Jones Snowboards is a snowboard, snowboard binding, and snowboarding accessories manufacturer based near Lake Tahoe. The company was founded by renowned freeride snowboarder Jeremy Jones. The company has received numerous awards for its snowboards.[1][2] Jones snowboards are manufactured in Dubai.

Notable Jones models include their signature "Flagship" freeride board, all-mountain "Mountain Twin," and powder-focused "Hovercraft" boards. Since 2018/19 Jones Snowboards have also produced snowboard bindings, built on a chassis using Now Snowboarding's Skatetech.

This includes efforts to manufacture their boards in an environmentally friendly manner, and the donation of 1% of sales to sustainability-focused non-profits.[3] Jones Snowboards also promotes avalanche safety, and includes their "5 Red Flags"[4] in the artwork on some of their snowboards and packaging materials.
