am. I do spend some time in the parks, but I never get comfortable enough around the mountain in my short season to really work on much. If I get enough in on the season to improve, i''ll probably look into more park time, but I don''t think its ever going to be my main pull.

I''m doing some more research this time around and pretty much have it narrowed down to the Arbor Coda or Arbor Blacklist. I know the Coda is geared more toward all terrain, but I like the graphics (and the price) of the Blacklist better. I wear an 11 boot so I''m thinking i''d be fine on either of those, but maybe a bit better on the mid-wide.

Any thoughts? I''d also be open to other board recommendations and/or binding combos based on the above.

Thanks everyone and happy shredding,

Jeremy
