Favorite Terrain: Trees and powder

"The Jones Mountain Twin is an aggressive directional twin, all-mountain freestyle snowboard. It’s good for the aggressive rider and it’s going to handle a lot of different terrain well.

"This board has a ton of energy. The camber profile really slingshots you out of turns. I felt the turn initiation was really good. When I locked in that edge, I could really just drive this board through the whole carve. I honestly couldn’t really think of any terrain this board would not be good for. It truly is just an awesome, do-it-all board. You can take it virtually anywhere.

"I would recommend this snowboard to the intermediate rider trying to step up his game, all the way up to the expert rider that wants one board that can really be versatile over the mountain."

Favorite Terrain: Trees

"My first impression on this board was that I was super impressed with how confidently I could ride it on my first run. On my first run, I was actually filming another expert who was testing a board, and when you’re filming, it’s kind of difficult to pay attention to what’s going on around you and underneath your feet because you’re trying to keep up with the person in front of you. And on that first run, I did not have to worry about what was happening underneath me on this board. It was smooth and confident from the get-go."

Franco DiRienzo

Favorite Terrain: Trees

"The Jones Mountain Twin has absolutely no problem with speed. It’s pretty stable. This board was a 154; it’s a little short for me and my weight, but it still felt really stable, and I really pushed it and really dug in and laid it on edge.

"The Jones Mountain Twin is really an all-mountain quiver killer. It can do virtually anything. It’s not the most ideal for park—it’s a little bit stiff, unless you’re hitting mostly jumps. Not the best for doing a lot of rails and jibby stuff."

Alternatives to Consider

The experts recommend the Jones Ultra Mountain Twin for riders looking for something with a bit more stiffness, and the Salomon Assassin and Jones Frontier for those looking for a board with a little more flexibility.

I was born and raised in Maine, fell in love with snowboarding 20 years ago, and the fire still burns! I love the mountains, surfing in the ocean (or in waist deep pow... ask me what boards are best in the deep stuff... I’ll tell ya!) and all things outdoors. I am passionate about what I love, I would be honored to share my knowledge with you and get you on the equipment that best fits you and your journey as a snowboarder.

Native Vermonter and Snowsports Expert with 20+ years riding experience! My passion for snowboarding started in the backyard on a plastic Black Snow (if you know you know) in the very early 90's. Growing up in Vermont and sharpening my skill set on the typically icy slopes and tight trees that we find here in the east as well as countless trips out west I have ridden it all! As a younger rider, I spent many years as an instructor and am now loving the opportunity with Curated to continue to share my passion/knowledge of the sport so that other folks can maximize their level of stoke on the hill with the RIGHT gear for them! If you have ever driven up interstate 89 from southern NH or Boston area you have probably seen a little local hill called "Whaleback", that was my stomping ground everyday after school until the lights shut off. Now I spend most of my days riding at Stowe, Sunapee, and Killington, or out touring backcountry terrain on my splitboard. When I am not thinking about or actually riding snowboards you can find me working on my 1988 Chevy Astro Tiger campervan/adventure rig, hiking, attempting to surf, fishing, dirtbike riding and really anything outdoors! Hit me up and let's chat about what gear works best for you and your needs and hopefully see you out on the hill!!

Snowsports have been in my blood since I was a little kid. I started skiing at the age of 3 and snowboarding at 16, and still do both to this day! My wife and I met while working at a ski shop and we now have 3 kids that we can't wait to get out on the hill! I grew up just outside Boston and currently reside on the seacoast of New Hampshire, however I was lucky enought to attend college in Colorado. Getting to experience western powder was such an amazing experience, and we go back to CO every year to ski/ride and visit friends. Some of my favorite places to ride on the east coast are Stowe, Cannon, Loon and of course Jay Peak. Out west, we always hit Aspen, Vail and Steamboat and hope to get to Jackson Hole and Mammoth when our kids get a bit older. My passion for skiing and snowboarding brought me to work in the ski/ snowboard industry for 8+ years managing a ski/ snowboard shop here on the east coast. I loved helping poeple get the right gear and the amazing feedback that came with it! Luckily I also met my wife there who was the softgood buyer for the shop. I now work in real estate here on the seacoast of New Hampshire but you can find us up in the mountains at every possible moment.
