My Secret Weapons

By Jeremy Jones Ranked #157 - Snowboards October 21, 2008

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.
