Jones Stratos

It is a true all-mountain hybrid. While it excels in powder thanks to its tapered shape and rocker nose, the camber underfoot provides the edge hold and stability you need to carve confidently on groomed runs.

With a 3/5 flex rating, it strikes a balance between being playful enough for quick turns in trees and stiff enough to handle high-speed charging. It is responsive without being overly demanding or punishing.

The tapered shape means the tail is slightly narrower than the nose, which naturally helps the tail sink in deep snow. This creates effortless float and makes the board feel more nimble when initiating turns in powder.

The Stratos is better suited for intermediate to advanced riders. Its directional shape and specific flex profile are designed for someone who already has solid board control and wants to explore more technical terrain.

The Sintered 8000 base is high-density and very fast, but it requires regular waxing to maintain that speed and protect the material. If you keep it waxed, it will stay durable and glide smoothly across all snow conditions.

No, this specific model is a solid snowboard designed for resort riding and sidecountry access. If you are looking for a backcountry-specific splitboard, you would need to look at the Jones splitboard lineup.
