<h3>Jones Snowboard - Wide (http://www.tetongravity.com/proshop/jonessnowboardwide_ROS0324.html)</h3><p><em>Jeremy Jones and Rossignol created the Jones Wide Snowboard for dudes with big feet who ride big mountains. Any experienced bigfoot with a penchant for backcountry lines will appreciate the power of this burly board.</em></p><p><strong>Jeremy Jones review:</strong><br />
<br />
I have worked with Rossignol designing boards for over ten years. I
have had a lot of freedom to do what I wanted but I was restricted by
molds. This is the first time I was able to design boards 100% from
scratch. I have had these in my head for ever so to finally make them
has been an amazing experience. Each size is influenced by snow
conditions and the size of the mountains I ride them on. The 158 has
Squaw Valley, Japan, or early season Jackson Hole in mind. It has a
twin profile and has a freestyle/all mountain shape. Some days I spend
all day riding switch on this board but it is still the spine killer.
The 162 is my lower 48 film board with a little bit longer nose then
the 158 for better stomp ability. The 166 is the Europe, or lower 48
"Best day of the year" or Alaska board. It has no speed limit and with
the best nose in the industry stomping airs is effortless. If my life
depends on stomping an air, racing an avalanche or holding an edge over
exposure then I better have the 166 under my feet. It is magic. For
Jonas Emery and Freeride World Champ Xavier Delerue it is the only
board they ride. This is the big gun in your quiver and will never need
replacing.<br />
