Question 1

What do you love about this product?

Accepted Answer

I absolutely love the Jones Frontier. It's like it's made for any kind of snow, you know? Cruising on trails or cutting through fresh powder, it just feels so right. The flex is just perfect, not too stiff, not too soft. And it's got this cool look every season, which is pretty awesome.

Question 2

What was your favorite moment with this gear?

Accepted Answer

One of my best days with the Jones Frontier Snowboard was on deep powder. I was impressed by the board’s float: it just slid across the snow as if there was no gravity at all. It was like cutting through untouched snow with a warm knife which perfectly answered each turn. That was one of those days when I was in harmony with the board and I can never forget it. That magic has been a good reminder in every ride since then.

Question 3

What is the value for the money versus other options?

Accepted Answer

It has exceptional price-value ratio, considering the fact that it performs well in various weather conditions. The board is an excellent purchase for both beginner and advanced riders who are looking for a dependable all-mountain model that boasts of equal doses of playfulness, stability, and adaptability at its price point.

Question 4

Why did you choose this product?

Accepted Answer

The Jones Frontier Snowboard 2024 is a real all-rounder, which is why I chose it. The medium flex is really great, and it’s not hard and yet it doesn’t seem flimsy. Great for shredding powders and the park. It has this twin-like shape that is awesome for control and a hybrid camber that works very well in powder. First of all, it is Jones board and so you can be sure of its quality. Yes, the sheets at the top can tear off, but it can be fixed. That’s massive for me, because in my opinion, this board gets a lot of bang for the buck. This board can do anything like me when I go for climbing the mountains.

Question 5

What is the 3D Contour Base?

Accepted Answer

The Jones Frontier snowboard comes equipped with what they call a 3D Contour Base 1.0. This means that the nose and tail have a spoon-like shape, creating a lifted, 3D profile. Imagine it like the board has a subtle curve at the ends. This design is all about improving how the board handles in powder. The spooned-out nose helps the board float on top of deep snow, preventing that sinking feeling you might get with some boards. It gives the Frontier a surfy feel, making it easier to turn and maneuver through powder. So, in a nutshell, the 3D Contour Base on the Frontier is there to enhance its performance, especially when you're riding in those epic powder conditions.

It removes the work involved in plowing through powder. You hardly feel heavy and float on the board as if it reads the snow for you. It goes beyond mere adjustment, it is the harmony with the mountain. It drives smooth on every turn and is so intuitive to ride.

Question 6

How does this compare with the Jones Mountain Twin?

Accepted Answer

The Mountain Twin is like an all-terrain ninja with a hybrid camber, giving you stability and playfulness. It's your go-to for cruising groomers, hitting the park, and handling a bit of powder. On the other hand, the Frontier is your powder playmate. With a directional rocker profile, it's designed to float effortlessly in powder while still holding its own on varied terrain. So, if you're looking for a board that slays in diverse conditions and loves a bit of everything, the Mountain Twin is your guy. But if you're dreaming of those deep powder days and want a board that thrives in it, the Frontier might be calling your name.

,

The Jones Frontier is quite different from the Mountain Twin. The Frontier is a more relaxed type of board that does much better in powder. While both do well in park, the Mountain Twin really excels there because it is a true twin and has more pop for tricks and jumps. The Frontier will be much better for someone wanting a more mellow ride, while the Mountain twin is best for those wanting something more aggressive.

Question 7

How does the Frontier perform for powder riding?

Accepted Answer

The Jones Frontier is a solid choice for powder riding. Its design, with a slightly set back stance and a rockered nose, makes it great for floating on powder. The board's versatility shines through, giving you a good mix of responsiveness and stability in deep snow. The 3D Contour Base adds to the smooth glide, reducing friction. If you're into powder riding, the Frontier strikes a good balance, though you might also want to check out models like the Jones Hovercraft or Storm Chaser, specifically crafted for those epic powder days.

,

The Jones Frontier is great for powder riding for many reasons. The First is that it has rocker at the tips, which provides float through even the deepest of powder. The board also has a setback stance of 20mm, which helps provide float and a more surfy feel in powder. Also, this board is a directional twin, so the lead edge is designed to be very successful in powder.
