Is this a decent snowboard package for a beginner?

I'm 6"2" 220 lbs and bought a 169 2005 Burton Triumph board, Salomon SP1 bindings and Ride Anthem boots. I guess my main concern is that I'm a size 12 shoe and the board is a mid-wide. Should I be ok and not lose my edge if I dig into a turn?

Sounds like a good package man. For your weight, height and a beginner, just about the right length, and I'm sure it's weight range fits you well, for all those who believe weight is a major issue.... my self, I find it only a minor item to look at as I ride a board that I'm "supposedly" 30 pounds to heavy for according to the weight recomendation. But it's the best board I've ridden in the park. But you should be good with that, mid wide should be wide enough to hold a 12. I have size 12 myself, and I used to have a mid wide. Worked completely fine. Only experienced bad toe drag in extensive, hard carving. Which is why I upgraded to a full wide board this year. But you should be fine. And if you do experience problems, like above said, look into gas pedals or risers. My bindings have extendable gas pedals on them this year and it's helped greatly. But good luck!
