Jones Mind Expander vs Jones Mountain Snowskate
Snowboards comparison — 2022-2023 season
How they compare
They share a directional shape — different nose and tail; built to ride forward with better float in powder and drive on groomers. The Jones Mind Expander has a rocker profile (lifted contact points for easier turn initiation, float in soft snow, and a catch-free feel), while the Jones Mountain Snowskate uses other (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile).

Jones Mind Expander
Playful powder/freeride shape. Used examples are worth it when the base is flat and the swallow or tapered tail is intact. A dinged tail or delam around the swallow is a pass — and Mind Expander Twin is a different board.
