Jones Snowboards Storm Chaser Splitboard

While this board excels in deep powder and backcountry terrain, its short sidecut and surf-inspired shape make it less ideal for hard-pack or icy resort riding. It is designed specifically to maximize float and maneuverability in soft snow rather than edge-hold on firm groomers.

The short sidecut radius makes the board incredibly nimble and quick to turn, which is a major advantage when navigating tight trees or technical, low-angle terrain. It allows for snappy, surf-like slashes without requiring a massive amount of space to initiate a turn.

The Storm Chaser is best for intermediate to expert riders. Because of its unique, high-volume shape and specific powder-focused design, it requires a rider who is comfortable adjusting their stance and weight distribution to get the most out of the surf-style ride.

Not at all. This board uses a high-volume shape, meaning it is designed to be ridden shorter than a traditional snowboard. The extra width and surface area provide all the float you need in deep snow without the extra swing weight of a longer board.

A 3/5 flex rating is considered medium, offering a balanced feel that is playful enough for slashing but stable enough to handle variable backcountry snow. It provides enough support for confident turns without feeling overly stiff or demanding.
