The Jones Kids Happy Mountain Package is a first snowboard, and it comes as a complete kit. Jones describes it as the strap-in-and-go first snowboarding experience: learn-to-ride, stable, durable, and built for learning to balance and glide rather than for making progress up the mountain. The bindings arrive already mounted on the board.
Two of those — the leash and the traction pad — are the difference between this box and the Kids Prodigy Package, which ships with the board and bindings alone.
Jones builds the Happy Mountain around a shaped base, and unlike most of what it prints, it actually explains what the shaping does. Its own three lines:
Read together, that is a board designed so a child who has never stood on one can point it downhill and have it track straight, and can start a turn without the edge grabbing. Jones calls the milling a Junior 3D Contour Base.
A True Twin shape — symmetrical, so it rides the same in either direction, which matters when a kid has not decided which foot goes forward. The profile is FlatRock, shown flat on Jones’s own diagram. The flex is 1 out of 5, which Jones calls “soft and playful” and which is the softest board it builds.
Terrain scores: All-Mountain 10/10, Powder 5/10, Freestyle 5/10.
Jones does not name a core for this board anywhere in its 26/27 catalog, so neither do we.
We stocked the 90. Jones lists it at 1.9 lbs (0.85 kg). Kids’ board length goes by height and weight, not boot size — message us both numbers and we will tell you honestly whether the 90 is the right call or whether your kid is already past it.
A child’s first-ever board. A 1/5 flex on a flat profile with a no-catch base is about as forgiving as a snowboard gets, and the leash and traction pad are the two things a beginner actually needs on day one.
It is not the board for a kid who is already linking turns and wants to start riding the whole hill — that is the Prodigy Package, which has camber underfoot, a stiffer 2/5 flex and a directional shape. A rider who has outgrown this one will feel it quickly.
