I had my go-to powder board I’d been using for years, but I also had the prototype Jones Hovercraft 2.0, and I could bring only one board aboard the helicopter. The Hovercraft 2.0 is considered an alternative directional freeride board, meaning it’s really dialed for off-piste action. The original Hovercraft was released in 2010 as one of Jones' original four snowboards when the company launched. The Hovercraft 2.0 further refines the design, giving it even more float in powder and adding a lot of sustainability. This has become a standard feature on Jones boards, and I’m a big fan.
