Jones Mind Expander vs Slash Brainstorm

How they compare

Both target all mountain terrain, while the Slash Brainstorm leans more freeride. The Jones Mind Expander uses a directional shape while the Slash Brainstorm 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 Slash Brainstorm uses hybrid (rocker/camber) (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.
