Jones Frontier 2.0 Snowboard 2026

The redesigned Jones Frontier is one of the best directional boards for those looking for a mellow flex pattern and all-around playful feel. The Frontier has been a favorite for years, and it remains a really similar board with this rebuild, Jones just gave it a few slight tweaks. It’s a mid-flex, directional board with a floaty, freeride nose matched with a freestyle tail. It rips in soft snow, holds up on groomers, and can do everything in between. The Frontier’s medium flex and camber shape allows enough stability to lay down some smooth carves on hardpack, but isn’t so stiff that it feels overly demanding at lower speeds or in tighter terrain. Because it’s not the stiffest board, some more aggressive riders might find it lacks confidence at higher speeds. If your comfort zone is ripping medium to short-radius carves, the Frontier is right in your wheelhouse. If all you want to do is go pedal to the medal and make huge turns, you might be happier with something stiffer. That playful feel makes the board feel more manageable at low speeds so it’s not as much work through tighter terrain. That's what makes the Frontier a great option for riders who like seeking out soft snow and new lines, and any riders who want a playful and versatile board. The Frontier may have a mellow flex pattern, but that doesn't mean it's not ready to accompany you through the gnarliest terrain on the mountain.
