Jones Snowboards is a snowboard, snowboard binding, and snowboarding accessories manufacturer based near Lake Tahoe. The company was founded by renowned freeride snowboarder Jeremy Jones. The company has received numerous awards for its snowboards.[1][2] Jones snowboards are manufactured in Dubai.
Notable Jones models include their signature "Flagship" freeride board, all-mountain "Mountain Twin," and powder-focused "Hovercraft" boards. Since 2018/19 Jones Snowboards have also produced snowboard bindings, built on a chassis using Now Snowboarding's Skatetech. Binding models include the Apollo, Mercury and Meteorite series.
Jones Snowboards has a stated focus on environmental causes, especially the fight against climate change. This includes efforts to manufacture their boards in an environmentally friendly manner, and the donation of 1% of sales to sustainability-focused non-profits.[3] Jones Snowboards also promotes avalanche safety, and includes their "5 Red Flags"[4] in the artwork on some of their snowboards and packaging materials.
In December 2019, Jones Snowboards announced that French snowboarder Victor De Le Rue would join as a new global team rider.[5] Victor went on to win the 2021 Freeride World Tour on the Jones Snowboards Aviator 2.0.[6]
