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.

Description

Powder 10/10 is Jones's own score for the Women's Dream Weaver 2.0: a soft, tapered directional freeride board, rockered at nose and tail.

The outline is Low Tapered — more width in the nose than the tail — so in deep snow the wide end climbs while the narrow end settles, and the board holds its own nose-up line. Rocker at both ends lifts the tips clear of the surface; the camber left underfoot is what still bites once the snow firms up. 3D Flip Tips, plus a Medium 3D Contour Base, pull more base area out of the snow at the ends. Rocker costs edge grip, though, and Traction Tech is Jones's answer to that: graded Medium here, it serrates the running edge so the steel meets the snow at more points than a plain one.

Under the Premium Topsheet: a Master Core, a two-axis Biax glass layup and a Sintered 8000 base. That is the entire list — no stringer, no basalt, no Koroyd. Flex is 2/5, the friendly end of Jones's five-point scale, and the 148 weighs 5 lbs (2.3 kg) bare. The sidecut is the number to read twice: 6.7m at the 142, 6.9m at the 145, 7.1m at the 148; waists go 23.7 to 24.1cm.

Storm chasers and tree riders are the target: soft snow, short turns, moderate pace, float you do not work for. PTO reads it as intermediate and up; Jones prints no ability rating. Ask it for speed on hard snow and the soft flex runs out of composure, and it will not hold a long, patient carve. For park and switch, buy a twin. Big boots need measuring first — no W length exists anywhere in this model's run.

PTO stocked the White in 142, 145 and 148, from a catalog run spanning 139 to 156. It arrives bare. Jones's listed pairing is the Equinox or the Nebula FASE, neither of which we carry; bring the bindings you own, or ask us what suits a 2/5 deck, and we will fit them and set your stance before it leaves.

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.

What it does well

Powder 10/10 — rockered nose, low taper and 3D Flip Tips
6.7m sidecut at the 142 pivots and slashes on almost nothing
2/5 flex and a lifted tip forgive a late edge change
Light: 2.3kg at the 148 as a bare deck
Serrated Medium Traction Tech adds edge bite on firm snow

What it doesn't

No damping reinforcement in the layup — chatter arrives at speed
Short 6.7-7.1m radius will not hold a long carve
Tapered directional shape rides switch poorly (Freestyle 5/10)
No wide length is made — poor match for large boots

Best for

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.

Not for

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.

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.
