Specs
Here's a breakdown of its key features and what makes it stand out for riding around Millcreek and beyond:
Key Features:
- Directional Shape with Taper: A slightly longer nose and tapered tail provide excellent float in powder, which you'll appreciate on those Utah powder days, while still offering strong carving performance on groomers.
- Directional Rocker Profile: Rocker in the nose enhances float and maneuverability, camber underfoot provides solid edge hold and response for carving on harder snow, and a slightly rockered tail aids in turn initiation and stability.
- 3D Contour Base 3.0: Features spooned edges at the nose and tail, which improves glide, makes turn initiation smoother and more fluid, and enhances overall handling in various snow conditions.
- Fusion Carbon Construction: Utilizes carbon layers to significantly reduce weight while increasing torsional stiffness and responsiveness, giving the board a lively and precise feel.
- Fusion Core: Jones' lightest wood core, primarily made of paulownia with strategically placed poplar for enhanced durability and response, contributing to the board's ultralight feel.
- Traction Tech 3.0: Strategically placed serrations along the edges provide exceptional grip and control in all snow conditions, a valuable asset for navigating Utah's variable snow.
- Koroyd Core Inserts: Integrated into the nose to further reduce weight and absorb chatter, providing a smoother ride in less-than-perfect snow.
- Sintered 9900 Base: An ultra-fast and durable base that ensures maximum glide in all snow types.
- Float Pack Inserts: Allows for a super setback stance for those extra deep powder days we occasionally get in the Wasatch.
