Jones Frontier 2.0 Splitboard

The Frontier 2.0 features a directional rocker profile and a long nose, which naturally keeps the board afloat in deep snow. The 3D Contour Base further enhances this by allowing the board to glide smoothly through powder without feeling catchy.

With a flex rating of 2/5, this board is designed to be forgiving and accessible rather than ultra-stiff. While it handles steep terrain well, it is built more for a playful, nimble ride than for charging aggressively through high-speed, icy conditions.

Jones uses a bio-plastic topsheet made from castor beans and bio-based epoxy resin to reduce the board's carbon footprint. These materials maintain the durability and performance you expect from a high-end splitboard while being more environmentally responsible.

The Sintered 8000 base is highly porous and wax-absorbent, which makes it very fast, but it does perform best when kept well-waxed. Since it comes factory-waxed with WEND natural wax, you are ready to ride out of the box, but you should plan to re-wax regularly to maintain that speed.

Yes, the accessible flex and directional shape make it a great choice for riders transitioning into the backcountry. It is stable enough to build confidence on variable terrain without being so stiff that it becomes difficult to maneuver.
