The 2022 Jones Mountain Twin Snowboard Review

[@MisterIvil]

Another accurate review. I have the 21 JMT, couldn't agree more on the board being loose on harder carves off the tail. Being accustomed to the carves on my other board - 21 Capita BSOD, when I first rode the JMT I committed the same way, the snow was slushy and when I was exiting the turn I realized I had zero control, this thing just washed out on me. Other than that it’s a great board, you can play with it, you can slash some pow as Angry mentioned. It’s also good for those who want to progress with their switch riding as the 3d shaping makes it more forgiving.

[@jizzsawpuzzle]

Agreed. I caught my edge twice now exiting from a hard toe side carve into heel due to the tail being loose on the exit. The first time on perfect groomers and second time was on slush.

[@anah9288]

High speed carving and Steeps/Technical are the lowest scores for this board at 5/10 (assuming it's a 10 scale) so that's not surprising. They literally tell you it's not for that...

[@chasesyverud8984]

This board just came to my house and it looks so incredible. Whoever created the decal for this needs a raise. The pictures online do not do it enough credit. My favorite art on a board ever

[@clmfilms8103]

That's what I love about jones boards. I've ordered a frontier, and the sunset mountain with the ridge that flows down the board then fading into dark blue/black looks incredible

[@fuzzymuffinsthe3rd]

@@clmfilms8103 great. Started in the morning with fresh snow. Held edge well , carving was smooth and fast . On flats I was much faster and stable compared to my old board. Biggest problem for me is it's my biggest board ( 165w) and I had to get used to the heel toe with it. Also I used factory wax and edge. Next time I go it will be fresh wax and edge. I had a problem in the late afternoon with icy runs and edge hold... also most of the people did 😅.

[@Dan-uc7kt]

That board comes tuned to perfection . You shouldn’t mess with it for a while

[@T0DDACUS]

Thanks for the review, Just bought a 2023 Jones Mtn Twin 156W, paired with Burton Malavita bindings. I’m excited to see what it can do come snowboarding season. I will possibly take it to Big Snow to warm up on it before the season starts to get a real feel for it.

[@gpaull2]

Just rode the 2023 mountain twin. This thing rips. Almost holds an edge as well as my Aviator…worlds better than the Ride Shadowban that you’ve been praising in 2023. Amazing board.

[@ejhayes76]

I need to ride this board as I like the Shadowban but prefer Jones boards

[@RK-de3uu]

Have you rode the shadowban yourself? How does it compare with the MT and could you take the mountain twin into the park in your opinion?

[@gpaull2]

Yes I own both. Once I got the optimal stance figured out on the Shadowban it became a much better board for me than it was at first. The Mntn Twin is better at hard charging and laying trenches, but the Shadowban holds its own. Either one is fine in the park but the Mntn Twin wants to hit things bigger and harder. It also allows you to be less precise on the landings. The Shadowban is softer and won’t allow your center of gravity to be off as much on the landing. Shadowban is a nice middle of the road playful board, geared more towards a medium pace and having fun. Mntn Twin is for aggressively attacking the whole mntn, but doesn’t wear you out if you want to relax. I’d take the Twin to keep up with my aggressive skier buddies, and the Shadowban with my fellow snowboarders just hitting every little side hit.

[@Jacko1980]

I’ve got the aviator and the mountain twin, imo there is no comparison between edge hold at speed between the two. The mountain twin is good up to a point but the aviator is in a league of its own at serious speeds

[@xin2668]

An update on 23 JMT would be fantastic!

[@AngrySnowboarder]

Why, nothing changed.

[@TheEmpers]

I agree, i found it way too loose and chattery especially compared to the flagship. It definitely feels more parkish than all mountain.

[@markdavidedwards]

@@Hoofcake I ended up keeping the Stratos, never tried the MT. the stratos is awesome except when it’s icy, the 3D base makes the edges a bit washy in those conditions. For softer snow it’s really surfy and awesome for carving

[@SalarymanJ]

I got this board last year as a park/fuck around on board. This is definitely softest board I got, but it’s nice for buttering and messing around on mountain as I go down with the family. I like it in the park, easy to lock in on nibs and I think it’s jumps ok but it’s so flexy if you land tail heavy can be a bit hard to land as it’s can flex like crazy. That said I like messing around in it, plenty of other boards if you want to go nuts carving or hit big jumps. Good for jumping over the skiers falling down in front of you though!

[@Ithariuz]

Hey man, I'm looking at this years JMT or the ride algorythm/shadowban. I do everything from buttering to icy black steeps to sidehits to carving. Like to go fast but also mess around. Unfortunately hardly any pow days here and don't do much park. Do you think the MT is the way to go or are there better boards for my type of riding?

[@anah9288]

@@Ithariuz If you even just look at the MT on Jones' site they rate steeps/technical and high speed carving the lowest (and this review reinforced that) with icy edging just barely less terrible. Prob wouldn't buy a board to ride it for the things it sucks at the most. Moderate powder, Freestyle/Park, and Slow speed slashing are what it's for.

Hey man, love your videos! I was pretty set on getting a MT to replace my 18/19 warpig xl until I saw this. I'm looking for a board that rides switch, can carve, has good grip on ice and can do some sidehits and buttering on. Do you think the MT (or other directional twin) would feel different enough to a warpig or am I better off keeping the warpig and maybe adding a hard charger or something.

[@AngrySnowboarder]

It's just a different ride.

Great ice board

[@ayadal]

I bought this board last year. Love the pop, it’s ability to hit jumps, butter, carve ride in powder and ride switch. However I found it a little washy on icy days on the steepest sections and moguls at Hunter Mountain and Killington. Is there a better all mountain freestyle board that’s a little more aggressive and can handle steep icy sections with moguls?

[@AngrySnowboarder]

You mean like something that is the Ultra version of this?

[@ayadal]

@@AngrySnowboarder makes sense. That was easy. Thought I would have to look elsewhere like the K2 Manifest team or Mega Merc. But I would imagine the grip from the magnitraction on the Ultra Mountain Twin has better edge hold.

Alright Avran, So...... I have my Salomon Dancehaul as my fun, party board. I went out and bought the K2 Manifest Team, per your suggestion, so your videos and advice DOES make a difference! Keep up the great work! But that is my all mountain hard charger. I want to add one more to the quiver. More of a fun playful twin. But something that isn't a total noodle but noodle-ish and playful. Something I can ride switch, hit some small on mountain features and jumps, side hits and rollers, flatland buttering and just playing around on the mountain. Especially with a friend of mine who is a beginner this year, so I want something to mess around on and play with. Is the Jones Mountain Twin the answer or is there something else out there you'd suggest? Bataleon Evil Twin, maybe?

Mountain Twin sure but won't be noodley, so you might want to go with something more like the Capita Scott Stevens or maybe the Ride Kink or K2 Geometric or World Peace.

Nice aristbrocrat. Real nice bro 😎

[@assdiller]

Hi buddy! Coming from Ross the One, which is flat and dead. Need a new board for all mountain freestyle riding - mainly for smaller resorts so no stiff planks or sidecuts thats only good for long drawn out carves! Prefered riding is exploring the mountain, trees, smallerish amount of pow, messing around on mostly natural stuff - jibbing is not my thing. Park is not a must, but should be capable for a sucky rider (trying to improve a bit). Prefer cam rocker for ease of entry and not catching edges and dying (never tried 3bt but wouldnt say no to it) Am I getting this one, the warpig, Yes Hybrid, Bataleon Thunderstorm, Arbor satori? Or anything else?

[@AngrySnowboarder]

Sounds like you're buying this one.

[@jplpagan]

Thanks for the review. I'm mid-40s, ride a week a year in CO resorts, and whatever else I can squeeze in. I'm comfortable on black diamond runs but double blacks aren't fun for me. I like to rip groomers, pow when I can find it, and I hit boxes, easy rails and small to medium jumps, and explore the trees a little more every year. In other words I feel very competent, but I'm not a young buck hucking off 30-footers. I'd been looking at the Mercury, but the MT and Ultra MT *seem* to be a bigger hit with riders in my range. Just not sure if the Ultra would be, as you say, "too much board." Sadly, I really can't try them out and have to buy blind. Recommendation? (my current board is a Burton Nug flattop which is great all around, but not stable at high speed and doesn't float all that well).

Man… i love watching your videos. Props man. Your Ducking jokes dude. I just wanted to add something to this. I bought the 17/18 Jones mt. It seems like almost night and day watching the reviews from then to the reviews of it now. They have changed it so much. My older model seems to fit right between the newer mt and ultra mt. Almost like they made the mt directed for more of a playful freestyle board and the ultra mt for more deep pow, cliff dropping all mountain. I love my mt for when I’m out west In the Rocky’s shredding some mountains and pow and still able to goof around a bit. Now, I’m trying to find something for here in Ontarible that’s a little Softer and playful as we don’t exactly have mountains or that much snow :(. Lol. So we hit a lot park. This newer Jones mt almost seems to be what I’m looking for now. Are there any boards that you would recommend for park but also for those days you just hit some rollies or Side hits ? I was looking at the capita doa or the Salomon huck knife. What’s your thoughts? You probably get annoyed being asked this sh*t all the time but I was just wondering cause I’m pretty much the same weight and height as you and ride the same board lengths ? Thanks. Appreciate it . Anything helps.

Hi Avran, got a question about the snowboard bases, Jones use Sintered 8000 Base while other brands like Korua for example use Sintered P-TEX 2000 base. How do these bases compare to each other? The higher the number, the better? Which would you recommend. Thanks again 🙏

[@kylemartin4010]

Hey Avran, I have a question for you. My lady is learning to snowboard this season, and we are looking at getting her a board of her own (she is currently borrowing/renting). I want to get her on something that she can progress with. I learned a few years ago. I skipped the "beginner" boards, and feel like that was ultimately the right move. Kinda want to do the same for her. She also wants to love her board as a piece of art. She really likes Jones' line, specifically the twin sister and dreamcatcher, in terms of style/graphic. I think it is important to fall in love with your first board, so I am trying to help her pick one that she feels is beautiful, while also getting the right functionality. I highly doubt she will get into freestyle, so after watching this video, I wonder if the twin sister would be the wrong move. However, it also might be a decent board to learn on, given the softer flex? TL;DR got any reccomendations on the dreamcatcher, twin sister, or similarly asthetic boards, suitable for a beginner who wants something to progress on, and who is unlikely to get into much freestyle? PS we are in Ontario (pray for me), but might spend some time in BC this year, and plan to move there in the next two years. PPS maybe you could just yell at her about asthetics not being that important? idk.

[@kylemartin4010]

Alternatively, I actually might be able to grab last years twin sister.. Would that be a better move in terms of flex?

Is it possible for an experienced rider to go from full camber to 3D shaped tips? Do you have to ride them differently, or learn to ride differently? I have riden camber since 1990 and my first 3D shape was the Arbor Iguchi pro camber with the uprise fenders. I really didn't get on with it. I felt like I lost that bite at the end of my turns. I was washing out on carves when I least expected it. Don't get me wrong, I am not hating on the 3D stuff, but am I doing something wrong, or is it just not for me? I had the 2015 Mountain Twin LTD 160 and it has been one of my favourites. I really rate the cam rock set up, and their magne traction, but that was before they introduced 3D tips. All the best.

Thank you for the review. I have a question. Little bit of backstory. I started snowboarding 4 years ago, but progressed quite fast due to prior skateboarding exprerience. I skipped the "beginner" flat / soft boards and bought a "Jones Aviator 2014/2015" with camber and 7/10 stiffness (oh well... didn't know). I actually loved the board feeling, but soon realised it was too aggresive for me. Going really fast was ok, i had good control, and carving was beautiful, but going slower felt like the board was controlling me and i had to push really hard to make turns. It was like the board was trying to fight me and resist. Would you say Jones Mountain Twin would give me that more playful feeling the Aviator lacks ?

​@@XzoltronX Definitely agree. Although I do wish it went just a *little* faster cause I can tell when I hit 40mph that I'm pushing it. I do love the board though. The playfulness makes it feel like a 5 til I load it up, then I can tell it's stiff in the middle. I actually wanted the Airheart 2.0, but even though they say I'm in the weight range (by 10ish lbs), I don't usually like riding boards that I barely weight into. It's a lot of work to ride a board that large when not charging steeps above tree line. I keep looking at the Flagship, but same problem. I'm on the 140 TW now and typically ride 138-142/3. Maybe I just need to gain 15 lbs.

I started boarding in 2019 but was unable to in 2020 because of injuries should I get this as a easing back into things board since I have grown out of the last one or do you recommend something else?

Hi Avran. I'm thorn between this and mercury. What size would you recommend 156w too small I guess. 175pounds, 6ft tall 12us boots. All mountain freestyle.thanks

[@AngrySnowboarder]

56w will work.

[@opfreakx7661]

Glad I got it 2 seasons ago. Id pass on this version

[@jellysnowboards9539]

I didn't ride the one from two seasons ago but I rode last years and it was sick. I'd give it a ride if you get a chance. I'm about to get some Mercury bindings in to see how it goes with skate tech this season.

Yes, because my personal preference should just be thrown out the window.

Is this board good at slow speeds? Rad-dad intermediate looking for slow wide carves/sidehits … while family is cruising riding down blue groomers. Have a freeride/pow charger (DC Supernatant - Got that off your review a couple years back!)… and currently looking for something more relaxing to ride. Don’t really do park, and need a wide board (US11.5). Looking at: Jones MT, Yes Typo.. or even something like Stale Crewzer or the Party Mod. Anything to recommend for slower cruising speed? Thanks!

[@AngrySnowboarder]

Are you good at slow speeds? If you want to be more mellow skip the Stale Crewzer and get a Warden instead.
