JONES Mind Expander 2.0 Snowboard 2027

Reimagine the mountain with the Mind Expander 2.0. The alternative all-mountain board, shaped by Chris Christenson, lets creative riders draw lines that blend freeride, freestyle and surf styles in all snow conditions. Redesigned with a new shape and profile, the board brings more versatility into the resort, without limiting what made it legendary in powder. Expand your mind – and your mountain – with the Mind Expander 2.0.

Flex: 7/10

Shape: Directional - A directional outline with a longer nose, shorter tail and setback stance to optimize float, maneuverability and edge power. Designed for riders who prioritize performance on groomers and in the backcountry over park riding.

Medium Tapered - A sweet-spot for directional shapes that need to float in powder but still hold their own across variable snow and terrain. Nimble in deep snow, precise on piste and versatile enough to handle a full day on the mountain. Any shape with 10–15mm of taper between the nose and tail.

High 3D Contour Base - Freeride-focused 3D Contour Base featuring 4-8mm of spoon bevel in the nose and 0-7mm of spoon bevel in the tail. Spoon bevel starts just before the contact points.

Dual-Radius Flip Tips - Dual-Radius Flip Tips increase the ramp angle in the nose and/or tail on boards with more compact outlines. The extra clearance between the board's ends and the snow limits hang ups or diving under the snow in deeper conditions.

Bend: Float CamRock - Hybrid freeride profile for a great balance of powder and piste performance, featuring a long nose rocker and fully extended tail camber. This combination delivers incredible float in deep snow, while generating drive and grip in the tail to rail carves on piste.

Core: Master Core - Dual density wood core made out of responsibly harvested Paulownia and Poplar. 1:1 Paulownia to Poplar stringer ratio creates a lightweight core that’s poppy and durable.

Fibreglass: Biax - Biaxial fiberglass laminate made with a dual-layer, dual-directional construction that delivers a forgiving yet snappy board feel with a mid-soft torsional flex and quick energy transfer.

ampliTex Carbon/Flax Stringers - Hybrid performance stringers made from carbon and naturally sourced flax fiber, developed with Swiss engineering firm Bcomp.

Base: Sintered 8000 Base - Premium sintered base material that’s ultra fast, highly wax absorbent, easy to repair and proven to be one of the most durable and long lasting base materials in the industry.

EXTRAS

Premium Topsheet - Durable and scratch resistant premium topsheet engineered to endure rigorous daily use in extreme conditions.

Forever Flex - Forever Flex stabilizes a snowboard’s flex and rocker profile for its lifetime. Boards are overbuilt, then ‘broken in’ using a process that mimics 20 days of riding and makes the flex more consistent from day one.

Recycled ABS - Sidewalls with a rounded finish that are engineered to enhance durability by reducing topsheet chipping and impact damage.

Recycled Edges - Bombproof steel edges made from recycled German steel, engineered for maximum strength and long-lasting durability.

Bio Resin - A bio-based epoxy made with 27% plant-based carbon that reduces CO₂ emissions by 33% compared to conventional petroleum-based epoxy. Sourced from plant-based industrial by-products, its unmatched bonding properties deliver industry leading durability and performance.
