Jones Aviator 20 vs Jones Stratos
Snowboards comparison — 2023-2024 season
How they compare
Both boards are designed for all mountain riding. The Jones Aviator 20 uses a twin shape while the Jones Stratos is directional. Both feature camber profiles — arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise. The Jones Aviator 20 is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the stiff range.

Used market
What to inspect and what not to confuse when buying used. Not on-snow reviews.
Jones Aviator 20
Jones’s camber-leaning all-mountain board. Used supply is moderate; confirm you are not buying a Mountain Twin or Stratos, and inspect the base and edges rather than paying for a newer season sticker.
Jones Stratos
Jones’s playful freeride/all-mountain shape. Used Stratos listings are thinner than Mountain Twins. Confirm it is not a Mind Expander or Flagship, and inspect the tapered tail before paying a powder-board premium.
