Jones Freecarver 9000s vs Jones Storm Chaser

How they compare

the Jones Freecarver 9000s leans more all mountain, while the Jones Storm Chaser leans more powder. They share a directional shape — different nose and tail; built to ride forward with better float in powder and drive on groomers. The Jones Freecarver 9000s has a camber profile (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise), while the Jones Storm Chaser uses rocker (lifted contact points for easier turn initiation, float in soft snow, and a catch-free feel). The Jones Freecarver 9000s is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the stiff range.
