Jones Snowboards Stratos Splitboard

The Stratos is designed to be versatile. Its directional rocker profile and refined sidecut provide the grip needed for icy or crusty snow, while the tapered shape ensures it stays agile and floaty when you hit deep powder.

With a medium flex rating of 3/5, it strikes a balance between playfulness and stability. While it isn't the stiffest board in the Jones lineup, the Bcomp Carbon Flax stringers add enough pop and chatter reduction to keep it feeling responsive and reliable on steeper, more demanding terrain.

This board is ideal for the creative backcountry rider who wants a single deck that can handle everything from tight tree runs to open powder bowls. It’s built for someone who prioritizes maneuverability and a snappy, energetic feel over a purely stiff, freeride-focused ride.

This combination creates a lightweight core that keeps the board easy to manage on the skin track without sacrificing durability. It provides a lively, responsive ride that helps you navigate technical terrain without feeling weighed down.

Like any high-performance sintered base, it performs best when waxed regularly. It is built for high-speed durability and glide, so keeping it conditioned will ensure you maintain that speed and protection against backcountry debris.

The 20mm setback shifts your stance slightly toward the tail, which naturally helps the nose stay up in deep snow. This makes it easier to initiate turns and maintain float without having to lean back aggressively, reducing leg fatigue on long tours.
