Jones Howler vs Jones Mountain Twin
Snowboards comparison — 2026-2027 season
How they compare
Both boards are designed for all mountain and freeride and powder and freestyle riding. The Jones Howler uses a directional shape while the Jones Mountain Twin is directional twin. The Jones Howler has a camber profile (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise), while the Jones Mountain Twin uses hybrid (camber/rocker) (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile). The Jones Howler is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the stiff range. The Jones Howler targets expert riders while the Jones Mountain Twin is aimed at intermediate riders. At $599.95 vs $699.95 MSRP, the Jones Mountain Twin is the more budget-friendly option.

Jones Mountain Twin
Jones’s everyday twin, and the easiest Jones to find used. Mountain Twin Pro is a different, scarcer board. Check sidewalls and inserts; do not pay Flagship or Stratos money for a Mountain Twin.
