Jones Snowboards Stratos Splitboard

The Stratos is designed as a versatile all-mountain board. Its tapered directional shape and medium flex make it float well in deep powder, while the directional camber profile and carbon-reinforced core provide the stability needed to carve through hardpack and variable backcountry crust.

While the Stratos is accessible, its medium-stiff flex and freeride-oriented design are best suited for intermediate to advanced riders. If you are comfortable riding all-mountain terrain and are looking to transition into backcountry touring, this board offers a predictable, agile ride that won't feel overly punishing.

The 3D Contour Base features a spoon-like bevel at the nose and tail, which helps smooth out turn initiation and improves flow in deep snow. It essentially makes the board feel less catchy and more fluid when you are transitioning from edge to edge.

The board uses an Ultra Split Core made of Paulownia and Poplar, which keeps the weight down for efficient skinning. To ensure durability, Jones reinforced the core with carbon and flax stringers, which also helps dampen vibrations and chatter when you are riding at higher speeds.

Yes, the board arrives factory-waxed with WEND natural wax, so it is ready for the snow immediately. However, remember that you will still need to purchase compatible splitboard bindings and skins separately to complete your touring setup.
