Freeride legend Jeremy Jones found himself wanting to access terrain in areas inaccessible by helicopter and snowmobile. Tired of hiking with snowshoes and aware that split boards would allow speedy access to previously unridden mountains, Jeremy parted his ways with longtime sponsor Rossignol and started Jones Snowboards so he could create his own splitboard. The Solution crams all of the features from the Flagship into a splitboard, making it the first and only camrock splitboard with Magnetraction edges. Looking to ride more than just lift accessible backcountry but can’t afford the heli time, Jones Snowboards have the Solution!

Manufacturer's Description:

No lift. No problem. Blaze a trail to free-ride freedom on the Solution, the world’s first Magne-Traction splitboard. Directional Rocker matched with camber underfoot make the Solution your answer for any line within the sight of your eyes and the reach of your legs.

Jeremy Jones’ Thoughts:- A few years ago I had run out of new things to ride in my home mountains. I had booted everything with in a reasonable distance and had sledded to all the sick spots. My hit list was pretty much empty. Picking up my splitboard the whole game changed. My hit list is now overflowing with a lifetime of new places to explore. The Solution is the solution. It rides like a normal board, but I’m no longer wallowing on approach to distant lines nor physically destroyed from bootpacking all day. I find myself passing up the chaos of the resorts and heading to the solitude of the backcountry on my splitboard more and more each winter.
