Jones Stratos Snowboard

It is designed to handle both. The tapered directional shape and directional rocker profile provide excellent float in deep snow, while the mid-stiff flex and 3D contour base ensure it remains stable and responsive on hardpack.

The mid-stiff flex strikes a balance between stability and playfulness. It is supportive enough to charge through variable snow and hold an edge at speed, but it still offers enough pop to be agile in tighter terrain.

The 3D Contour Base subtly spoons the edges at the nose and tail, which helps the board glide faster and makes turn initiation feel much more fluid. It effectively reduces the 'hooky' feeling you might get on flat-based boards when transitioning between edges.

Yes, it is designed for intermediate to expert riders. While it offers high-performance features, the board is approachable enough for an intermediate rider looking to progress their freeriding skills without being overly demanding or punishing.

These stringers are integrated into the core to dampen vibrations and chatter. They help keep the board feeling smooth and composed, especially when you are riding through choppy, uneven snow or at higher speeds.

Yes, the short sidecut is specifically designed to make the board feel more nimble. It allows for tighter, quicker turns and easier slashing, which is particularly helpful when navigating through trees or tight, technical terrain.
