Okay there are many different places.

Mt. High which is in Wrightwood, Ca has 3 really good big jumps. They have an anual Triple Air Contest which has a pretty good prise money.

Mammoth has many big jumps. They also have the finals for the PB&J there.

Park City has many jumps that are big and are good for going big.

June Mountain also is really good but they have alot of rails and stuff.

Aspen has a good like of jumps since they have the X-Games there.

The T.Rice is a good choice. Also the Burton Jussi, Flow Team, andOption Chris Dufficy will all work well for your type of riding. All mountain freestyle is probably the most popular style of snowboard so you definitely have a bunch of options.

It depends on a lot of factors but for you, I would recommend the Nitro Wiig. This is a relatively park specific board with the right flex pattern for switch landings and what not. Nitro has always sortof been the outperforming underdog that goes under everyone's radar... I like the nose tail shapes on this deck and Wiig of course, is a super talented rider so if you're not landing your 7s, it is doubtfully because of the board. I ride a lot...ranging of big pow lines, kickers galore, and as I get older bombing more tree runs with all out aggression. I used to have a Nitro and the thing was a tad bit on the heavy side but it was built like a tank and floated really well. However, for this kind of all out aggression on the mountain, few boards beat a T.Rice with the serrated edge. I demoed one and loved it...but I wonder about its longevity beyond one season...but then again...that might be asking too much.

Good luck on your choice.
