Jones Mind Expander vs Never Summer Snowtrooper

How they compare

Both boards are designed for all mountain riding. The Jones Mind Expander uses a directional shape while the Never Summer Snowtrooper is directional twin. 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 Never Summer Snowtrooper uses hybrid (camber/rocker) (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile). The Jones Mind Expander is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the medium range.
