The women's Stratos from Jones gives you the deep snow performance of a freeride board with its directional shape and 3D Contour base while still providing great hard snow capabilities with its larger camber profile. The Blunt shaped nose allows for superior glide through powder, crust, corn, or any snow deeper than an inch. With a more forgiving flex this board is easy enough for beginner level riders but still gives you plenty to grow into as you progress. The Progressive sidecut and 10mm taper make this board initiate turns easily with quick transition edge to edge for great maneuverability. Basalt stringers are added to the lightweight paulownia core to reduce chatter and add stability for a smoother ride. Traction Tech adds additional contact points to help provide better grip and edge hold for harder packed icy conditions. Broken in with Jones Forever Flex process which simulates extreme riding to stabilize the flex and rocker profile for the life of the board. Like the other boards in Jones lineup the Womens Stratos is made with Recycled ABS sidewalls and oversized recycled edges along with Eco Plastic top sheet and renewable Bio-resins for a more sustainable product. Whether you are a beginner level rider looking for a lightweight maneuverable board or and more aggressive rider looking for a stable hard charging board, then this is a great option for you.
