Overall, the Mind Expander is a fantastic powder-oriented, all-mountain board. A true directional with a wide nose generates tons of effortless float and control in deep powder. The short tail really helps this as well, preventing sinking into the deep snow. I've had mine in 4 feet of powder and did not know until my friend's road up next to me and sunk. This board is a great volume-shifted (designed to be ridden shorter than your usual sized board), directional board.
However: while marketed as an alternative all-mountain board, I will never use this board outside of a powder day. It can cruise groomers nicely, but carving and stability are rough. The rocker profile makes it tougher to maintain stable speed, and having that bigger nose does make it uncomfortable to carve, for sure some getting used to. As a powder board, it's for sure excellent but using it as a 1-board-to-do it-all type approach, I would recommend other options.
Ideal for
- Deep Powder
- Cruising
- Surfing Feel

The Jones Mind Expander Snowboard is a freeride/powder focused board, designed for intermediate to advanced riders. Key Features:
- Directional Shape – Designed to be ridden in one direction, the shape of the tip and tail of the board are not symmetrical.
- Full Rocker Profile – The nose rocker starts just inside of the front inserts and the tail rocker starts just at the back inserts. - Mid Range Flex Rating – 6/10 flex makes this board very versatile; soft enough to be playful, stiff enough to be stable.
- 2x4 Insert Patterns – This snowboard is compatible with most disc mounted bindings.

The Mind Expander is an absolute dream on the deep days. I was lucky enough to get the last fully rockered profile that Jones put out for 2022. Their newest model features rocker but they added camber. I personally wanted to get on the OG rocker version because I heard how much fun it is on big... Read more
Ideal for
- Floats like an absolute dream on powder days.
- Surfy cruiser that likes long drawn out carves.
- Stable feel underfoot that is fairly forgiving with the full rocker profile.
Not ideal for
- This board isn't meant for park riding, its directional and more freeride focused.
- Fully rockered profile gets a little chattery on super icy days but overall carving experience is solid.

Extremely helpful!
5 /5
Extremely helpful, knowledgeable about snowboarding in the west coast. Understands types of terrains and the type of board suited for the type of riding I like.
I came in with an idea of what I’m looking for. 3 yrs exp snowboarding and only used 2 boards: box knife and Burton. He asked critical questions, looked for multiple offers, videos for me to learn about the products, offered pricing matching and provided details on the process.
I’m recommending this website and Eric to my snowboarding friend group and other people looking to start riding!

Kelly made this experience easy and fun the whole way through. Incredibly knowledgeable and provided options+explanations on everything I asked. Went above and beyond to find online tools for me to self-measure foot size as I do not have any stores local/accessible at the moment. Could not be more satisfied with the help, knowledge, and access to a professional opinion that she provided.

I will never again need to google for information on skis, prices or the 100 other questions I had initially searched when looking for the right pair of skis/bindings.
Elias was quick to respond, extremely knowledgeable and didn’t attempt to pressure me into a purchase. This guy is the real deal and will be the reason I continue to shop at Curated.

I Heard Hayden Scored A Million GNAR Points

I've really been wanting to upgrade my gear for the past year. I got connected with Hayden and he was amazing helping me purchase my Line Blade Optics. His video review and article were super helpful. I also heard he was super famous for sending the portal in his birthday suit for a million GNAR points. 11/10 would recommend.

5 /5
Not only was Josh knowledgeable on every one of my questions, but he was also very patient for the million I asked. I’m hyped for the curations that he chose for me and the explanation for why he chose them. It also helped that he was very familiar with the areas I would be riding and he made his selections based on those terrains. Now all we need is some good snow for this upcoming season!
