The 62 has a waist width of 25.9 and it doesn't look like they do a wide?

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

it's about 7 or 8mm wider than my current board.
everything i've looked at is a compromise somewhere. no one seems to make a board aimed at old farts who just want to bomb about the mountain with little effort

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Carving + powder = compromise. Get the Blackout I reckon, I'm sure you won't be disappointed seeing as us... ehem older holiday boarders ride about 90% on piste and packed down side piste. This years sure is pretty as well. Come back and tell us all about it.

well, the worst that can happen is that i buy the only Blackout in the size i want i can find in europe from a shop in germany that then tells me it's transit damaged, and i'm still waiting for my money back 
i changed tack away from pure camber boards, dug deeper and have ordered a nidecker megalight.

That's a good choice imo the other carp was not piste and powder.

not that good a choice as it turned out - board found to be delaminating on delivery.

Just a bit of a weird board. Supposed to be a piste carver, but has 20mm of taper? That's huge! More than many fully-dedicated powder shapes.
My only personal experience of one is someone turning up to an instructor exam with it. Trainer told him to find something else to ride as it wasn't suitable! That one delaminated too...

i guess there'll always be different opinions on such thing. i very much doubt i'll be getting first hand experience now.

@RedLemon, I have a Signal Omni Wavelength 162 that I'm looking to sell, looks like it might fit your criteria: directional twin, camber between the feet with rocker at the tips for added float, mid-wide (258mm), fast sintered base. Has a couple of weeks on it but is in great condition. Let me know if you're interested and I'll send you some pics.
Details here: http://www.snowdb.com/catalog/signal/2012/omni-wavelength

thanks, but i think i'm moving away from a twin.
getting fed up with the whole thing now, and i'll almost certainly be using my old burton for trip next week.
or do more skiing

You know it makes sense.

You used to be indecisive but now you're not so sure?
