2027 Jones Howler: Big Mountain Precision Meets Full-Camber Pop

The Jones Howler Snowboard

If your idea of a good day on the hill involves pointing it down technical lines, boosting off side hits, and laying down clean carves at speed, the 2027 Jones Howler Snowboard deserves a serious look.

Designed with input from freeride powerhouses Victor de Le Rue and Elena Hight, the Howler takes the stability of a dedicated freeride charger and builds in the kind of explosive pop you usually only find on a park deck.

The Feel: Full-Camber Precision

While a lot of modern freeride boards lean heavily on rocker profiles to keep things effortless, the Howler brings back that classic, connected feel. It pairs a stiff 8/10 flex with High Power Camber which the staff at MILO loves!

When you load up an edge into a turn, the board loads like a spring and snaps you into the next carve. Whether you’re carving fresh corduroy or navigating steep, firm chutes in the Wasatch where slipping an edge isn't an option, the Howler keeps you locked in.

The Tech Underneath

Jones didn't skimp on the build for the Howler Snowboard:

• Koroyd Power Core: A triple-density wood core (Bamboo, Poplar, and Paulownia) with honeycomb Koroyd integrated directly into the nose. It drops the swing weight, making the deck noticeably quicker when you need to pivot fast in tight trees.

• 3D Contour Base: With 4mm of spoon bevel in the nose and tail, you still get smooth turn initiation and natural float in fresh snow without sacrificing that locked-in camber bite.

• B Comp Carbon Flax Stringers: Natural flax fibers paired with high-tension carbon absorb high-frequency chatter, acting like built-in suspension when the snow gets tracked out into rough chop.

Jones Howler vs. Jones Flagship: Which One Belongs in Your Quiver?

This is a question we hear a lot around the shop. Both are high-end freeride weapons, but they approach the mountain differently:

• Grab the Flagship if: You want a smoother, slightly more relaxed ride with an emphasis on powder float, surfy carves, and easy turn initiation.

• Grab the Howler if: You want maximum edge hold, instantaneous pop out of turns, and a traditional camber platform built for stomping drops and riding fast.

Shop Crew Verdict

The Howler isn't a board for cruising on autopilot—it rewards riders who drop in with commitment and ride with purpose. If you're an intermediate to advanced rider looking for a deck that can handle high speeds and aggressive lines, this one delivers.
