PTO Review
We skied them. Here's how they stack up.
These snowboards span 2 categories (Freeride, All-Mountain Freestyle). Scores reflect each snowboard's intended use — direct comparison across all dimensions may be misleading.
Women's Dream Weaver 2.0 — riders who plan a season around storms and want float handed to them rather than worked for. D.O.A. — riders who want one board that does 90% of everything well. Check the radar chart below to see where each one wins.

Riders who plan a season around storms and want float handed to them rather than worked for. Trees, soft snow, slashed groomer margins and short turns at moderate speed. Lighter riders who have found a 4/5 freeride deck more labour than payoff, and intermediates stepping up from a rental or entry board to a genuine directional freeride shape.
Anyone who measures the day in speed on firm snow — a 2/5 flex over an unreinforced biax layup has a ceiling technique will not raise. Park and switch riders, who want a twin (in this line, the Tweaker 2.0). Riders after long, drawn-out hardpack carves, which a 6.7-7.1m edge shuts down early. Large boots, since Jones makes no wide length of this model. Aggressive experts who will reach the bottom of this flex on the first committed turn — the Howler or the Stratos is the honest answer there.
Riders who want one board that does 90% of everything well. Park riders who also rip groomers. Side hit hunters. All-mountain freestyle riders who value pop and versatility.
Beginners — the camber profile demands some technique. Deep powder devotees. Riders who want a dedicated freeride or carving board.
