Jones Mountain Twin Snowboard 2024

THE MIRACLE OF TWINS.

REVIEWED BY: Garrett Finn

The Mountain Twin is one of my top-tested boards every year because it really does do it all. The board brings a twin shape (hence the name) and a medium-stiff true camber profile. It has the shape of a park board but the burliness of an all-mountain charging board and is meant to bring riders who like to do it all the best of both worlds. It does all the things a park board can do; it's poppy, energetic, feels balanced, can be ridden switch, and loves park laps. It's not as light and playful as your average park board, but that's because it's stiffer and more burly for when you want to take your adventure to other parts of the mountain. The Mountain Twin has become a favorite because while it has that freestyle shape and DNA, it also maintains a high level of performance on hardpack groomers, feel confident through variable snowpack, and feels energetic and snappy in tighter terrain. A lot of freestyle boards can get nervous at high speeds and when the conditions are less than desirable, not the Mountain Twin. 

Most twin boards are strictly designed for the park and therefore are built with softer flex patterns and just feel like they lack on other parts of the mountain. If you're into the twin shape but want something that's gonna be a little more playful in the park, there are also better options (check out the more playful Capita DOA).  If you just want a board for off-piste ripping and don't think a twin shape is necessary, there are better options like the Jones Frontier or the Jones Flagship. If you want something that will perform in both scenarios, you've found your board. The Mountain Twin has enough power to feel stable at speed, and the right balance to feel comfortable riding switch, in the park, or just messing around on the side of the trail. 

Who is this board for? I haven't met a rider who doesn't like the Mountain Twin. This is one of the few boards that any snowboarder can get on board and have an awesome time. 

Who isn't this board for? Skiers.
