What is considered a "high millimetre rating" and "all mountain type"? What brand would you recommend for a face mask?

The K numbers mean thousands. ie 10,000 MM and 8000MM
a "high millimetre rating" would be anywhere north of 20,000MM. Anything above 20K will be pretty expensive, but well worth the price. I have a Burton AK Jacket and its made out of a gore-tex fabric. I never get wet or soaked even if its raining hard.
a park board is a snowboard designed to go into the terrain park, where you can do tricks and jumps of tails and boxes. I'm pretty sure you're not at that stage yet.
A all mountain board is a versatile board that you can take anywhere on the mountain. For you, a all mountain board will be the best bet as its the most versatile and easiest to learn on.
