Jones Snowboards Storm Chaser Splitboard - 2024

Why We Like The Jones Snowboards Storm Chaser Splitboard

Packing ridiculous float into a short, stubby swallowtail, the Jones Snowboards Storm Chaser Splitboard excels at surfing across the deepest powder in low-angle trees, wide-open fields, and mellow backcountry terrain. Based on the surfing premise that shorter shapes can be significantly widened for exemplary float and faster glide, the Storm Chaser Split planes across powder like a much larger board, but without the truck-like turning radius in tight glades.

Considering its dramatic Surf Rocker profile, its Traction Tech edges on both the inner and outer edges of the board drastically increase edge hold for heading up icy ascents. Jones´ lightweight yet ultra-durable construction makes it easy and efficient to head to far objectives and still keep us energetic for a fun ride down. Karakoram Ultra Clips tighten the connection between each half for a more uniform feel, and the Quick Tension Tail Clip attaches to Jones´ climbing skins for better security.
