Jones Snowboards - Innovative Snowboard Hardware for the Backcountry
Jeremy Jones is freeride royalty. There’s arguably nobody in the world that shreds lines as hard as this man has been since the 80’s, setting new standards and constantly pushing the limits along the way. It was only in 2009 that he decided to channel his years of experience into his own brand, Jones Snowboards, which produces innovative backcountry snowboard equipment. Who better to do so than Jeremy Jones, eh? In 2014 environmental protection, sustainability and a respect for nature are top priorities for the brand and, as a partner of “One Percent for the Planet”, the company put one percent of their profits towards environmental projects. Jeremy Jones and his team make a point of using environmentally friendly building methods without compromising on board quality.
The Board Collection
All Jones snowboards are designed to deliver high performance for backcountry and freeriding. Their flagship model called - believe it or not - the “Flagship”, represents 20 years of Jeremy Jones’ hard work and is one of the best freeride boards out there. Alongside the Flagship you’ll find a range of top performing freeride boards equipped with all the latest technology:
- Mellow Magnetraction edges for improved grip in varied conditions, made of recycled steel and manufactured in Germany.
- Blunt nose for more float.
- Directional rocker for optimum powder performance and even more float.
- Wood topsheet to soften harder landings, as well as to reduce the amount of plastic in the snowboard. Where plastic is necessary, Jones Snowboards use exclusively recycled plastic.
- Bamboo sidewalls keep the environment happy.
- Sustainably sourced ash wood cores.
Jones Splitboards
One of the things that make a long splitboard hike worthwhile is that sweet, floaty feeling of riding fresh, champagne powder at the end of it. With a Jones Snowboard you can ride all the untouched terrain you want without having to sacrifice any of the board feel and ride quality of a regular freeride snowboard. Every Jones splitboard is equipped with the same technology as their regular freeride and backcountry boards and, featuring drool-inducing designs, is the perfect addition to any snowboard quiver.
Jones Snowboards also do a range of women’s snowboards and splitboards that are every bit as exceptional as the men’s models, but adapted to suit smaller, lighter riders in terms of board size and flex. Their girl’s boards are just as beautifully designed and really emphasize their link with nature.
Jones Snowboarding is the result of Jeremy Jones’ years of experience as a professional freeride snowboarder. Get in on the action with a Jones Snowboard from Blue Tomato.
