Jones Freecarver 9000s vs Jones Ultralight Project X

How they compare

Both boards are designed for all mountain riding. 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 Ultralight Project X uses rocker (lifted contact points for easier turn initiation, float in soft snow, and a catch-free feel). The Jones Freecarver 9000s is noticeably stiffer at 8/10 versus the Jones Ultralight Project X's 5/10, suiting more aggressive riding.
