tldr; Stiff true twin for advanced park and all-mountain. Not forgiving - demands proper technique but rewards with pop and precision.

Best praise vs top criticism for Jones Mountain Twin
“This is pretty cut and paste for anyone who doesn't have an existing quiver- pick your favorite looking camber dominant directional twin and call it a day Rides symmetrical on side cut so you can do switch and park with 0 problems, a little extra nose material vs the tail for extra powder float, and camber gives you much more power at speed while early rise has pretty much solved camber edge catch. I'd start looking at the Rome Stale Crewzer or Warden, Capita Mercury or Outerspace Living, Burton Custom, Jones Mountain Twin, or Ride Shadowban. Start with that list, and any board comparable will also be a great daily driver you can build around for specific use cases like a hard charger, powder board, rail board, etc. But directional twin with camber dominant will do 95% of conditions with 90% effectiveness and you won't need to think about it anymore”
“lol, this is why I don't recommend buying 3bt unless you've ridden it and know you like it. Go get a Jones Mountain Twin. It's not catchy due to the 3d spoon nose shaping, but also not anything like 3bt. The JMT is a do it all, master of nothing, forgiving board. It will help you learn proper snowboarding form while being forgiving in the process. It's my favorite progression board for riders looking to get better up to Advanced levels. It has a high skill ceiling with a low skill barrier of entry. It will accomplish everything you're looking for well. I would stay away from a Jones Flagship (my favorite board for freeriding), and most stiff boards, until your skills are stronger. A JMT will float powder, carve ice, and can be ridden across the entire mountain. It's what you're looking for.”
