Awesome review! I snatched a 152 cm one too and cannot wait to ride it this week. Ive been riding Burton Custom and Flight Attendant for 5 years and wanted something in between and on the more medium side of the freeride category. I have been riding the Never Summer Proto Type 2 in between which has been great but need something stiffer and more stable at higher speed so this gives me everything. Also didnt realize we have the same name!! 😀

Took it a few days ago cruising through almost 2 feet of pow and I think the reference setback stance is perfect. It's set back enough to where you may need to lean just a bit more back but not too much so and I think that gives you a bit more control overall in pow. I wouldn't change the reference stance at all. You could certainly give it more setback though, enough to where you probably wouldn't need to lean back at all even in ultra deep pow!

Definitely go with the 160. The HTH is pretty soft between the feet and your size 11’s will steer the 160 very well. Since the HTH has the rocker tip, I think you’ll want the longer camber contact on the 160 than the 156.

The HTH is pretty soft between the feet but stiffed at the tip/tail where the Custom is pretty much the same stiffness throughout the entire board. I just received my HTH, coming from a 2013 Burton Custom Flying V 162W (which is just a TERRIBLE board and I should have gotten the regular camber 10 years ago) , but I was contemplating the Burton Custom 162W. I decided on the HTH for the directional shape (I only ride switch/goofy on cat tracks) and I love to veer off the main path and hit the softer snow/trees. The HTH is quite soft between the feet. You may like that or you may not. I think the Custom would give you more stability at higher speeds, but the HTH just seemed like a more fun board for me. Having now set up my HTH, I definitely think it was the right choice for me, but the Custom is also an amazing choice. I don’t think you can make a wrong decision going with one over the other. Just, please, don’t get the freaking Flying V!
