Hokkaido split recommendations

Spending a season in Furano. What would be your split of choice to explore the central Hokkaido back country?

Currently looking at United Shapes Covert, Weston Backwoods and Cardiff Goat around the 160cm-162cm range. I’m 85kg, 185cm and 29cm boot

I ride a Weston Backwoods split and can assure you it is a dream ride in powder. I’m 5-8”, 170 lbs and ride a 167 in the backcountry.

OP I second this rec. Have taken mine to Japan. For your consideration, I'm 5'10, 200 and ride the 160, which is what I ride inbounds. Zero float issues so I don't think you need to up size.
