PTO Review
We skied them. Here's how they stack up.
These snowboards span 2 categories (All-Mountain, All-Mountain Freestyle). Scores reflect each snowboard's intended use — direct comparison across all dimensions may be misleading.
Women's Rally Cat — lighter riders who want a single board for a lift-served day — groomers, trees, side hits, soft snow — and who would rather bend a deck than drive it. 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.
Each row compares all boards on one dimension. 🏆 marks the highest score.
| Dimension | Women's Rally Cat | D.O.A. |
|---|---|---|
| Carving | 8🏆 | 7 |
| Park | 8🏆 | 8🏆 |
| Playfulness | 9🏆 | 9🏆 |
| Forgiveness | 8🏆 | 7 |
| Stability | 4 | 6🏆 |
| Powder | 6🏆 | 4 |
Lighter riders who want a single board for a lift-served day — groomers, trees, side hits, soft snow — and who would rather bend a deck than drive it. It fits an improving intermediate learning to carve on a short radius, a rider who has spent a season fighting something heavier, and an all-mountain rider who also wants switch landings inside the same run.
Riders who charge: nothing in the layup damps vibration, so the Rally Cat gets busy in chop where the Airheart 2.0 (4/5, Koroyd, Triax) tracks. Powder-first riders: Powder 7/10 with no taper, while the Dream Weaver 2.0 and the Stratos both score 10. Switch-symmetric park riders, since the Tweaker 2.0 is the true twin in this line. Riders in large boots, because Jones publishes no wide size in this model — the widest waist in the whole run is 24.6cm. And first-week beginners, who will find an unbroken camber arch less tolerant of a caught edge than a rockered nose.
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.
The Women's Rally Cat is best for lighter riders who want a single board for a lift-served day — groomers, trees, side hits, soft snow — and who would. The D.O.A. is best for riders who want one board that does 90% of everything well. park riders who also rip groomers. side hit hunters. The right choice depends on your primary terrain, ability level, and riding style.
The CAPiTA D.O.A. scores highest in Stability at 6/10, making it the strongest all-mountain option. It handles groomers, chop, and variable conditions without losing composure, so it's the best single-snowboard choice for riders who want one board for the whole mountain.
The Jones Women's Rally Cat leads in Carving with a PTO score of 8/10. Its edge grip on hard snow and groomed runs is the strongest in this comparison.
The Jones Women's Rally Cat is the most forgiving option with a Forgiveness score of 8/10. It doesn't punish imperfect technique, making it the easiest snowboard to progress on among these.
