Arbor Rain vs Jones Mind Expander

How they compare

Both target all mountain and freeride terrain, while the Arbor Rain leans more freestyle, while the Jones Mind Expander leans more powder. The Arbor Rain uses a directional twin shape while the Jones Mind Expander is directional. The Arbor Rain has a camber profile (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise), while the Jones Mind Expander uses hybrid (rocker/camber) (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile). The Arbor Rain is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the medium range.
