What is a “Blem” Snowboard?
A “blem” (blemish) snowboard is a brand-new, unused board that has a minor cosmetic flaw from the factory. These imperfections are typically very subtle and might include:
- A slight graphic misprint or fading.
- A minor scratch or scuff on the topsheet or base that doesn’t impact the core or edges.
- A minor imperfection in the finish.
Crucially, these cosmetic blemishes DO NOT affect the performance, durability, or manufacturer’s warranty of the snowboard. You receive the full performance and Jones’s robust 2+1 year warranty, but at a more accessible price point.
Key Features of the Jones Ultra Solution Split for Utah’s Backcountry:
The Ultra Solution is designed for the most demanding backcountry missions and features Jones’s Directional Rocker Profile (a hybrid rocker/camber pattern with more tip rocker than tail rocker and camber between the bindings). This profile is optimized for splitboarding, delivering:
- Exceptional Float in Powder: The rockered nose lifts the board effortlessly in deep Utah powder, making turns fluid and energy-efficient on the descent.
- Powerful Edge Hold on Firm Snow/Icy Climbs: The camber underfoot provides impressive edge grip and response crucial for steep, icy traverses and firm snow descents in the backcountry. Traction Tech 3.0 Edges (featuring three bumps per edge) provide multiple contact points, further enhancing grip on challenging surfaces. Crucially, it includes Inner Edge Traction Tech for superior grip while skinning up icy couloirs or traverses.
- Stability at Speed: The combination of camber, its stiff flex, and advanced damping ensures supreme stability when charging at high speeds and through variable, unpredictable backcountry terrain.
This splitboard features a Tapered Directional Shape with a significant taper (typically 12.5mm or 13mm) and a setback stance. This design actively sinks the tail in powder for enhanced float and quicker, surfy turns. The 3D Contour Base 3.0 (a spoon-like bevel in the nose and tail) further enhances glide and fluidity in turn initiation, especially in soft snow, and helps with effortless skinning by reducing drag.
The Ultra Solution boasts an ultra-stiff flex (rated 9 or 10 out of 10), providing maximum power, response, and precision. Jones’s Forever Flex manufacturing process helps stabilize the flex and rocker for the board’s lifetime, ensuring consistent performance.
