The Lodge Boys is great video, It reminds me some epic trips to Italian Alps with my friends during the early nineties. The essence of snowboarding, powder, friends and great landscapes. I'm 54 and I felt in love with snowboarding in the '88. Since there I've never stopped to surf the mountains. I shared the love of snowboarding with my whole family..my daughters and my wife are also passionate snowboarders! Now due to the pandemic all the Italian ski side resorts are closed and also we can't move between regions and in lots of cases we can't move from our town (so we can't even use the split..). I hope next season we could be back on our mountains and have great sessions in the deep pow with friends. Ah... thanks a lot for creating shapes like the Storm Chaser a fantastic pow stick!!!
Worked great on about 6"-8" of average snow starts to struggle a bit past 8". ruclips.net/user/postUgkxoHYZbq5g9fkcAtinlTqstNlje-UQkCHN Very light weight and the chute spin control works well. For the low price you get a ton of value. My only complaint is managing the cord as it does take a fair bit of effort to watch and pull the cord out of the way. I found myself having to whip the cord out of the way a lot when I needed to make one way passes to mange the blow direction. It's less of an issue when you can work both directions. A battery powered version would be a lot easier to handle but that is also double the price and requires battery care. I chose the corded version so I didn't have to worry about batteries but I do now see how much work the cord is. I let my neighbor borrow it and it outperformed his smaller gas blower, he was totally sold. Very pleased with the power and operations.My only suggestion is to spend a bit more on a cordless version if you have budget for it. The cord is a bit more of a headache than I thought it would be. Very pleased with the Snow Joe brand and quality.
I love to ride snowmobiles up in the rocky mountains and shred untouched powder like just like these LEGENDS! The only problem is I have to ride it on a snowboard that was definitely NOT meant for powder. The snowboard also got just a little burnt on the sled. If I got to ride a Jones I would take it to the craziest spots and ride it all the time!!!
20-21 season was my first season snowboarding. At the young age of 40, my wife taught me how to snowboard. Last weekend we hit every black diamond Heavenly Ski Resort had to offer. I look forward to snowboarding for the rest of my life. Yeah, it hurt like hell learning, catching an edge sucks. But nothing is better than floating on POW or cutting through trees! Best of luck to all!!! 🏔🏂🤘🏻
Jones Board Giveaway. This reminds me of when my buddy & I decided to drive cross country. We made the decision and left a week later in my subaru outback with the main goal of hitting national parks & getting as much pow as possible. Two days after we left, our hometown mountain (Mount Snow, Vt) got hammered with 2 ft while Mt. Hood & Breckenridge were having some of the worst conditions in years ( two of our destinations). Finally, on our way home, Jackson Hole blessed us with 17 inches. So, mother nature decides to tease us at the beginning of the trip, but we quickly learned she has a sense of humor as we were having the time of our lives in Jackson
Hello everyone in the snowboard community! Due to the lockdown, here in Italy, I started to really appreciate freeriding. It's more physical and requires more courage than riding through slopes. This year I taught my friend how to snowboard with an old and scratched board and now he rides a lot better than me. When I'm relaxing at home drinking a hot tea he's going down a hill like crazy, everyday. He definitely deserves a new board, and I need a new one to follow him. Cheers from Italy!
Two years ago I bought my very first snowboard. Living a few hours away from any kind of mountain, I went to the nearest hill. This place made ice for snow and I went so often that my butt cheeks were bruised for close to a year afterwards. When my boyfriend finally took my to Fernie in British Columbia with all that pow! It didn’t hurt to fall down, even when I did the Scorpion and my board smacked the back of my helmet!!
georgekzm This winter was not so good. I spent 20 days in a hospital and another 40 days recovering. The snowfall in Greece was incredible but me and my friends could not get out there because of the quarantine. One sunday we decided to grab our splitboards and head to our local ski resort. About 10 klm before the police stopped us and told us to turn back. Of course we turned back and went from an other way. One more hour driving a very bad road. Finally we got there and we had a foul day in a closed resort. All lifts closed and no people at all. A dreamed day... We all ride old and used snowboards and a new set would be the best gift for us. Thank you Jones 🇬🇷❄️🏂🤞
Riding out at Keystone 3 weeks ago and my to be brother in Law Erik. Rides my dads board because he is without his own. Goes FULL SEND. Had us the best of days you can ask for a season ender... but... last run the phones came out to capture perceived greatness. With that came phone muscles. Erik flew off a nice mogul on the outside of a steeepy double black. Nailed the tree. Got the best video. But broke my dads board ! My dad loves Jeremy Jones more that most of our immediate family. Please let us win haha. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🤞🏻🤞🏻
I love this guy's......deep powders and crazy lines....it reminds me the day that me and my friends lost its other because of the deep fog that cover the whole mountain....we found it's other 2 hours later..totally exhausted and completely lost near a village...With every breath we still got we try to find a hostel to spend the night.The next day in a try to configure what it goes wrong as we understand where are we...start the trip for the way back to find where is our car........3 hours and 10 kilometers later we find it.......totally exhausted and ripped off by the 10 kilometers walking on powder.....find the way to drag our selves back to our homes........unforgettable memories
Started snowboarding in the late eighties on an old Burton Cruizer 165, loved it! Went with my buds at night, when we weren't allowed on the hills, to a hill in our city by bus carrying our boards and wearing Sorel boots and built a jump right near Beaver Lake. Great times. Later on I moved out to Banff and it was time to invest into new gear. I was so stoked and literally slept with my new board! Amazing runs in the Rockies with a lot of great friends and acquaintances who pushed me to the next level. One day am out with my 2 best buds who were a lot more advanced in skills than myself but I did everything to keep up with them including a cliff drop that made me question my life! We bumped into Jay Kay (Jamiroquai) who was hitting the slopes and following year MCA (Beastie Boys).... So many great experiences, being pushed to your limits, meeting great peeps from all around, the parties, and throughout all this doing it with your 2 best friends, these are memories i'll never forget and re-unite us once every year at some hill of our choice for a week of sheer bliss riding and reminiscing of times gone by...and to come. Was up at the hills with my friends recently and bumped into this kid who proceeds to express himself about my board..."wow that's a relic!" Now I was in between laughing and shocked, and to see my best friends cracking up behind me! I'm like "whats so funny?" Answer: "Dude, you bought your board in 2000!" I'm like proud and am like "yeah?" Now I am aware of the fact that Snowboard technology has developed triple fold since I bought my board, but am so comfortable with it and still feel like it is the bomb! But then reality of the kids comment and my buds laughing their asses off at me all led to me realizing its time to update! That's what your good friends are for, to always support you no matter your choices as long as you are happy and also be there to remind you of when it is time to let go of the past and move forward with the new!
My friends and I have always loved snowboarding but, growing up broke in SoCal, all we really had to ride was big bear so we had yet to see the real potential of the big mountain. This year we became lifties at Squaw, testing ourselves in Tahoe and seeing the true mighty terrain it represents. We’ve pushed ourselves to our limits, hitting all of the chutes and cliff drops that make Squaw famous. We want to continue to grow as both snowboarders and lovers of mountain life, and some sweet Jones birds certainly wouldn’t hurt
In my 40s, just started boarding 4 years ago. Late to the game, my crew has pushed me to my limits, forcing me to get better fast, and now can handle most terrain - have them to thank. Sidecountry, off-piste, we’re always hiking to find the goods - that’s come at a cost, as our boards are pretty beat up from hidden rocks and boulders. These boys have been responsible for some of my favorite memories, and never leave me behind - would love to pay them back, just a little. Bonus: I spend more time than I’d like with my board facing the sky, and it’s killer advertising - that Jones logo looks extra awesome when seen from the lift!
Back in the days when snowboarders where still a novelty in Austria, there was one guy in the resort who hated snowboarders from the guts for no reason. His name was Heinz. Heinz was a guy like you would imagine someone like that. Beer belly, ski pants too tight for his thick thighs and an angry mustache. He even had a belt that was essentially a cow belt (minus the bell, god forbid). Anyway, he was responsible for a T-Bar that lead to the very top of the resort. He played all kind of bad jokes on snowboards only. Like casually forget to stop the T-bar after one of us fell. Sometimes, people who fell down were pulled along and the bastard just laughed. Because we just started snowboarding, of course we fell often. But that way we learned even faster. Another cruel joke was to tell snowboarders that the lift is closed fifteen minutes before it really closed. Only to let skiers still up to the mountain. We never even opposed him, because we were young and feared he would take away our season pass. Fun thing about Heinz was: he would drive a really small car. So one day, me and my guys decided to play a joke on him. We managed to get nearly every snowboarder on the mountain on board, so we carried his car to the very back of the parking lot. I was hilarious, after the lifts closed, we were waiting for the bus (no one of us had a driving licence) and saw him looking at the empty parking spot in panic. He could not find it, so he needed to take the bus with us. Of course no one said anything, but we all had the hugest grins in our faces while his face was red and he threatened to kill us all if we were responsible for his missing car. I seriously took Heinz two days to find his car, but he never found out who hid it. We still laugh about it, even 26 years later. It really was the start of our snowboard crew and a long lasting friendship. Three of us still regularly ride together and that are my two guys that I want to share the Jones boards if we win. So that we can continue to have fun in the mountain the next years! Insta: outcozo
Spending most of my life with my friends one thing that I will like us to thru is snowboarding.Going thru life with this wold be the crown to it.Thanks
Just graduated high school back in may of 2020. Took a gap year because I didn’t want to deal with covid at college. saved up all summer for a pass and was able to get out and ride with some of my best friends from high school. I bought a Storm Chaser in the fall and I love that board. It became my daily driver over an old burton park board that I got in 8th grade. I hit some insane pow on the east coast at Mount Snow when they got over 3’. It’s definitely a season for the books.
Me and my boys all met at a snowboarding festival in Austria (Snowbombing) and we’ve been best mates ever since. For 10 years now we’ve been on many snowboard trips together, even with one mate flying all the way from Oz to join us! From shredding all over the Alps to a few lads bouncing down the Swiss Wall we’ve laughed, cried and sunk several beers along the way. We’re like family and snowboarding is the glue that binds us 🤍 On our 10th anniversary it would be awesome to hook up post-covid and shred on our new Jones setups!
I fell in love with snow boarding while working in Les Arcs, France in my twenties. Bought a second hand shitty board and ripped around the Alps for months. Then life took over, 3 kids and a divorce later and I never had the chance to get back into it ... till I met Sam and his two kids. He convinced me to take our blended family to the hill every week this year; get seasons passes for ourselves AND lessons for all 5 kids. I fell in love with the sport again and Sam got me my first new board - the Jones Mind Expander ...while he continues to ride his 15 yr old one snowboard. With 5 little future shredders ....we could really use the boards for our 21-22 Season to keep the kiddos building memories on the hill!!!
Me and my buddies Benoît and joris we're riding all winter and still do it in our lovely swiss alps. This winter was really spécial for us cause we had à lot of time for discovering many spots around our home but we lost à lot of boards riding it (we are not pro) and we don't have some big budget to invest in it. But nevermind, destroyed or not we still riding these stuff and we enjoy spending time in pow/steep lines/ Woods/Park because the only true thing is thé love of snowboarding together or with many friends and family. Keep going !!!
I've been riding most of my life, always on last year's demo boards I've picked up on sale or just a lower end model because I couldn't afford top-of-the-line setups. My crew and I have set a goal to ride in as many countries as possible before we die - so far I've got the USA (Sierras & Rockies) and Switzerland (Jungfraujoch/Interlaken), and we're currently planning trips to Japan and Austria over the next couple of seasons. We need the SICKEST boards out there to get the job done!!! Jones boards will step up to the challenge and be a lifetime addition to the toolkit as we travel the globe in search of the gnarliest lines mother earth has to offer. Would be honored to win a board and rep Jones globally! Love y'alls energy levels, keep it real !!
After having to stop snowboarding during college to focus on track, me and my crew are getting back into the sport we love. We need new gear as we have small outdated gear, and one of us has no snowboard at all. Now for the story... On Friday afternoon we started shredding down a blue route called Gassy Thompson. I was a little surprised someone would have named a route after my grandma all the way out here. We were jumping in and out of the tree line but never going in far. Suddenly Alec decided to get adventurous. He carved through an opening between a thin layer of trees that led to some fresh pow on the far side. It didn’t look like many people had gone this way. Maybe that should have been a warning sign. This wasn’t just fresh pow, it was fresh pow 5 feet deep. Alec’s momentum slowed and he nearly came to a stop. I still had some momentum and had to cut out of the way to avoid a head on collision. I full out yard-saled face first in the snow. I was already two feet under the snow. I twisted to unstrap my boot that was still in the binding. I knew I needed to grab my board and use it to keep me above the snow. I pulled it up over my head and started to work my way up to the surface. I could see Alec doing the same maybe ten yards ahead. We just needed to get back to the tree line. I kept most of my weight on the board and inched slowly forward, trying to get some forward momentum from my knees and feet as well. But it was no use, I was slowly sinking; my board was hardly keeping me afloat. I felt like Leonardo DiCaprio in the Titanic. I sunk lower still. My life was flashing before my eyes; replaying my proudest moments. I revisited eighth grade graduation, the time I ate a ghost pepper on a dare, the time I drank a whole gallon of milk three minutes later, the time I kissed the 17th hottest girl at my high school. The vision of Caitlin slowly faded and was replaced by a white light. Kyle “stand up you dumb ass”. It was Paul. He was shining his phone light at me. I looked down. I was almost completely out of the snow and back in the strip of trees where we had first entered. “Am I dead”? “No you’re not dead. You slowly crawled over here and then passed out”. “You started mumbling something like I think you’re actually number 16 and then you started rinsing your mouth out with snow.” Huh, I guess that’s what I get for taking three shots of Tequila at the party deck I thought.
Feelin the vibes of The Lodge Boys. It makes one jealous of their simple yet fascinating life. Keep goin🤙🏻 Ma homeboys and I started ridin on skateboard decks, went over to snowboards, but with hiking boots and now we‘re shreeding over the alps with proper equipment. Once we drove down a steep 1.780 m mountain at night with skateboard decks. When we almost reached the end there was a drop with rocks between, where we attempted a frontflip. 2 of us dipped in with our heads, almost kissed the rocks and luckily flew past by landing on hella hard ice. Lessons like that made us the best cruiser in town🤙🏻
My friends and I live in southern Ontario, which isn’t known for it’s amazing snowboarding. But we make the most of it fooling around and shredding all the terrain parks we can find. Some of my favourite memories are of all of us learning together in our high school ski and snowboard club. There is one hilarious story that happened on one of these trips where the three of us found a small section of glades that was accessible to the public, which is very rare in Ontario. Once we were on this trail, we somehow managed to make our way off the resort property and on a private double track that took us around to the wrong side of the hill, and we needed to walk for half an hour to get back to the resort! It wasn’t exactly fun but we all had such a good laugh about it and was a really awesome bonding moment that we all had together. We all graduated high school a couple years ago and the three of us have went on to study in different fields, but every year (with the exception of this year with lockdowns) we get back together and shred our hearts out. But we’ve all stuck with the same park oriented setup because that’s really all there is in southern Ontario. It would be so amazing for us to have an opportunity like this to add a second board to all of our quivers so that we can finally have all mountain/ pow boards that can really improve the riding experience when we go on trips to the northwest! Thanks so much for the opportunity and I love this video!! @trev__slalom @ethan.skiv @kesten_boi
I started freeride couple of years ago in Gastein Austria. Looking the secret lines where always fresh snow, untouched terrain. I would like to share this feeling with my friend and her childrens as well. They are open for off piste experiance. My jones board lift me to next level of snowboarding and this is best board for freeride.
Fell over carrying my board. Look up to see my board sliding down the hill. Chase after it, stack it again, my friends are pissing themselves. Board gone. Day ruined. New Board needed! This vid is making me stoked for shredding with my boys next season already.
After 10 years I bought myself a new snowboard for the first time as the Jones Frontier. And just after riding for a week on the Frontier 159, I am already looking to expand my quiver and my mind of course. This competition chance has just been launched on top of my search where I was looking for a Mind expander or a Hovercraft as my second pow board. I value the experience of Jeremy Jones as a freerider for years and the mission to create boards for boarders with the sustainability in mind. To top it all the graphics on all boards are sick. I am thrilled to take my chances and share the boards with my wife and a shredding buddy.
Why we would love to win the boards, as workers in the snowboard industry this winter has been really hard without any work at all. Riding as much pow and slush as possible has been the most fun in this season riding new things and improving our snowboard skills and just try to have as much fun as possible here in Fieberbrunn austria even a broken thumb and sprained wrist didn’t keep us down. Started split boarding when the lifts were closed for the first time ever and found love for it and found new ways to ride even without lifts or places where the lifts don’t go. Love from the Netherlands/Austria
snowboarding means so much because it has brought me so much closer to so many of my friends and will create a lasting connection to come back to. As College rolls up around the corner and all of my friends become spread out over the nation I look towards snowboarding as a catalyst to bring us together. It wouldn't matter the conditions or the place, but simply bringing along my version of the lodge boys helps to strengthen the bonds of friendship and have something to do for years to come. Whatever group gets the board I hope it brings them together for years to come to create a lasting friendship as the lodge boys got. Deus Vult my good friends.
As to why we need the new setups. Firstly I will start with friend #1 who during our last snowboard adventure used his brother's 7 years old snowboard because his bindings were broken and his board was getting torn up. Friend #2 has been looking in the market for a new board after using hers for over 4 years whose bindings are beginning to fall apart. And finally my condition on my absolutely beautiful 2012 arbor coda that I bought from the almighty Craiglist on my 110 dollar bindings that both of the bottom buckles have fallen off of. I love my board and setup, but the time has come to replace such a beast. And while we would love to drop some stacks on a new setup, all of us are going to college this coming year and simply do not have the money to do such a thing.
I'm seriously in love with my snowboard from Jones. This winter came a massive change, everybody waiting when will THEY let us shred the resorts, do our jobs, teaching people and children to ride, like I did, among many others. "IT" did not happen, only tension rising. But my neighbour prepared his little ski area with true love and dedication of a patriot to winter sports and created massive snowpack with additional natural snow layering on the top. This thing was just sitting there, waiting for the skiers who never came. So here is the funny part of the story: I'm lying down, talking to the full moon with a kind of thanking prayer, happiest being in the universe, because it's finally snowing, yes! Few days before new year and I can ride whenever I want, ‘cause I live in front of the slopes. This winter comes really late, mountains keep us waiting, with exercising our patience comes real blessing and teaching about the way mother nature works. It's 4 a.m. and with me is out Eliška and Kristian. He is trying to teach his beautiful young girlfriend turning on snowboard, but this time it's more of giggling and joking around. In the house is Bára with her dog Monty and my dog Agnar, despite the dogs are completely mixed breeds, both from different parts of Europe, they look quite the same, one ear standing and one flopped. Girls were changing my old working snowboard between themselves. All together we are quite a circus family for the locals. I'm so happy they all came to visit me and snowboard together easing my social separation in the mountain hut. God damn, Eliška would love Jones mountain twin as it looks like she can ride nicely regular as well as goofy. In fact this is nothing but illegal activity, we are not allowed to go out after 9 evening. In the months to come my lock down will become means to exercise beauty of Czech Jizerky and Krkonoše mountains. I try to see it as opportunity for my riding and discovering backcountry, not as a limitation. All I need is company of my beloved dog Agnar and few friends visiting me. For them I need the great Jones boards, for Eliška and others who want to learn how to snowboard and do not have many resources, so we can search for the plains of fresh pow together. Marek omkoraki@gmail.com Here are few random photos from the new year visit of my friends and some of my explorations trips from this winter with my dog nyx.cz/files/000/022/2292254_b8eeb4eb8e963b5b120c/original.jpg?name=2021%20silvestr%20rozhledna%2001.jpg nyx.cz/files/000/022/2292255_2bd132535b2f133da77a/original.jpg?name=2021%20silvestr%20rozhledna%2002.jpg nyx.cz/files/000/022/2292256_229fc57e4eedcdcbd2ae/original.jpg?name=2021%20silvestr%20rozhledna%20crew.jpg nyx.cz/files/000/022/2292258_4bd8e79dc5244fcc0176/original.jpg?name=2021_04_06%20%20Harrachov%20s%20Agnarem%20na%20vrcholu.jpg nyx.cz/files/000/022/2292259_9c503f322984ca8be274/original.jpg?name=2021_04_06%20Harrachov%20pl%C3%A1n%C4%9B.jpg nyx.cz/files/000/022/2292260_f48b9d3c5cd1bcf29c53/original.jpg?name=2021_04_06%20Harrachov%20m%C5%AFstky%20II.jpg
Here's an unfortunate accident that turned into an amazing story & the BEST souvenir ever. I went on my first catskiing trip last year with a couple of friends (bucket list trip). The first ride of the day, the cat driver pulled me aside COMPLETELY beside himself to explain that there had been an accident. My snowboard had slipped out of the basket, which had NEVER happened before, and the cat accidentally crushed it. I just laughed! It was a freak accident and there was nothing he could have done about it. The operation had rental boards for me to use for the rest of the trip. and the cat driver actually made my now ruined snowboard into a "shotboard" - he brought it home, beveled three pint glasses into it, and then signed it "Crushing it" with a sweet sticker. I now have the best souvenir and a great story. Also, some of my crew may be lodge GIRLS but we sure ride like the boys... Aside from the yearly spring bikini run... It's for charity though... And guys can do it too. Very inclusive.
The boys and I would love to take these boards on our next set of adventures to Washington and Alaska! This year was the first time I was able to get them into the back country and they loved it! I’m planning a trip for us back home in AK next season so they can experience some of the mountains that made me fall in love with the challenge and adventure the sport has to offer. We all would be grateful to have great gear to aid in the experience. Thanks for this opportunity!
This short makes me wish I had a split setup that would make me put in work to get clean white shots in my face. And the flow/music just makes me want to quit my job and become a snow bum! Thanks 'Boys'!
During this Covid season we were lucky enough to have to be confined to our family bubble. This was my wife and our two dogs. Our days would start with a small hike up the mountain with or boards and dogs. Chill on the hill and watch the sunrise over the range. Then ride out with the dogs in tail. Eat breakfast and then hit the lifts for the day. Once we where good and tired from our ride. We would shed a layer and grab the dogs and a couple beers and go find a spot in the sun and dig out a pit and make our “snow-fa” and listen to music and plan our next day. Season is over for us but. Any wait to do it all again in 8months.
The cornice comrades. Three amigos. Best of friends. Homies. Shredders for life. We’re always looking to expand our quiver. That is usually because one of us drives away leaving our boards in the parking lot at the resort, Hail Mary’s their helmet because they can’t handle their alcohol intake or wears jean overalls on the mountain and try’s to impress the snow bunnies. Btw this is all the same person but we put up with him anyways. So pick us. The friends who will rip the mountain as hard as we rip the bar. New boards for new mems. Thank you for coming to my TEDtalk.
First day of snowboarding ever with the boys with rental boards 7 years back. No instructors and not great snow coverage unfortunately so only one way to learn, trial and error. Took a loooong hike to the start of the slope as the dreaded t-bar was out of the question. I just pointed my board down the slope and sent it hoping i would stop at the bottom. Managed to somehow turn on my toes and caught my heel edge sending me in a backflip landing head first on not the softest of snow as i recall. Managed to get out with a minor concussion thanks to the helmet (always wear a helmet). I got hooked instantly, never missed a season since then but since we only have snow around 2 months per year never got around to buying gear and we have been using rentals. First new gear would be a moment to cherish forever!
Riding the lift with my kid brother on a busy day at White Pass WA, I offered him a cool $50 if he would ride the lift all the way back down. After some convincing he decided the embarrassment was worth it. Once we got to the top I couldn't control laughter as he prepped to stay on the lift. I unload and as the chair goes around the wheel he has second thoughts and bails from about 10ft up. He was uninjured and we laughed about it for the rest of the season. A new setup would be sweet as I am in school and haven't been able to upgrade boards in a long time. Appreciate it! Mahalos
Five years ago, I convinced some friends to go snowboarding for the first time. I was the only one in the group (7 people) that knew how to ride so I taught them the basics: how to stand, how to slow down, turns... We spent the whole morning and before I could realize some of them were riding on their own and doing solid turns, they even abandonned me while I was busy with the least prepared one!! Since then, we’ve been together at the slopes every year, unless this last 2020 due to covid restricions in Spain... I hope we have a better (or just non-covid) season next year so we could ride together again.
A few years back we had a heavy snowfall and were really pumped for the pow day ahead. Got to the top of the mountain and started preparing for the descent. My friend Nikolay, who I tagged on Insta for the contest, strapped in and made just one or two turns before his snowboard broke in half. Needles to say his pow day was ruined, but the deck was pretty old by that time, so he spent the rest of the day drinking tea at the lodge. It would be awesome for the whole crew to get a brand new board, so we can rock those pow days to the max and without any worries.
I love to snowboard since I was young, and Jones got the best looking boards i know, but i've never had the money for one. This season, i rode a lot of powder and jumped higher jumps than usually. It was really fun!
I have bin riding since I was 3 years old and now I'm 14. I have always just went snowboarding once or twice a year and haven't progressed much up till covid this winter. That's when it all happened and it just clicked. Snowboarding is my favourite thing in the whole world. I just want to go any time I can and if I can't I am watching videos like this. I have found out that trees and backcountry is my kind of snowboarding, but has bin tough to do because I'm on a twin board. I would really love to put your boards to the test and ride them for the rest of my life. Thank you and keep making the awesome vids and snowboard gear.
Had the privilege of owning my first Jones this year and I chose the mountain twin, I can say my perspective on how a board should ride has completely changed. Due to this new found stoke many good times and deep days we’re had and many dings and and wrinkles were acquired along the way would love to win! Cheers boyz!!!!!
Thank you guys, for this video, for awesome snowboards (hovercraft is our favourites) and for saving nature by making them! And thank you for this giveaway, of course! We are ride in Ural, Russia and most local freeriders ride hovercraft and flaghip! We have a lot of snow now, and we really need these awesome snowboards to float up and have fun!
I have always been a skier until my friend riding on a brand new jones mountain twin that has red wood grain top sheet. It was so damn pretty since ski board usually don't have a good pic for the top sheet and it kinda resonates the colour with my hometown wood furniture. The texture is so good that I just couldn't take my eyes off from it. I kept staring and staring and staring while I was skiing. I got real close to him and I have no idea about snowboarding needs a larger S in turning after not skiing for 2 years. Yes, I ended up bombing into him, my boss son. And I was being told by my boss the other day to learn how to ride a snowboard before I can hang out with him.
For most of my life I've been snowboarding on Whistler Blackcomb. Receiving a new board would allow me to improve on my riding as well as help me out financially as this pandemic hasn't been great.
It was one of my friend's first time snowboarding. After a few runs, we went to the lodge to use the washroom. When we finish we couldn't find him. His rental snowboard was still outside and we searched everywhere in the lodge for him. It turned out that after he finished using the washroom, he didn't see anyone and thought we had already left. So he took his snowboard and went down the mountain. The problem was that he took someone else's rental snowboard. So we were left wondering where our friend went and there was someone else wondering who stole their rental board. It took at least an hour before we sorted the problem out. He definitely deserves an unforgetable board and Jones snowboards are one of a kind exceptional.
So good! Who you ride with makes it better than it could ever be alone. Last weekend we were some low landers sucking wind and hiking through 11-12k feet doing our best in-bounds imitation of this very thing. Sucking wind, my buddy Bo dropped his board on the ridge to rest. I heard him exclaim "NO!" only to turn and see his board sliding away over the backside of the mountain into the abyss. So bummed even though it was a fitting end to his 10 year old board with more core shots than a shirtless Instagram influencer's personal photographer. He had to hike himself back out while I took powder turns, terrible friend . He needs a new board along with our other buddy whose ride is 15 years old. Great video, thanks for the joy.
On my last trip had most epic time with my friends drinking and singing karaoke songs ( I'm amazing singing tequila 😉) then waking up hangover to the best bluebird powder day ever. Feeling sick was never this awesome before 😆, the only downside was that I didn't have Jones board under my feet and was riding park camber board in powder. So hopefully I can score one for myself and my friends for the future 🤞🤞🤞🍀

♥ 😍🥰 wish i could snowboard some day with Jeremy Jones.
My first time snowboarding was in Whistler. I didn’t take lessons because I had planned on skiing and by the time I got there, there were no lesson times available. Well it snowed so hard and there was so much powder and I kept twisting my knees skiing. So I told myself, I either have to teach myself snowboarding or this is a wasted trip. I spent two days, falling and catching my edge, but day threw it just clicked. Since then, I’ve never stepped foot in a pair of skis. This past season, I taught my son and wife how to snowboard in park city with the same basic principles I used to teach myself and by the third day they got it! I need a new setup because I’ve always rented and would love to someday own my own. The mountain twin has been at the top of my list.
Awesome video, can’t wait to see more! Funny story: My friends and I were riding Breckinridge imperial express, then hiked up to the ridge, very cloudy with poor visibility (had to send it anyway). We were all follow my friend Brian, headed for some awesome shoots down the ridge, but with the conditions he decided to take a “different route”. Needless to say we ended up on a shallow rocky section that absolutely destroyed the base and edges of our boards. We laughed about it later but it was actually super gnarly in the moment. Brian rides at the back of the pack now...
I've had my hoverboard for 4 years now and it is my only board I've never desired anything other than that until recently getting into 180s and 540s and it's almost impossible to learn on a fish tail board. Don't really have a funny boarding story so that's about it. Thanks for being a great brand and being environmentally friendly wouldn't want to get any other product. Jones provides so much style, durability and integrity to their products, I will never stop recommending this brand.
Reminds me of Holden H and I touring up baldy with our all mountain twins strapped to our back. Brought up shovels and Built some beautiful kickers to send on the twins and then rode down into the sunset. That being said, encountered some nasty hidden “gems” under a fresh snow dusting.
The Unridable Mind Expander Twin: As soon as my husband saw this snowboard it was immediate love at first sight. Sadly, this work of art was SOLD OUT everywhere near us. We’re 1/2 way between Seattle and Portland. Well, while he was waxing up snowboards one night I got an idea. I will find this snowboard and I will buy it! Armed with my phone in one hand and computer in my lap I set out on my journey. I looked at every retailer in the US. Everywhere. It was sold out. So I turned my sights to Canada! I worked my way from the West Coast to the East. I found ONE in Quebec! But they don’t ship to the US. Using my quick thinking I contacted a friend in BC. He was so gracious to agree to my plan! I bought the snowboard and shipped it to him, and in turn he turned around and shipped it to me! I was so excited this plan was taking place! Three weeks later, it was here! I was so excited for my husband to get home from work so he could open the box! I couldn’t wait to see this board in person! He got home, admired the box and the journey it had just completed. He opens the box, pulls out the board, and we see the sticker. LONE WOLF edition! NOOOOOO!!! This is way too wide for his size 8 feet to ride! I was so disappointed, I cried a little about it! Such an epic surprise, all that work. For the wrong size! It now sits in the living room, plastic still on. Waiting for a JJ signature at some point! It would be epic to get him one in the correct size.. Also, great video! 🤙🤙
Absolutely loved this movie. Kind of reminded me why I love snowboarding with friends. So here's my contest entry story. It's nothing grand, but it's one of my favorite times on the mountain with my brother and friends. A couple winters ago some friends had come to visit. I live just 15 minutes away from the local resort, so naturally we got some passes for the week and made plans of how and where we wanted to spend our days on the slopes. Two of my friends are skiers, and one of them in particular was skiing for the first time. The rest of us are snowboarders, and all have at least a few years on the mountain. On the second day, we woke up to realize we'd been blessed with a ton of snowfall. Everyone was stoked af! After doing a few laps that morning, we decided to check out a piste we'd been ignoring so far. Turns out, it had a fun looking sidehit so we went back, making plans of what we were gonna try when we got to it again. The hype got to the newbie skier, and he said he was going to try hitting it. We mostly laughed and taunted he wasn't going to have the guts. Imagine our surprise when, despite him never having attempted to jump literally anything before this moment, faced the smallish cheese wedge head on, tucking to gain speed. We didn't even get to warn him that he was going too fast, mostly because we all broke into laughter at the scene of a stumpy dude exuding determination to prove us wrong. Full. Send. You know how a snowboarder falling down is mostly just that person doing some sort of rolling gingerbread cookie impression, whereas a skier falling tends to be a chaotic affair of shit flying in all directions? Right, our friend managed to explode mid air, losing a ski and a pole before even touching ground again. To this day, whenever we recount this memory we just cannot stop laughing for a good 10 minutes. Last year, our town didn't receive tourists due to the pandemic. We've got big plans for this year :) Why do my brother, my cousin and I need the new setups? Well, while we're all due for an update and can't really afford it, we don't _really_ need it; all that matters to us is the company and friendship that build these memories. We definitely wish we had sick gear though, I'd personally gain a lot in having a better possibility at progressing as a snowboarder and my brother could totally use a new pair of bindings at least, they won't hold together for much longer!
Boys and I were out enjoying the day-skinning, getting some footage and kicking it back. When one transition I peeled the skins off, connected the board into two. A buddy then passed me a energy bar and I put my board down and off it went into the distance never to be seen again 😂 the same day I lost my brand new drone. Let's just say this guy needs some luck! Cheers!
Awesome video, those guys are livin the life! Me and my two friends Ryan and Ben definitely are in need of some new boards - this past winter was a little light on the snow on the East Coast in Upstate New York, but that didn't stop us from getting into the backcountry! On the steep trails and thin icy snow of the Adirondacks we banged up our boards pretty good with some core shots and rock dents, but it was worth it to get out there for some sweet turns. The Jones boards are top of the line for us and would love to get them on these mountains!
Me and my friends are entering this contest because we love to shred all we talk about when it comes to snowboards is jones, and my two friends are in dyer need of a new setup, so winning the contest would be totally amazing. Thanks for reading this and best of luck to everyone.
My brother and I have been snowboarding for as long as I can remember. When our parents divorced when we were 12 and 14, we threw ourselves into the mountain to escape the confusion we felt. Years later, my brother “Brr” is still my snowboarding partner. He introduced me to Jones snowboards. He let me ride his Flagship for the first time at a cat trip on Stevens after we barely made it on time dodging downed trees and pushing a log off the road before the sun was up that day. I was excited to ride with him on my Ultra Mountain Twin this year on our Trip to Targhee. Not sure who was more upset me or him when he dislocated his shoulder a month out. I know he would have taped his arm to his side to ride with me but I wouldn’t let him. Now we are moving farther apart: him to Colorado and me to Central Oregon. I know it will be harder to ride together. But, I promise you Nate that we will always ride because you are my best riding partner. With new split boards we could keep escaping into the mountains together. I love ya Brr.
I started learning to ride last year and I made a goal to "try one new thing" every time we go to the mountain. This year I've been working on black diamonds and riding in the trees. The last time we were up we had a bit of a party lap going and I agreed to follow my friends through a tricky trees section. We were riding and stopping, planning routes through so I wouldn't get stuck or lost. We go to one section and my instructions were "stay high, cut right of the stump and left of the big rebar X." I stayed high, cut around the stump and when I got to the X I panicked and went right...right was a creek haha. I saw it coming and tried to jump and flying squirrel myself onto the opposite bank. I did pretty well and landed about halfway up and stuck. I couldn't reach down and get to my board off so I ended up having to basically do the worm crossed with a snow angel to swim my way up the bank and avoid sliding down into the creek.My best friend sat there laughing and watching me try and commando crawl my way out. I made it though and the next lap we went right back to the same spot and I nailed that section!
Went snowboarding last winter with all of my friends for the first time and we had a lot of fun We accidentally went to the top of the mountain first, and one of our friends had to call Ski Patrol to come carry him down on the sled😂😂. Been wanting a Jones Snowboard ever since I found out who y’all were! Would love to rock one of them!!
Nothing beats getting together with some friends drinking a little Jameson Irish Whiskey and hitting the slopes. We need some new boards because, well we've been living off rental boards and would love to have a nice jones board to call my own and shred the slopes with.
Dumper Day in Steamboat, got ran over twice trying to navigate the trees and deep pow. Also took a stump to the ass which made for a pretty fat bruise- wouldn't trade these days for anything. Navigating to steamboat wasn't a breeze either. Three hour drive from western CO back to Denver to pick up our boy at midnight from Denver airport. Then drove the 4 hours through the night to get to steamboat in the thickest of snow. woke up 3 hours later, tired, but frothing, and got the best powder day of my life- and the best day of riding w a sick group of dudes. Need these boards to get myself on a mind expander for some deep snow float and more days like the one we had!
Me and my buddy were bootpacking in hatchers pass Alaska a couple years ago. Were in 5th or 6th grade, and we got dropped off by his mom and started up the snow-machine trail, and we decided on this spot we were going to hike up too. And we’re hiking up this hill, no packs just two young kids carrying our boards up the side of this mountain . And we get about 3/4 of the way up this thing and he dropped his board. And I remember watching his face as his board slid all the way down to the snowmachine trail and then he just laughed and slid down the side of the mountain on his belly. And I still have that same never summer board my uncle gave me a couple years prior that I was using on that trip, and now I’m a junior going to school at wasilla highschool. Still shredding the powder in hatchers on that old board that’s 15-20 years old.
Geat video, inspiring me to make a snowboarding RUclips channel in a few years. I would love to be shredding with my boys denver and wild, both of them just got into snowboarding last year but have fallen to love it. Ive been going for about 13 years now. I think we’d be the perfect group to win, and we would not disappoint with gnarly shredding content. Good luck to all, and i really hope you choose us😁🤗
Great lines, solid dudes. Thanks for releasing a late season video to keep the stoke going! We ride with a guy that is still "clicking-in" to a 1990s rig that is a lot closer to moon boots on a piece of plywood than it is to any respectable snowboard setup...The amount of flack we get in lift lines is only matched by the amount of sass he throws back. To be honest he will probably get a little upset with me if I show up and try to get him on a new setup...I can't wait to try!
My buddy and I are notorious for cutting through deep powder and getting stuck. Last year on the first day of a three day trip, his binding strap snapped off and he obviously fell going through 2 feet of pow. Took us 45 mins to try and climb ourselves out to an area where we could head down again. Would transform our riding in fresh powder with some new boards geared toward that type of riding!
So one Day a friend who is a really good rider just slept at the end of a lift and sat straight on her highback... Everyone laughs because it's very rare to see her fall like that. The problem is that we had to call the rescuers because it split her asshole and split his highback in two ... Since that Day, we have all been very careful to fold our highback down when we take the lift. We all need new equipment because this year we have been riding on rocks during all the winter in the south french alps. Our boards are really ruined and then she's still missing a highback. Thanks again Jones;)
I got a good group of buddies I shred with all the time. One of these guys in particular is a big time penny pincher and just bought the cheapest pair of bindings and board he could find. He’s been riding this board for about a year and he always got shit for how small his board was (keep in mind this dude is over 6 feet tall.) Anyway one day we end up googling his board and find out this big dude has been riding a Women’s board for the past year. Now he really gets an ear full everytime he comes out. Getting this guy a new board in particular would save him some face because he is stubborn has hell. We’ve also been trying to drag him out into the backcountry so getting a splitboard in his hands would be huge.
One day a friend and I were skiing in Bulgaria, beautiful slopes and weather. But one day we wanted to ride freeride and turned to the woods. We were going pretty fast, going around all the trees and at one point I lost my friend from sight. At the same time he shouted ahead, demanding me to stop. I slowed down, and when I got to the place where he was yelling from, I saw that we had come to a drop-off. Down about a hundred meters away, people were screaming at us to get away so we wouldn't fall over. It was very scary, but at the same time memorable for a lifetime. But the problem is, what in this trip we was skiing really hard and fast, unlucky all of us scratched our old Jones snowboards. So this is the reason, why we need new boards. To do more crazy and exiting things on this awesome desks!
This winter was not so good. I spent 20 days in a hospital and another 40 days recovering. The snowfall in Greece was incredible but me and my friends could not get out there because of the quarantine. One sunday we decided to grab our splitboards and head to our local ski resort. About 10 klm before the police stopped us and told us to turn back. Of course we turned back and went from an other way. One more hour driving a very bad road. Finally we got there and we had a foul day in a closed resort. All lifts closed and no people at all. A dreamed day... We all ride old and used snowboards and a new set would be the best gift for us. Thank you Jones 🇬🇷❄️🏂🤞
I'm 63, had a hip replaced, live in Big Sky and have been riding the carbon flagship for 5 years. That board has been a game changer for me. Thnx JJ for the tool to rip Big Sky!
I just started snowboarding a few months ago and have found a love for it. I’m currently using an old battered board that I’m borrowing from my cousin. This board has been great but I’d love to have something to finally call mine and take on some proper adventures!
I just got back from the PNW, first time out there. Third time out riding in big mountains, caught a POW day at Mt. Baker and did my first butter. Ended the trip hitting Crystal with knee deep and dumping all day. Stoked for getting back into the big mountains, hoping to next season, or at least the back country at Mt. Bohemia. We could use the new set up after beating up ours for some years, my Jones mountain twin is amazing and it’s getting some time behind it. My biding are getting old and are gonna probably be replaced next year. My crew could use a general gear update, one board, a mountain twin, flew off a roof rack and took a tumble on the road and has had the delam glued but is numbered in days.
This past January at Mt bachelor me and my two friends Brody and Randy were heading up to the mountain on my birthday. When we checked the forecast when we left home at 3am it said that they had just got 5 inches of powder overnight. When we got there it was the best birthday present ever the snow was amazing even on our old boards and bindings we bought for 180$ combined between the three of us off of Craigslist and Facebook 😂 None the less we still had an amazing time but some new boards would help us tear the mountain up next year and have a blast!
I picked up snowboarding last year. I like to think I’ve gotten pretty decent at it over time. When I was just getting the hang of everything, I went to a resort with a couple of friends when the weather warmed up a bit. Terrible decision! It was icy and we fell so many times. I ended up having to buy body armor to protect my tailbone which took a while to recover from all the falls. We only did a few runs and ended up leaving in lots of pain, but it was a good learning experience! If I’m chosen for the giveaway, I’d give the board to a friend of mine who hasn’t had the chance to buy his own gear yet. Loving my Jones Mountain Twin! Some of the best boards around.
Me and my three friends went to Gerlos, Austria (not to be confused with the Kangaroo country). We had a bit much of a drink one night, so one of the guys suddenly pulls out 4 costumes. Turns out he brought them all along. We put the costumes on and almost died laughing. One was Santa, two nuns and a christmas tree. We went to the bar with it, hell, even met some girls. We kept our costumes on and went snowboarding with it the next day while feeling very hungover but still the nuns, santa and the christmas tree went shredding like crazy. Had a blast that week, will always remember it. Dope video by the way!
Been snowboarding for almost 5 years. My brother in law and father in law are all interested in purchasing Jones boards. Next year we are planning to hit the slopes in Japan and would love nothing more than to break these bad boys in out there!
Each winter I head to Grand Targhee to post up for a while. This winter our crew was 4 deep of all mid-50 yr old snowboarders. We were up frothing every morning waiting for the lifts to run and rode well into the afternoon's for days on end. Most of my buddies Only have one all mountain board. We had a few pow days where I busted out my Jones Storm Chaser and floated on by everyone! I would be stoked to help get a few friends on pow specific surf sticks like a Hovercraft or Storm Chaser!
My buddies just traveled up to the PNW to visit me after I moved. We got into some epic pow and it’s the best trip I’ve ever been on. We would love to win these set ups and continue to meet up and ride together with some new boards. We are already planning more trips in the future so we can make more memories like the ones you guys have in this awesome short film.
Fresh boards for some fresh pow is needed for the boys. Skied most years and Only boarded once but skiing doesn't even come close to boarding. Would love some new shedding wheels to create some mad story's and memories
It's just coming up to snow season in Australia and while I've been riding for 10+ years, some of my friends are just getting into the sport. So last season we are riding around Perisher on a complete white out of a day which makes life hard but there was some fresh snow (which is pretty rare here). We knew the mountain pretty well so we wouldn't get lost but decided to try to find some untouched lines later in the day. One of the boys rides down and sees this amazing looking kicker. We all stopped about 10m (30ft) above it and eyed it off and it didn't look too crazy so we decided to give it a shot. One of the newer guys (all guts, minimal brains) decided to take the first line and hits it at a decent speed, and just drops out of site. We all get super concerned for our friend and ride down to the hit as soon as possible. He has taken off and just landed backside first into about 2 foot of windblown powder and is laughing his freaking ass off. Took us a good 10+ minutes to pull him out of the wet stickey pow but all is good. We rode down to the bottom and grabbed a beer. Amazing day!
After 15 years of riding the same board, I took the dive a got a mountain twin, changed my snowboard life. The best stories are the ones when you watch your new riders advance and become more confident snowboarders, learning tricks and picking up tips along the way. Then listen to there stories and the "monster" air they got on that jump.
I ride with my partner and his brother. I have lots of funny stories between the three of us (especially with them teaching me how to ride... oh boy), but the real spirit of us riding together has shown up more in the challenging times. I was riding in a grove of trees and lost control and ended up giving myself a concussion. I was terrified- my partner was at home and I was alone in the trees. I was in a lot of pain. Thankfully his brother and I have become so close through hours and hours of driving to the hill and riding together, I knew I could call on him for anything. He was on the mountain that day and was the reason I got home safely. He checked on me through my recovery, and both him and my partner were there when I started riding again. I was a bit nervous to shred after my fall, but they were nothing but encouraging, gentle, and patient. We hype each other up, we laugh at the stupid mistakes, and we're there for one another when the sport really challenges us. My boyfriend and his brother are both really in need of new equipment. It's been overdue forever. My boyfriend's board is way too big for him and makes riding well (and safely) far more challenging than it should be. His boot BOA broke this year, as did his binding. His brother's board is delaminating!!! Both were picked up cheap at ski sales in recent years because we just didn't have the cash to buy anything else. As much as I wish I could treat them, COVID has made a dent in all our financial situations. To have them win new boards would make me the happiest.
I had to enter the contest because I live my own version of The Lodge Boys with two bros I've been riding with for 10+ years. We had a mishap and the roof rack opened mid drive home after a fantastic day out. All three boards destroyed/lost including my brand new Jones Explorer; I had only ridden it for 2 days. Would love to be able to surprise the other two with some new setups since they don't really blame me but I was the last to close the rack that day. Loved the video, riding like that with homies is always a good time.
Can't stop watching snowboard videos. This season was lost due the virus. Hope soon this will be over. And we will be available to shred and enjoy our life in the full colors!!!
Last time riding with my squad we had just watched Eurovision on Netflix. When we got separated in trees or at lifts one person would yell “YA-YA” and the crew that could hear would respond “DING-DONG”. Group assemble calls are highly recommended.
Awesome music,conditions and nothing better than being with homies in the mountains.teaching my son to snowboard as he does a straight line gapper bomb on easy runs and threads the needle between others on the hill and survives and doesn’t take anyone out. Now he’s a very good snowboarder just 2 years later. What awesome memory’s could be made with winning some New boards from Jones.
Ok well first, tomorrow is my birthday, so for that reason alone I mean, l you guys have the power to make me the happiest birthday boy that there ever has been. Also, I recently went board shopping and without ever having heard of the ultra mind expander before, it spoke to me. I was raptured. I knew I needed it, I knew it would expand my mind unlocking hidden snowboarding levels I never thought possible. No matter what happens, you’ve got a Jones rider for life. Peace and love.
Fatty lane at Mt. Snow is a known back trail that leads to a chill spot. A few people built it up a bit with a couple benches and a red bull table. Some cool traditions have came through too. The legends are best told chilling in the pow. One of our last weekends for the season we took a ride down to find a group of scoundrels destroyed it. The boys and I were saddened to see such a cool thing wrecked. Anyway, if you can find Fatty Lane please treat it with respect. Just like we respect the very nature we shred!
The Lodge Boys is great video, It reminds me some epic trips to Italian Alps with my friends during the early nineties. The essence of snowboarding, powder, friends and great landscapes. I'm 54 and I felt in love with snowboarding in the '88. Since there I've never stopped to surf the mountains. I shared the love of snowboarding with my whole family..my daughters and my wife are also passionate snowboarders! Now due to the pandemic all the Italian ski side resorts are closed and also we can't move between regions and in lots of cases we can't move from our town (so we can't even use the split..). I hope next season we could be back on our mountains and have great sessions in the deep pow with friends. Ah... thanks a lot for creating shapes like the Storm Chaser a fantastic pow stick!!!
Worked great on about 6"-8" of average snow starts to struggle a bit past 8". ruclips.net/user/postUgkxoHYZbq5g9fkcAtinlTqstNlje-UQkCHN Very light weight and the chute spin control works well. For the low price you get a ton of value. My only complaint is managing the cord as it does take a fair bit of effort to watch and pull the cord out of the way. I found myself having to whip the cord out of the way a lot when I needed to make one way passes to mange the blow direction. It's less of an issue when you can work both directions. A battery powered version would be a lot easier to handle but that is also double the price and requires battery care. I chose the corded version so I didn't have to worry about batteries but I do now see how much work the cord is. I let my neighbor borrow it and it outperformed his smaller gas blower, he was totally sold. Very pleased with the power and operations.My only suggestion is to spend a bit more on a cordless version if you have budget for it. The cord is a bit more of a headache than I thought it would be. Very pleased with the Snow Joe brand and quality.
I love to ride snowmobiles up in the rocky mountains and shred untouched powder like just like these LEGENDS! The only problem is I have to ride it on a snowboard that was definitely NOT meant for powder. The snowboard also got just a little burnt on the sled. If I got to ride a Jones I would take it to the craziest spots and ride it all the time!!!
20-21 season was my first season snowboarding. At the young age of 40, my wife taught me how to snowboard. Last weekend we hit every black diamond Heavenly Ski Resort had to offer.
I look forward to snowboarding for the rest of my life. Yeah, it hurt like hell learning, catching an edge sucks. But nothing is better than floating on POW or cutting through trees!
Best of luck to all!!! 🏔🏂🤘🏻
Awesome brother!!! I started at 33...Any age is a great age to start riding! Kudos to you wife for getting you started!
Jones this is not only boards its something different.Thanks for the good vibes.
Jones Board Giveaway.
This reminds me of when my buddy & I decided to drive cross country. We made the decision and left a week later in my subaru outback with the main goal of hitting national parks & getting as much pow as possible. Two days after we left, our hometown mountain (Mount Snow, Vt) got hammered with 2 ft while Mt. Hood & Breckenridge were having some of the worst conditions in years ( two of our destinations). Finally, on our way home, Jackson Hole blessed us with 17 inches. So, mother nature decides to tease us at the beginning of the trip, but we quickly learned she has a sense of humor as we were having the time of our lives in Jackson
Hello everyone in the snowboard community!
Due to the lockdown, here in Italy, I started to really appreciate freeriding. It's more physical and requires more courage than riding through slopes. This year I taught my friend how to snowboard with an old and scratched board and now he rides a lot better than me. When I'm relaxing at home drinking a hot tea he's going down a hill like crazy, everyday. He definitely deserves a new board, and I need a new one to follow him. Cheers from Italy!
Two years ago I bought my very first snowboard. Living a few hours away from any kind of mountain, I went to the nearest hill. This place made ice for snow and I went so often that my butt cheeks were bruised for close to a year afterwards. When my boyfriend finally took my to Fernie in British Columbia with all that pow! It didn’t hurt to fall down, even when I did the Scorpion and my board smacked the back of my helmet!!

Riding out at Keystone 3 weeks ago and my to be brother in Law Erik. Rides my dads board because he is without his own.
Goes FULL SEND. Had us the best of days you can ask for a season ender...
but... last run the phones came out to capture perceived greatness. With that came phone muscles. Erik flew off a nice mogul on the outside of a steeepy double black. Nailed the tree. Got the best video. But broke my dads board ! My dad loves Jeremy Jones more that most of our immediate family. Please let us win haha. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🤞🏻🤞🏻
I love this guy's......deep powders and crazy lines....it reminds me the day that me and my friends lost its other because of the deep fog that cover the whole mountain....we found it's other 2 hours later..totally exhausted and completely lost near a village...With every breath we still got we try to find a hostel to spend the night.The next day in a try to configure what it goes wrong as we understand where are we...start the trip for the way back to find where is our car........3 hours and 10 kilometers later we find it.......totally exhausted and ripped off by the 10 kilometers walking on powder.....find the way to drag our selves back to our homes........unforgettable memories
My board ride me for 15 years....it is time to mount it on my wall and get a new one to continue my riding...
Started snowboarding in the late eighties on an old Burton Cruizer 165, loved it! Went with my buds at night, when we weren't allowed on the hills, to a hill in our city by bus carrying our boards and wearing Sorel boots and built a jump right near Beaver Lake. Great times. Later on I moved out to Banff and it was time to invest into new gear. I was so stoked and literally slept with my new board! Amazing runs in the Rockies with a lot of great friends and acquaintances who pushed me to the next level. One day am out with my 2 best buds who were a lot more advanced in skills than myself but I did everything to keep up with them including a cliff drop that made me question my life! We bumped into Jay Kay (Jamiroquai) who was hitting the slopes and following year MCA (Beastie Boys).... So many great experiences, being pushed to your limits, meeting great peeps from all around, the parties, and throughout all this doing it with your 2 best friends, these are memories i'll never forget and re-unite us once every year at some hill of our choice for a week of sheer bliss riding and reminiscing of times gone by...and to come.
Was up at the hills with my friends recently and bumped into this kid who proceeds to express himself about my board..."wow that's a relic!" Now I was in between laughing and shocked, and to see my best friends cracking up behind me! I'm like "whats so funny?" Answer: "Dude, you bought your board in 2000!" I'm like proud and am like "yeah?" Now I am aware of the fact that Snowboard technology has developed triple fold since I bought my board, but am so comfortable with it and still feel like it is the bomb! But then reality of the kids comment and my buds laughing their asses off at me all led to me realizing its time to update! That's what your good friends are for, to always support you no matter your choices as long as you are happy and also be there to remind you of when it is time to let go of the past and move forward with the new!
My friends and I have always loved snowboarding but, growing up broke in SoCal, all we really had to ride was big bear so we had yet to see the real potential of the big mountain. This year we became lifties at Squaw, testing ourselves in Tahoe and seeing the true mighty terrain it represents. We’ve pushed ourselves to our limits, hitting all of the chutes and cliff drops that make Squaw famous. We want to continue to grow as both snowboarders and lovers of mountain life, and some sweet Jones birds certainly wouldn’t hurt
In my 40s, just started boarding 4 years ago. Late to the game, my crew has pushed me to my limits, forcing me to get better fast, and now can handle most terrain - have them to thank. Sidecountry, off-piste, we’re always hiking to find the goods - that’s come at a cost, as our boards are pretty beat up from hidden rocks and boulders. These boys have been responsible for some of my favorite memories, and never leave me behind - would love to pay them back, just a little.
Bonus: I spend more time than I’d like with my board facing the sky, and it’s killer advertising - that Jones logo looks extra awesome when seen from the lift!
If you’re not falling, you’re not trying hard enough! Props to you Jason 🤙🏼
@@josephnetska7118 I must be trying really hard, then... 🤣
Back in the days when snowboarders where still a novelty in Austria, there was one guy in the resort who hated snowboarders from the guts for no reason. His name was Heinz. Heinz was a guy like you would imagine someone like that. Beer belly, ski pants too tight for his thick thighs and an angry mustache. He even had a belt that was essentially a cow belt (minus the bell, god forbid).
Anyway, he was responsible for a T-Bar that lead to the very top of the resort. He played all kind of bad jokes on snowboards only. Like casually forget to stop the T-bar after one of us fell. Sometimes, people who fell down were pulled along and the bastard just laughed. Because we just started snowboarding, of course we fell often. But that way we learned even faster. Another cruel joke was to tell snowboarders that the lift is closed fifteen minutes before it really closed. Only to let skiers still up to the mountain.
We never even opposed him, because we were young and feared he would take away our season pass. Fun thing about Heinz was: he would drive a really small car. So one day, me and my guys decided to play a joke on him. We managed to get nearly every snowboarder on the mountain on board, so we carried his car to the very back of the parking lot.
I was hilarious, after the lifts closed, we were waiting for the bus (no one of us had a driving licence) and saw him looking at the empty parking spot in panic. He could not find it, so he needed to take the bus with us. Of course no one said anything, but we all had the hugest grins in our faces while his face was red and he threatened to kill us all if we were responsible for his missing car. I seriously took Heinz two days to find his car, but he never found out who hid it.
We still laugh about it, even 26 years later. It really was the start of our snowboard crew and a long lasting friendship. Three of us still regularly ride together and that are my two guys that I want to share the Jones boards if we win. So that we can continue to have fun in the mountain the next years!

Spending most of my life with my friends one thing that I will like us to thru is snowboarding.Going thru life with this wold be the crown to it.Thanks
Just graduated high school back in may of 2020. Took a gap year because I didn’t want to deal with covid at college. saved up all summer for a pass and was able to get out and ride with some of my best friends from high school. I bought a Storm Chaser in the fall and I love that board. It became my daily driver over an old burton park board that I got in 8th grade. I hit some insane pow on the east coast at Mount Snow when they got over 3’. It’s definitely a season for the books.
Me and my boys all met at a snowboarding festival in Austria (Snowbombing) and we’ve been best mates ever since. For 10 years now we’ve been on many snowboard trips together, even with one mate flying all the way from Oz to join us! From shredding all over the Alps to a few lads bouncing down the Swiss Wall we’ve laughed, cried and sunk several beers along the way. We’re like family and snowboarding is the glue that binds us 🤍 On our 10th anniversary it would be awesome to hook up post-covid and shred on our new Jones setups!
I fell in love with snow boarding while working in Les Arcs, France in my twenties. Bought a second hand shitty board and ripped around the Alps for months. Then life took over, 3 kids and a divorce later and I never had the chance to get back into it ... till I met Sam and his two kids. He convinced me to take our blended family to the hill every week this year; get seasons passes for ourselves AND lessons for all 5 kids. I fell in love with the sport again and Sam got me my first new board - the Jones Mind Expander ...while he continues to ride his 15 yr old one snowboard. With 5 little future shredders ....we could really use the boards for our 21-22 Season to keep the kiddos building memories on the hill!!!
Me and my buddies Benoît and joris we're riding all winter and still do it in our lovely swiss alps.
This winter was really spécial for us cause we had à lot of time for discovering many spots around our home but we lost à lot of boards riding it (we are not pro) and we don't have some big budget to invest in it.
But nevermind, destroyed or not we still riding these stuff and we enjoy spending time in pow/steep lines/ Woods/Park because the only true thing is thé love of snowboarding together or with many friends and family.
Keep going !!!
I've been riding most of my life, always on last year's demo boards I've picked up on sale or just a lower end model because I couldn't afford top-of-the-line setups. My crew and I have set a goal to ride in as many countries as possible before we die - so far I've got the USA (Sierras & Rockies) and Switzerland (Jungfraujoch/Interlaken), and we're currently planning trips to Japan and Austria over the next couple of seasons. We need the SICKEST boards out there to get the job done!!! Jones boards will step up to the challenge and be a lifetime addition to the toolkit as we travel the globe in search of the gnarliest lines mother earth has to offer. Would be honored to win a board and rep Jones globally! Love y'alls energy levels, keep it real !!
After having to stop snowboarding during college to focus on track, me and my crew are getting back into the sport we love. We need new gear as we have small outdated gear, and one of us has no snowboard at all. Now for the story...
On Friday afternoon we started shredding down a blue route called Gassy Thompson. I was a little surprised someone would have named a route after my grandma all the way out here. We were jumping in and out of the tree line but never going in far. Suddenly Alec decided to get adventurous. He carved through an opening between a thin layer of trees that led to some fresh pow on the far side. It didn’t look like many people had gone this way. Maybe that should have been a warning sign.
This wasn’t just fresh pow, it was fresh pow 5 feet deep. Alec’s momentum slowed and he nearly came to a stop. I still had some momentum and had to cut out of the way to avoid a head on collision. I full out yard-saled face first in the snow. I was already two feet under the snow. I twisted to unstrap my boot that was still in the binding. I knew I needed to grab my board and use it to keep me above the snow. I pulled it up over my head and started to work my way up to the surface. I could see Alec doing the same maybe ten yards ahead. We just needed to get back to the tree line.
I kept most of my weight on the board and inched slowly forward, trying to get some forward momentum from my knees and feet as well. But it was no use, I was slowly sinking; my board was hardly keeping me afloat. I felt like Leonardo DiCaprio in the Titanic. I sunk lower still. My life was flashing before my eyes; replaying my proudest moments. I revisited eighth grade graduation, the time I ate a ghost pepper on a dare, the time I drank a whole gallon of milk three minutes later, the time I kissed the 17th hottest girl at my high school.
The vision of Caitlin slowly faded and was replaced by a white light. Kyle “stand up you dumb ass”. It was Paul. He was shining his phone light at me. I looked down. I was almost completely out of the snow and back in the strip of trees where we had first entered. “Am I dead”? “No you’re not dead. You slowly crawled over here and then passed out”. “You started mumbling something like I think you’re actually number 16 and then you started rinsing your mouth out with snow.” Huh, I guess that’s what I get for taking three shots of Tequila at the party deck I thought.
Feelin the vibes of The Lodge Boys. It makes one jealous of their simple yet fascinating life.
Keep goin🤙🏻
Ma homeboys and I started ridin on skateboard decks, went over to snowboards, but with hiking boots and now we‘re shreeding over the alps with proper equipment. Once we drove down a steep 1.780 m mountain at night with skateboard decks. When we almost reached the end there was a drop with rocks between, where we attempted a frontflip. 2 of us dipped in with our heads, almost kissed the rocks and luckily flew past by landing on hella hard ice. Lessons like that made us the best cruiser in town🤙🏻
My friends and I live in southern Ontario, which isn’t known for it’s amazing snowboarding. But we make the most of it fooling around and shredding all the terrain parks we can find. Some of my favourite memories are of all of us learning together in our high school ski and snowboard club. There is one hilarious story that happened on one of these trips where the three of us found a small section of glades that was accessible to the public, which is very rare in Ontario. Once we were on this trail, we somehow managed to make our way off the resort property and on a private double track that took us around to the wrong side of the hill, and we needed to walk for half an hour to get back to the resort! It wasn’t exactly fun but we all had such a good laugh about it and was a really awesome bonding moment that we all had together. We all graduated high school a couple years ago and the three of us have went on to study in different fields, but every year (with the exception of this year with lockdowns) we get back together and shred our hearts out. But we’ve all stuck with the same park oriented setup because that’s really all there is in southern Ontario. It would be so amazing for us to have an opportunity like this to add a second board to all of our quivers so that we can finally have all mountain/ pow boards that can really improve the riding experience when we go on trips to the northwest! Thanks so much for the opportunity and I love this video!! @trev__slalom @ethan.skiv @kesten_boi
I started freeride couple of years ago in Gastein Austria. Looking the secret lines where always fresh snow, untouched terrain. I would like to share this feeling with my friend and her childrens as well. They are open for off piste experiance. My jones board lift me to next level of snowboarding and this is best board for freeride.
Fell over carrying my board. Look up to see my board sliding down the hill. Chase after it, stack it again, my friends are pissing themselves. Board gone. Day ruined. New Board needed! This vid is making me stoked for shredding with my boys next season already.
After 10 years I bought myself a new snowboard for the first time as the Jones Frontier. And just after riding for a week on the Frontier 159, I am already looking to expand my quiver and my mind of course. This competition chance has just been launched on top of my search where I was looking for a Mind expander or a Hovercraft as my second pow board. I value the experience of Jeremy Jones as a freerider for years and the mission to create boards for boarders with the sustainability in mind. To top it all the graphics on all boards are sick. I am thrilled to take my chances and share the boards with my wife and a shredding buddy.
Why we would love to win the boards, as workers in the snowboard industry this winter has been really hard without any work at all. Riding as much pow and slush as possible has been the most fun in this season riding new things and improving our snowboard skills and just try to have as much fun as possible here in Fieberbrunn austria even a broken thumb and sprained wrist didn’t keep us down. Started split boarding when the lifts were closed for the first time ever and found love for it and found new ways to ride even without lifts or places where the lifts don’t go. Love from the Netherlands/Austria
I’ve been a skier for a long time but I got on a mind expander to start riding and now I can’t get enough!
snowboarding means so much because it has brought me so much closer to so many of my friends and will create a lasting connection to come back to. As College rolls up around the corner and all of my friends become spread out over the nation I look towards snowboarding as a catalyst to bring us together. It wouldn't matter the conditions or the place, but simply bringing along my version of the lodge boys helps to strengthen the bonds of friendship and have something to do for years to come. Whatever group gets the board I hope it brings them together for years to come to create a lasting friendship as the lodge boys got. Deus Vult my good friends.
As to why we need the new setups. Firstly I will start with friend #1 who during our last snowboard adventure used his brother's 7 years old snowboard because his bindings were broken and his board was getting torn up. Friend #2 has been looking in the market for a new board after using hers for over 4 years whose bindings are beginning to fall apart. And finally my condition on my absolutely beautiful 2012 arbor coda that I bought from the almighty Craiglist on my 110 dollar bindings that both of the bottom buckles have fallen off of. I love my board and setup, but the time has come to replace such a beast. And while we would love to drop some stacks on a new setup, all of us are going to college this coming year and simply do not have the money to do such a thing.
I'm seriously in love with my snowboard from Jones. This winter came a massive change, everybody waiting when will THEY let us shred the resorts, do our jobs, teaching people and children to ride, like I did, among many others. "IT" did not happen, only tension rising. But my neighbour prepared his little ski area with true love and dedication of a patriot to winter sports and created massive snowpack with additional natural snow layering on the top. This thing was just sitting there, waiting for the skiers who never came. So here is the funny part of the story:
I'm lying down, talking to the full moon with a kind of thanking prayer, happiest being in the universe, because it's finally snowing, yes! Few days before new year and I can ride whenever I want, ‘cause I live in front of the slopes. This winter comes really late, mountains keep us waiting, with exercising our patience comes real blessing and teaching about the way mother nature works. It's 4 a.m. and with me is out Eliška and Kristian. He is trying to teach his beautiful young girlfriend turning on snowboard, but this time it's more of giggling and joking around. In the house is Bára with her dog Monty and my dog Agnar, despite the dogs are completely mixed breeds, both from different parts of Europe, they look quite the same, one ear standing and one flopped. Girls were changing my old working snowboard between themselves. All together we are quite a circus family for the locals. I'm so happy they all came to visit me and snowboard together easing my social separation in the mountain hut. God damn, Eliška would love Jones mountain twin as it looks like she can ride nicely regular as well as goofy. In fact this is nothing but illegal activity, we are not allowed to go out after 9 evening. In the months to come my lock down will become means to exercise beauty of Czech Jizerky and Krkonoše mountains. I try to see it as opportunity for my riding and discovering backcountry, not as a limitation. All I need is company of my beloved dog Agnar and few friends visiting me. For them I need the great Jones boards, for Eliška and others who want to learn how to snowboard and do not have many resources, so we can search for the plains of fresh pow together.

Here are few random photos from the new year visit of my friends and some of my explorations trips from this winter with my dog

Here's an unfortunate accident that turned into an amazing story & the BEST souvenir ever.
I went on my first catskiing trip last year with a couple of friends (bucket list trip). The first ride of the day, the cat driver pulled me aside COMPLETELY beside himself to explain that there had been an accident. My snowboard had slipped out of the basket, which had NEVER happened before, and the cat accidentally crushed it. I just laughed! It was a freak accident and there was nothing he could have done about it. The operation had rental boards for me to use for the rest of the trip. and the cat driver actually made my now ruined snowboard into a "shotboard" - he brought it home, beveled three pint glasses into it, and then signed it "Crushing it" with a sweet sticker. I now have the best souvenir and a great story.
Also, some of my crew may be lodge GIRLS but we sure ride like the boys... Aside from the yearly spring bikini run... It's for charity though... And guys can do it too. Very inclusive.
I think my heart just did a double cork 180 and got 15 feet of air out of my throat after watching this video 😎
The boys and I would love to take these boards on our next set of adventures to Washington and Alaska! This year was the first time I was able to get them into the back country and they loved it! I’m planning a trip for us back home in AK next season so they can experience some of the mountains that made me fall in love with the challenge and adventure the sport has to offer. We all would be grateful to have great gear to aid in the experience. Thanks for this opportunity!
This short makes me wish I had a split setup that would make me put in work to get clean white shots in my face. And the flow/music just makes me want to quit my job and become a snow bum! Thanks 'Boys'!
During this Covid season we were lucky enough to have to be confined to our family bubble. This was my wife and our two dogs. Our days would start with a small hike up the mountain with or boards and dogs. Chill on the hill and watch the sunrise over the range. Then ride out with the dogs in tail. Eat breakfast and then hit the lifts for the day. Once we where good and tired from our ride. We would shed a layer and grab the dogs and a couple beers and go find a spot in the sun and dig out a pit and make our “snow-fa” and listen to music and plan our next day. Season is over for us but. Any wait to do it all again in 8months.
The cornice comrades. Three amigos. Best of friends. Homies. Shredders for life. We’re always looking to expand our quiver. That is usually because one of us drives away leaving our boards in the parking lot at the resort, Hail Mary’s their helmet because they can’t handle their alcohol intake or wears jean overalls on the mountain and try’s to impress the snow bunnies. Btw this is all the same person but we put up with him anyways. So pick us. The friends who will rip the mountain as hard as we rip the bar. New boards for new mems. Thank you for coming to my TEDtalk.
First day of snowboarding ever with the boys with rental boards 7 years back. No instructors and not great snow coverage unfortunately so only one way to learn, trial and error. Took a loooong hike to the start of the slope as the dreaded t-bar was out of the question. I just pointed my board down the slope and sent it hoping i would stop at the bottom. Managed to somehow turn on my toes and caught my heel edge sending me in a backflip landing head first on not the softest of snow as i recall. Managed to get out with a minor concussion thanks to the helmet (always wear a helmet). I got hooked instantly, never missed a season since then but since we only have snow around 2 months per year never got around to buying gear and we have been using rentals.
First new gear would be a moment to cherish forever!
Oh it’s awesome gays! You look great riding together. We ride and laugh together 😎
Riding the lift with my kid brother on a busy day at White Pass WA, I offered him a cool $50 if he would ride the lift all the way back down. After some convincing he decided the embarrassment was worth it. Once we got to the top I couldn't control laughter as he prepped to stay on the lift. I unload and as the chair goes around the wheel he has second thoughts and bails from about 10ft up. He was uninjured and we laughed about it for the rest of the season. A new setup would be sweet as I am in school and haven't been able to upgrade boards in a long time. Appreciate it! Mahalos
Five years ago, I convinced some friends to go snowboarding for the first time. I was the only one in the group (7 people) that knew how to ride so I taught them the basics: how to stand, how to slow down, turns... We spent the whole morning and before I could realize some of them were riding on their own and doing solid turns, they even abandonned me while I was busy with the least prepared one!!
Since then, we’ve been together at the slopes every year, unless this last 2020 due to covid restricions in Spain... I hope we have a better (or just non-covid) season next year so we could ride together again.
A few years back we had a heavy snowfall and were really pumped for the pow day ahead. Got to the top of the mountain and started preparing for the descent. My friend Nikolay, who I tagged on Insta for the contest, strapped in and made just one or two turns before his snowboard broke in half. Needles to say his pow day was ruined, but the deck was pretty old by that time, so he spent the rest of the day drinking tea at the lodge. It would be awesome for the whole crew to get a brand new board, so we can rock those pow days to the max and without any worries.
I love to snowboard since I was young, and Jones got the best looking boards i know, but i've never had the money for one.
This season, i rode a lot of powder and jumped higher jumps than usually. It was really fun!
I have bin riding since I was 3 years old and now I'm 14. I have always just went snowboarding once or twice a year and haven't progressed much up till covid this winter. That's when it all happened and it just clicked. Snowboarding is my favourite thing in the whole world. I just want to go any time I can and if I can't I am watching videos like this. I have found out that trees and backcountry is my kind of snowboarding, but has bin tough to do because I'm on a twin board. I would really love to put your boards to the test and ride them for the rest of my life. Thank you and keep making the awesome vids and snowboard gear.
Had the privilege of owning my first Jones this year and I chose the mountain twin, I can say my perspective on how a board should ride has completely changed. Due to this new found stoke many good times and deep days we’re had and many dings and and wrinkles were acquired along the way would love to win! Cheers boyz!!!!!
Thank you guys, for this video, for awesome snowboards (hovercraft is our favourites) and for saving nature by making them! And thank you for this giveaway, of course! We are ride in Ural, Russia and most local freeriders ride hovercraft and flaghip! We have a lot of snow now, and we really need these awesome snowboards to float up and have fun!
I have always been a skier until my friend riding on a brand new jones mountain twin that has red wood grain top sheet. It was so damn pretty since ski board usually don't have a good pic for the top sheet and it kinda resonates the colour with my hometown wood furniture. The texture is so good that I just couldn't take my eyes off from it. I kept staring and staring and staring while I was skiing. I got real close to him and I have no idea about snowboarding needs a larger S in turning after not skiing for 2 years. Yes, I ended up bombing into him, my boss son. And I was being told by my boss the other day to learn how to ride a snowboard before I can hang out with him.
For most of my life I've been snowboarding on Whistler Blackcomb. Receiving a new board would allow me to improve on my riding as well as help me out financially as this pandemic hasn't been great.
It was one of my friend's first time snowboarding. After a few runs, we went to the lodge to use the washroom. When we finish we couldn't find him. His rental snowboard was still outside and we searched everywhere in the lodge for him. It turned out that after he finished using the washroom, he didn't see anyone and thought we had already left. So he took his snowboard and went down the mountain. The problem was that he took someone else's rental snowboard. So we were left wondering where our friend went and there was someone else wondering who stole their rental board. It took at least an hour before we sorted the problem out. He definitely deserves an unforgetable board and Jones snowboards are one of a kind exceptional.
So good! Who you ride with makes it better than it could ever be alone. Last weekend we were some low landers sucking wind and hiking through 11-12k feet doing our best in-bounds imitation of this very thing. Sucking wind, my buddy Bo dropped his board on the ridge to rest. I heard him exclaim "NO!" only to turn and see his board sliding away over the backside of the mountain into the abyss. So bummed even though it was a fitting end to his 10 year old board with more core shots than a shirtless Instagram influencer's personal photographer. He had to hike himself back out while I took powder turns, terrible friend . He needs a new board along with our other buddy whose ride is 15 years old. Great video, thanks for the joy.
Great! Thanks guys !!!
On my last trip had most epic time with my friends drinking and singing karaoke songs ( I'm amazing singing tequila 😉) then waking up hangover to the best bluebird powder day ever. Feeling sick was never this awesome before 😆, the only downside was that I didn't have Jones board under my feet and was riding park camber board in powder. So hopefully I can score one for myself and my friends for the future 🤞🤞🤞🍀
♥ 😍🥰 wish i could snowboard some day with Jeremy Jones.
My first time snowboarding was in Whistler. I didn’t take lessons because I had planned on skiing and by the time I got there, there were no lesson times available. Well it snowed so hard and there was so much powder and I kept twisting my knees skiing. So I told myself, I either have to teach myself snowboarding or this is a wasted trip. I spent two days, falling and catching my edge, but day threw it just clicked. Since then, I’ve never stepped foot in a pair of skis. This past season, I taught my son and wife how to snowboard in park city with the same basic principles I used to teach myself and by the third day they got it!
I need a new setup because I’ve always rented and would love to someday own my own. The mountain twin has been at the top of my list.
Awesome video, can’t wait to see more! Funny story: My friends and I were riding Breckinridge imperial express, then hiked up to the ridge, very cloudy with poor visibility (had to send it anyway). We were all follow my friend Brian, headed for some awesome shoots down the ridge, but with the conditions he decided to take a “different route”. Needless to say we ended up on a shallow rocky section that absolutely destroyed the base and edges of our boards. We laughed about it later but it was actually super gnarly in the moment. Brian rides at the back of the pack now...
I've had my hoverboard for 4 years now and it is my only board I've never desired anything other than that until recently getting into 180s and 540s and it's almost impossible to learn on a fish tail board. Don't really have a funny boarding story so that's about it. Thanks for being a great brand and being environmentally friendly wouldn't want to get any other product. Jones provides so much style, durability and integrity to their products, I will never stop recommending this brand.
Reminds me of Holden H and I touring up baldy with our all mountain twins strapped to our back. Brought up shovels and Built some beautiful kickers to send on the twins and then rode down into the sunset. That being said, encountered some nasty hidden “gems” under a fresh snow dusting.

As soon as my husband saw this snowboard it was immediate love at first sight. Sadly, this work of art was SOLD OUT everywhere near us. We’re 1/2 way between Seattle and Portland. Well, while he was waxing up snowboards one night I got an idea. I will find this snowboard and I will buy it!
Armed with my phone in one hand and computer in my lap I set out on my journey. I looked at every retailer in the US. Everywhere. It was sold out. So I turned my sights to Canada! I worked my way from the West Coast to the East. I found ONE in Quebec! But they don’t ship to the US.
Using my quick thinking I contacted a friend in BC. He was so gracious to agree to my plan! I bought the snowboard and shipped it to him, and in turn he turned around and shipped it to me! I was so excited this plan was taking place!
Three weeks later, it was here! I was so excited for my husband to get home from work so he could open the box! I couldn’t wait to see this board in person!
He got home, admired the box and the journey it had just completed. He opens the box, pulls out the board, and we see the sticker. LONE WOLF edition! NOOOOOO!!! This is way too wide for his size 8 feet to ride! I was so disappointed, I cried a little about it! Such an epic surprise, all that work. For the wrong size!
It now sits in the living room, plastic still on. Waiting for a JJ signature at some point! It would be epic to get him one in the correct size..
Also, great video! 🤙🤙
Absolutely loved this movie. Kind of reminded me why I love snowboarding with friends.
So here's my contest entry story. It's nothing grand, but it's one of my favorite times on the mountain with my brother and friends. A couple winters ago some friends had come to visit. I live just 15 minutes away from the local resort, so naturally we got some passes for the week and made plans of how and where we wanted to spend our days on the slopes. Two of my friends are skiers, and one of them in particular was skiing for the first time. The rest of us are snowboarders, and all have at least a few years on the mountain. On the second day, we woke up to realize we'd been blessed with a ton of snowfall. Everyone was stoked af! After doing a few laps that morning, we decided to check out a piste we'd been ignoring so far. Turns out, it had a fun looking sidehit so we went back, making plans of what we were gonna try when we got to it again. The hype got to the newbie skier, and he said he was going to try hitting it. We mostly laughed and taunted he wasn't going to have the guts. Imagine our surprise when, despite him never having attempted to jump literally anything before this moment, faced the smallish cheese wedge head on, tucking to gain speed. We didn't even get to warn him that he was going too fast, mostly because we all broke into laughter at the scene of a stumpy dude exuding determination to prove us wrong. Full. Send. You know how a snowboarder falling down is mostly just that person doing some sort of rolling gingerbread cookie impression, whereas a skier falling tends to be a chaotic affair of shit flying in all directions? Right, our friend managed to explode mid air, losing a ski and a pole before even touching ground again. To this day, whenever we recount this memory we just cannot stop laughing for a good 10 minutes.
Last year, our town didn't receive tourists due to the pandemic. We've got big plans for this year :)
Why do my brother, my cousin and I need the new setups? Well, while we're all due for an update and can't really afford it, we don't _really_ need it; all that matters to us is the company and friendship that build these memories. We definitely wish we had sick gear though, I'd personally gain a lot in having a better possibility at progressing as a snowboarder and my brother could totally use a new pair of bindings at least, they won't hold together for much longer!
Boys and I were out enjoying the day-skinning, getting some footage and kicking it back. When one transition I peeled the skins off, connected the board into two. A buddy then passed me a energy bar and I put my board down and off it went into the distance never to be seen again 😂 the same day I lost my brand new drone. Let's just say this guy needs some luck! Cheers!
Awesome video, those guys are livin the life! Me and my two friends Ryan and Ben definitely are in need of some new boards - this past winter was a little light on the snow on the East Coast in Upstate New York, but that didn't stop us from getting into the backcountry! On the steep trails and thin icy snow of the Adirondacks we banged up our boards pretty good with some core shots and rock dents, but it was worth it to get out there for some sweet turns. The Jones boards are top of the line for us and would love to get them on these mountains!
Me and my friends are entering this contest because we love to shred all we talk about when it comes to snowboards is jones, and my two friends are in dyer need of a new setup, so winning the contest would be totally amazing. Thanks for reading this and best of luck to everyone.
Great video with amazing lines, i want more of this !! 😄😄
My brother and I have been snowboarding for as long as I can remember. When our parents divorced when we were 12 and 14, we threw ourselves into the mountain to escape the confusion we felt. Years later, my brother “Brr” is still my snowboarding partner.
He introduced me to Jones snowboards. He let me ride his Flagship for the first time at a cat trip on Stevens after we barely made it on time dodging downed trees and pushing a log off the road before the sun was up that day.
I was excited to ride with him on my Ultra Mountain Twin this year on our Trip to Targhee. Not sure who was more upset me or him when he dislocated his shoulder a month out. I know he would have taped his arm to his side to ride with me but I wouldn’t let him.
Now we are moving farther apart: him to Colorado and me to Central Oregon. I know it will be harder to ride together. But, I promise you Nate that we will always ride because you are my best riding partner. With new split boards we could keep escaping into the mountains together. I love ya Brr.
I started learning to ride last year and I made a goal to "try one new thing" every time we go to the mountain. This year I've been working on black diamonds and riding in the trees. The last time we were up we had a bit of a party lap going and I agreed to follow my friends through a tricky trees section. We were riding and stopping, planning routes through so I wouldn't get stuck or lost. We go to one section and my instructions were "stay high, cut right of the stump and left of the big rebar X." I stayed high, cut around the stump and when I got to the X I panicked and went right...right was a creek haha. I saw it coming and tried to jump and flying squirrel myself onto the opposite bank. I did pretty well and landed about halfway up and stuck. I couldn't reach down and get to my board off so I ended up having to basically do the worm crossed with a snow angel to swim my way up the bank and avoid sliding down into the creek.My best friend sat there laughing and watching me try and commando crawl my way out. I made it though and the next lap we went right back to the same spot and I nailed that section!
Went snowboarding last winter with all of my friends for the first time and we had a lot of fun We accidentally went to the top of the mountain first, and one of our friends had to call Ski Patrol to come carry him down on the sled😂😂. Been wanting a Jones Snowboard ever since I found out who y’all were! Would love to rock one of them!!
Nothing beats getting together with some friends drinking a little Jameson Irish Whiskey and hitting the slopes. We need some new boards because, well we've been living off rental boards and would love to have a nice jones board to call my own and shred the slopes with.
Dumper Day in Steamboat, got ran over twice trying to navigate the trees and deep pow. Also took a stump to the ass which made for a pretty fat bruise- wouldn't trade these days for anything.
Navigating to steamboat wasn't a breeze either. Three hour drive from western CO back to Denver to pick up our boy at midnight from Denver airport. Then drove the 4 hours through the night to get to steamboat in the thickest of snow. woke up 3 hours later, tired, but frothing, and got the best powder day of my life- and the best day of riding w a sick group of dudes. Need these boards to get myself on a mind expander for some deep snow float and more days like the one we had!
Me and my buddy were bootpacking in hatchers pass Alaska a couple years ago. Were in 5th or 6th grade, and we got dropped off by his mom and started up the snow-machine trail, and we decided on this spot we were going to hike up too. And we’re hiking up this hill, no packs just two young kids carrying our boards up the side of this mountain . And we get about 3/4 of the way up this thing and he dropped his board. And I remember watching his face as his board slid all the way down to the snowmachine trail and then he just laughed and slid down the side of the mountain on his belly. And I still have that same never summer board my uncle gave me a couple years prior that I was using on that trip, and now I’m a junior going to school at wasilla highschool. Still shredding the powder in hatchers on that old board that’s 15-20 years old.
Geat video, inspiring me to make a snowboarding RUclips channel in a few years. I would love to be shredding with my boys denver and wild, both of them just got into snowboarding last year but have fallen to love it. Ive been going for about 13 years now. I think we’d be the perfect group to win, and we would not disappoint with gnarly shredding content. Good luck to all, and i really hope you choose us😁🤗
Great lines, solid dudes. Thanks for releasing a late season video to keep the stoke going! We ride with a guy that is still "clicking-in" to a 1990s rig that is a lot closer to moon boots on a piece of plywood than it is to any respectable snowboard setup...The amount of flack we get in lift lines is only matched by the amount of sass he throws back. To be honest he will probably get a little upset with me if I show up and try to get him on a new setup...I can't wait to try!
My buddy and I are notorious for cutting through deep powder and getting stuck. Last year on the first day of a three day trip, his binding strap snapped off and he obviously fell going through 2 feet of pow. Took us 45 mins to try and climb ourselves out to an area where we could head down again. Would transform our riding in fresh powder with some new boards geared toward that type of riding!
So one Day a friend who is a really good rider just slept at the end of a lift and sat straight on her highback... Everyone laughs because it's very rare to see her fall like that. The problem is that we had to call the rescuers because it split her asshole and split his highback in two ... Since that Day, we have all been very careful to fold our highback down when we take the lift. We all need new equipment because this year we have been riding on rocks during all the winter in the south french alps. Our boards are really ruined and then she's still missing a highback. Thanks again Jones;)
I got a good group of buddies I shred with all the time. One of these guys in particular is a big time penny pincher and just bought the cheapest pair of bindings and board he could find. He’s been riding this board for about a year and he always got shit for how small his board was (keep in mind this dude is over 6 feet tall.) Anyway one day we end up googling his board and find out this big dude has been riding a Women’s board for the past year. Now he really gets an ear full everytime he comes out.
Getting this guy a new board in particular would save him some face because he is stubborn has hell. We’ve also been trying to drag him out into the backcountry so getting a splitboard in his hands would be huge.
One day a friend and I were skiing in Bulgaria, beautiful slopes and weather. But one day we wanted to ride freeride and turned to the woods. We were going pretty fast, going around all the trees and at one point I lost my friend from sight. At the same time he shouted ahead, demanding me to stop. I slowed down, and when I got to the place where he was yelling from, I saw that we had come to a drop-off. Down about a hundred meters away, people were screaming at us to get away so we wouldn't fall over. It was very scary, but at the same time memorable for a lifetime. But the problem is, what in this trip we was skiing really hard and fast, unlucky all of us scratched our old Jones snowboards. So this is the reason, why we need new boards. To do more crazy and exiting things on this awesome desks!
I miss snowboarding sooo much. Grew up going to Steven's Pass when I had the time
This winter was not so good. I spent 20 days in a hospital and another 40 days recovering. The snowfall in Greece was incredible but me and my friends could not get out there because of the quarantine. One sunday we decided to grab our splitboards and head to our local ski resort. About 10 klm before the police stopped us and told us to turn back. Of course we turned back and went from an other way. One more hour driving a very bad road. Finally we got there and we had a foul day in a closed resort. All lifts closed and no people at all. A dreamed day...
We all ride old and used snowboards and a new set would be the best gift for us. Thank you Jones 🇬🇷❄️🏂🤞
I have never been snowboarding before and would LOVE to win these to go on a much needed vacation with my best friends. 🤞🏼🤞🏼
I'm 63, had a hip replaced, live in Big Sky and have been riding the carbon flagship for 5 years. That board has been a game changer for me. Thnx JJ for the tool to rip Big Sky!
I just started snowboarding a few months ago and have found a love for it. I’m currently using an old battered board that I’m borrowing from my cousin. This board has been great but I’d love to have something to finally call mine and take on some proper adventures!
I just got back from the PNW, first time out there. Third time out riding in big mountains, caught a POW day at Mt. Baker and did my first butter. Ended the trip hitting Crystal with knee deep and dumping all day. Stoked for getting back into the big mountains, hoping to next season, or at least the back country at Mt. Bohemia.
We could use the new set up after beating up ours for some years, my Jones mountain twin is amazing and it’s getting some time behind it. My biding are getting old and are gonna probably be replaced next year. My crew could use a general gear update, one board, a mountain twin, flew off a roof rack and took a tumble on the road and has had the delam glued but is numbered in days.
This past January at Mt bachelor me and my two friends Brody and Randy were heading up to the mountain on my birthday. When we checked the forecast when we left home at 3am it said that they had just got 5 inches of powder overnight. When we got there it was the best birthday present ever the snow was amazing even on our old boards and bindings we bought for 180$ combined between the three of us off of Craigslist and Facebook 😂 None the less we still had an amazing time but some new boards would help us tear the mountain up next year and have a blast!
I picked up snowboarding last year. I like to think I’ve gotten pretty decent at it over time. When I was just getting the hang of everything, I went to a resort with a couple of friends when the weather warmed up a bit. Terrible decision! It was icy and we fell so many times. I ended up having to buy body armor to protect my tailbone which took a while to recover from all the falls. We only did a few runs and ended up leaving in lots of pain, but it was a good learning experience! If I’m chosen for the giveaway, I’d give the board to a friend of mine who hasn’t had the chance to buy his own gear yet. Loving my Jones Mountain Twin! Some of the best boards around.
Me and my three friends went to Gerlos, Austria (not to be confused with the Kangaroo country). We had a bit much of a drink one night, so one of the guys suddenly pulls out 4 costumes. Turns out he brought them all along. We put the costumes on and almost died laughing. One was Santa, two nuns and a christmas tree. We went to the bar with it, hell, even met some girls. We kept our costumes on and went snowboarding with it the next day while feeling very hungover but still the nuns, santa and the christmas tree went shredding like crazy. Had a blast that week, will always remember it.
Dope video by the way!
Been snowboarding for almost 5 years. My brother in law and father in law are all interested in purchasing Jones boards. Next year we are planning to hit the slopes in Japan and would love nothing more than to break these bad boys in out there!
Awsome lines, awsome buddies and really good music!
Coolest editing I’ve seen! Loving the vibe, keeping it reel and fun. Thanks for sharing the stoke….
Appreciate it!
Each winter I head to Grand Targhee to post up for a while. This winter our crew was 4 deep of all mid-50 yr old snowboarders. We were up frothing every morning waiting for the lifts to run and rode well into the afternoon's for days on end. Most of my buddies Only have one all mountain board. We had a few pow days where I busted out my Jones Storm Chaser and floated on by everyone! I would be stoked to help get a few friends on pow specific surf sticks like a Hovercraft or Storm Chaser!
My buddies just traveled up to the PNW to visit me after I moved. We got into some epic pow and it’s the best trip I’ve ever been on. We would love to win these set ups and continue to meet up and ride together with some new boards. We are already planning more trips in the future so we can make more memories like the ones you guys have in this awesome short film.
Started snowboarding 2 years ago and can’t stop shredding! Love the mountains! 🏂🏔
Fresh boards for some fresh pow is needed for the boys. Skied most years and Only boarded once but skiing doesn't even come close to boarding. Would love some new shedding wheels to create some mad story's and memories
It's just coming up to snow season in Australia and while I've been riding for 10+ years, some of my friends are just getting into the sport. So last season we are riding around Perisher on a complete white out of a day which makes life hard but there was some fresh snow (which is pretty rare here). We knew the mountain pretty well so we wouldn't get lost but decided to try to find some untouched lines later in the day. One of the boys rides down and sees this amazing looking kicker. We all stopped about 10m (30ft) above it and eyed it off and it didn't look too crazy so we decided to give it a shot. One of the newer guys (all guts, minimal brains) decided to take the first line and hits it at a decent speed, and just drops out of site. We all get super concerned for our friend and ride down to the hit as soon as possible.
He has taken off and just landed backside first into about 2 foot of windblown powder and is laughing his freaking ass off. Took us a good 10+ minutes to pull him out of the wet stickey pow but all is good. We rode down to the bottom and grabbed a beer. Amazing day!
After 15 years of riding the same board, I took the dive a got a mountain twin, changed my snowboard life. The best stories are the ones when you watch your new riders advance and become more confident snowboarders, learning tricks and picking up tips along the way. Then listen to there stories and the "monster" air they got on that jump.
I ride with my partner and his brother. I have lots of funny stories between the three of us (especially with them teaching me how to ride... oh boy), but the real spirit of us riding together has shown up more in the challenging times. I was riding in a grove of trees and lost control and ended up giving myself a concussion. I was terrified- my partner was at home and I was alone in the trees. I was in a lot of pain. Thankfully his brother and I have become so close through hours and hours of driving to the hill and riding together, I knew I could call on him for anything. He was on the mountain that day and was the reason I got home safely. He checked on me through my recovery, and both him and my partner were there when I started riding again. I was a bit nervous to shred after my fall, but they were nothing but encouraging, gentle, and patient. We hype each other up, we laugh at the stupid mistakes, and we're there for one another when the sport really challenges us.
My boyfriend and his brother are both really in need of new equipment. It's been overdue forever. My boyfriend's board is way too big for him and makes riding well (and safely) far more challenging than it should be. His boot BOA broke this year, as did his binding. His brother's board is delaminating!!! Both were picked up cheap at ski sales in recent years because we just didn't have the cash to buy anything else. As much as I wish I could treat them, COVID has made a dent in all our financial situations. To have them win new boards would make me the happiest.
I had to enter the contest because I live my own version of The Lodge Boys with two bros I've been riding with for 10+ years. We had a mishap and the roof rack opened mid drive home after a fantastic day out. All three boards destroyed/lost including my brand new Jones Explorer; I had only ridden it for 2 days. Would love to be able to surprise the other two with some new setups since they don't really blame me but I was the last to close the rack that day.
Loved the video, riding like that with homies is always a good time.
Can't stop watching snowboard videos. This season was lost due the virus. Hope soon this will be over. And we will be available to shred and enjoy our life in the full colors!!!
Last time riding with my squad we had just watched Eurovision on Netflix. When we got separated in trees or at lifts one person would yell “YA-YA” and the crew that could hear would respond “DING-DONG”. Group assemble calls are highly recommended.
Wow. That’s B A N A N A S
ima steal this brah
Awesome music,conditions and nothing better than being with homies in the mountains.teaching my son to snowboard as he does a straight line gapper bomb on easy runs and threads the needle between others on the hill and survives and doesn’t take anyone out. Now he’s a very good snowboarder just 2 years later. What awesome memory’s could be made with winning some New boards from Jones.
Ok well first, tomorrow is my birthday, so for that reason alone I mean, l you guys have the power to make me the happiest birthday boy that there ever has been. Also, I recently went board shopping and without ever having heard of the ultra mind expander before, it spoke to me. I was raptured. I knew I needed it, I knew it would expand my mind unlocking hidden snowboarding levels I never thought possible. No matter what happens, you’ve got a Jones rider for life. Peace and love.
Fatty lane at Mt. Snow is a known back trail that leads to a chill spot. A few people built it up a bit with a couple benches and a red bull table. Some cool traditions have came through too. The legends are best told chilling in the pow. One of our last weekends for the season we took a ride down to find a group of scoundrels destroyed it. The boys and I were saddened to see such a cool thing wrecked. Anyway, if you can find Fatty Lane please treat it with respect. Just like we respect the very nature we shred!
