JONES STORM CHASER 2027

If you’re heading overseas chasing deep snow, the Jones Storm Chaser deserves a serious look.

This is a surf-inspired powder board built for riders who want that floating, slashing, quick-turning feeling when the snow gets deep. Its compact directional swallowtail shape gives you a heap of surface area without needing to ride a traditionally long snowboard.

That makes the Storm Chaser incredibly nimble through trees and tight terrain while still giving you the float you’re looking for on a proper powder day.

Heading to Japan? 🇯🇵

This is exactly the sort of board we’d be looking at for a Japan trip.

Deep powder, tree runs and days spent chasing fresh snow are right in the Storm Chaser’s wheelhouse. The wide, volume-shifted shape lets you ride a shorter board while maintaining excellent float, making it particularly fun when you’re weaving through trees or looking for untouched snow.

And it’s not limited to powder. The directional profile, Traction Tech and responsive shape give it enough edge control to carve groomers on the way back to the lift.

HOW DO I SIZE A JONES STORM CHASER?

The Storm Chaser is a volume-shifted snowboard designed to be ridden considerably shorter than a conventional board. A current Australian Jones retailer recommends sizing it approximately 6–13cm shorter than your normal snowboard, depending on how nimble or stable you want it to feel.
