2027 Jones Storm Chaser Snowboard

The Jones Storm Chaser is a compact, surf-inspired swallowtail built to chase powder and slash turns. The short, wide body and deep swallowtail float you up on top of deep snow while the tapered directional shape stays nimble in tight trees and steep chutes. There's enough camber underfoot to carve hard and hold a clean line, so it's more than just a one-trick pow toy. It rides loose, surfy, and fast when the snow stacks up.

Why we like it:

The Surf Rocker profile and deep swallowtail sink the tail and lift the nose, so it planes through powder with almost no effort. A medium flex keeps it friendly and easy to slash rather than demanding.

Who it's for:

It's for powder hounds who want a surfy, playful ride on deep days and in soft snow. Riders who love long, drifty turns through open bowls will get the most out of it.

Highlights:

The Surf Rocker profile blends a rockered nose with camber underfoot, planing the tip in deep snow while still gripping when you lay it on edge. The tapered directional shape and swallowtail sink the tail for effortless float and quick, surfy turns. Jones wraps an updated Master Core with a Bcomp Carbon Flax stringer and biax fiberglass for lively response, giving this board a loose, playful, yet confident ride.

Things to consider:

This is a dedicated powder shape, so it feels out of its element ripping around firm, groomed days. The swallowtail and heavy taper ride differently than a normal board, so give it a few turns to get used to the loose, back-foot feel.

Fit & sizing considerations:

The compact swallowtail floats like a much longer board, so bumping down a size will give you a a quick, surfy feel, sizing up only if you're chasing maximum float on the deepest days.
