Snowboards comparison — 2026-2027 season
How they compare
the Jones Freecarver 9000s leans more all mountain, while the Jones Storm Chaser leans more freeride/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 hybrid (rocker/camber) (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile). The Jones Freecarver 9000s is noticeably stiffer at 9/10 versus the Jones Storm Chaser's 5/10, suiting more aggressive riding.
