PTO Review
We know them. Here's how they stack up.
These snowboards span 2 categories (Freeride, Park). Scores reflect each snowboard's intended use — direct comparison across all dimensions may be misleading.
Men's Frontier 2.0 — riders whose best days are soft and whose turns are short — powder, trees, side hits, slashing — and who want the board to make that easy rather than fast.. Disaster — park rats focused on jibs, rails, boxes, and presses.. Check the radar chart below to see where each one wins.
Each row compares all boards on one dimension. 🏆 marks the highest score.
| Dimension | Men's Frontier 2.0 | Disaster |
|---|---|---|
| Carving | 6🏆 | 3 |
| Park | 4 | 10🏆 |
| Playfulness | 8🏆 | 7 |
| Forgiveness | 8🏆 | 8🏆 |
| Stability | 4🏆 | 3 |
| Powder | 9🏆 | 2 |
Riders whose best days are soft and whose turns are short — powder, trees, side hits, slashing — and who want the board to make that easy rather than fast. Lighter or less aggressive riders who find a 4/5 deck like the Flagship more work than reward, and intermediates moving off an entry board onto a genuine directional freeride shape.
Riders who want to charge — 2/5 flex, plain biax glass and a rockered nose set a speed ceiling. Park and switch riders: the outline is tapered and directional and Jones scores freestyle 5/10, so a twin such as the Mountain Twin is the better tool. Riders on firm mountains who want long, patient carves — a 7.2–8.0m sidecut closes the turn early. Heavy, aggressive experts who will flatten a soft flex and want the board to push back; that rider wants the Stratos or the Flagship.
Park rats focused on jibs, rails, boxes, and presses. Riders progressing into park for the first time. Street-style riders. Anyone who wants a dedicated soft-flex park tool.
All-mountain riders who need one board for everything. Speed seekers. Powder riders. Advanced riders who need pop for big kickers — the Disaster is built for small-to-medium features, not boosting 40-footers.
Men's Frontier 2.0 is best for riders whose best days are soft and whose turns are short — powder, trees, side hits, slashing — and who want the board to make that easy rather than fast. Disaster is best for park rats focused on jibs, rails, boxes, and presses. The right choice depends on your terrain, ability, and riding style.
Jones Men's Frontier 2.0 has the highest Stability score in this comparison at 4/10. That score compares composure; it does not by itself mean the product is the most versatile choice.
Jones Men's Frontier 2.0 leads Carving in this comparison with a PTO score of 6/10.
Jones Men's Frontier 2.0 has the highest Forgiveness score here at 8/10. Forgiveness is one factor in progression, not a claim that every beginner should choose it.
