I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

Description

Why We Love the Jones Snowboards Mind Expander Splitboard

If you're looking to explore new hidden powder stashes or ride natural features when your usual lines are crowded, the Jones Snowboards Mind Expander Splitboard is the perfect choice. This splitboard offers a truly surfy experience in deep powder, thanks to its Surf Rocker profile that provides incredible floatation on the deepest days while still offering stability for carving on groomers or spinning slushy side hits. The board's 3D-contoured nose displaces snow like a ship's hull, further enhancing the floatation and preventing hangups. And with the dual-density core specifically designed for splitboarding, you can expect a lightweight, smooth ride both uphill and downhill.

Key Features

  • Fun and versatile Surf-inspired shape handles deep pow and hardpack with control
