Jones Snowboards Stratos Splitboard

The Stratos is designed with a tapered directional shape, which naturally sinks the tail and lifts the nose to provide excellent float in deep powder. While it excels in soft snow, the directional camber profile and sidecut radius still offer enough edge hold and agility to carve confidently on firmer, technical terrain.

This board is ideal for intermediate to advanced riders who split their time between backcountry freeriding and all-mountain touring. Its 3/5 flex rating makes it accessible enough for long days in the backcountry without sacrificing the stability needed for steep lines or variable conditions.

Not at all. While the Bcomp Carbon Flax stringers add a snappy, energetic feel and help dampen chatter, the board maintains a moderate 3/5 flex rating. This combination gives you a lively, responsive ride that feels precise without being overly demanding or rigid.

Like any high-performance sintered base, it requires regular waxing to maintain its speed and durability. It is a porous material designed to absorb wax efficiently, so keeping up with a standard maintenance routine will ensure it stays fast and protects the base material over time.

Because of the tapered directional shape and 20mm setback, this board is optimized for riding forward. While you can certainly ride switch if necessary, it will feel less natural than a true twin board, as the nose and tail are designed for different purposes.
