The take
“A Powder 10 geometry cut on a park deck's turning radius: the Dream Weaver 2.0 planes and pivots for almost nothing, and pays for it above a certain speed.”
The Jones Women's Dream Weaver 2.0 is the soft, rockered end of Jones's women's freeride range — 2/5 flex, Directional Camber/Rocker, Low Tapered, and a Powder score of 10/10 on Jones's own terrain bars (All-Mountain 8, Freestyle 5). Jones markets it as 'the playful charger'. The first word is the accurate one.
Construction on the Dream Weaver 2.0 is four items long: a Master Core under biax glass, a Sintered 8000 base, a Premium Topsheet. No Koroyd, no basalt, no carbon/flax stringer — and $549.95 is the honest consequence. What Jones spent instead is geometry. The nose is rockered clear of the surface, the tail is cut narrower than the nose, a Medium 3D Contour Base and 3D Flip Tips take more base out of contact at each end, and Medium Traction Tech notches serrated grip zones into the steel for firm snow. The rating to read closely is the sidecut: 6.7m, 6.9m and 7.1m across the 142, 145 and 148.
In powder the Dream Weaver 2.0 finds its own nose-high attitude, so your back leg is not doing the work of holding the tip above the snow — that is the difference between a long powder run you enjoy and one you endure. On a groomer the short radius takes over: the board redirects, pivots and slashes on almost no input, and the cambered midsection keeps it from washing out on a hard morning.
The ceiling on the Dream Weaver 2.0 shows up when you ask for speed. Held in a long, fast arc on firm snow, the 2/5 flex folds before the turn is finished, the short radius drags the board off your line, and an unreinforced laminate sends chatter up into your boots. Freestyle 5/10 is a fair mark too — side hits and soft-snow spins are available; park laps and sustained switch are not.
Within Jones's 26/27 women's line, the Dream Weaver 2.0's closest rival is the Rally Cat: identical four-item build, identical 2/5 rating, but a full-camber directional twin scored Powder 7 / Freestyle 9 at $499.95 — the firm-snow, side-hit answer to this board's storm-day one. The Stratos is a step firmer at 3/5 with a Bcomp stringer and the High grades of contour and traction ($679.95); the Howler goes to 4/5 on full camber ($699.95). The Dream Weaver 2.0 sells as a flat deck; we mount and set your stance in the shop.
Bindings we'd pair with it
Mount point: Insert pattern is not published in the 26/27 catalog for this model — we set stance width and angles in the shop and check them against your boots.. Our pick: Jones Nebula FASE (Jones factory pairing — PTO does not stock it).
- Jones Nebula FASEJones's own listed pairing for the Dream Weaver 2.0
The 26/27 catalog lists the Nebula FASE under 'Works best with' for this board. PTO does not carry it, so we are naming the factory match rather than selling it — bring the binding you ride and we will mount and adjust the setup.
- Jones EquinoxThe catalog's second listed pairing
Jones names the Equinox alongside the Nebula FASE for this deck. PTO does not stock it either. A softer-to-medium flex binding suits a 2/5 board; whatever you land on, we fit it and check the stance against your boots before it leaves the shop.
Common Questions
- Is the Jones Women's Dream Weaver 2.0 a beginner board?
- Jones publishes no ability rating for it, so this is our read. As a first real board after the rental fleet it works well: very little about it punishes you, and the lifted tip is hard to trip over. As a first-ever board it is a compromise, because the outline is asymmetric front-to-back and beginners spend a lot of early time learning to ride both directions. A twin makes that stage easier.
- How does it compare with the Jones Women's Rally Cat?
- Same materials and the same flex rating, so read the shape instead of the parts list. The Rally Cat is a full-camber directional twin, which Jones scores Powder 7 and Freestyle 9. The Dream Weaver 2.0 is a rockered, tapered directional, scored Powder 10 and Freestyle 5. Storm rider, or hardpack-and-side-hits rider — that question answers this one.
- Can I ride it in the park or switch?
- Rarely, and not comfortably. Jones's 5/10 freestyle mark is honest: a hit off the side of a run or a spin into soft snow is within reach. Sustained switch is not, because the taper means the deck was drawn to run one way. If your day is built around switch and jump lines, look at a twin — in this line, the Tweaker 2.0.
- Does it come with bindings, and is there a wide size?
- No, and no. The board sells as a flat deck, and Jones lists the Nebula FASE and the Equinox as its factory pairings — two bindings PTO does not carry, though we will mount and adjust whatever you do ride. This model also has no W lengths at all in 26/27, so if your boots are large, come in and get them measured against the deck first.
