Jones Stratos

No, this board is designed for advanced to expert riders. Its stiff flex and aggressive, high-performance construction require precise input and experience to handle effectively.

The tapered shape means the tail is narrower than the nose, which naturally sinks in deep snow to lift the nose for effortless float. It also makes the board feel more nimble and easier to maneuver through tight trees and variable terrain.

Yes, the Stratos features Traction Tech 3.0 edges, which add multiple contact points along the sidecut. This design significantly improves edge hold on hardpack and icy conditions compared to traditional boards.

It is a true all-mountain freeride board. While it shines in powder and steep, technical lines, the hybrid camber profile and responsive core make it surprisingly capable and fun on groomed runs as well.

The 3D Contour Base spoons the edges at the nose and tail, which softens turn initiation and makes the board feel less 'catchy.' It helps you transition between edges more smoothly, especially in deep snow or choppy conditions.

The stiff flex provides high-speed stability and power, allowing you to charge through crud and carve hard without the board feeling unstable. It offers a damp, responsive ride that is ideal for aggressive, high-energy riding.
