Jones Kids Happy Mountain Package Snowboard 2026/2027

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.

What comes in the box

• The Kids Happy Mountain snowboard
• Bindings, pre-mounted — fitted at the factory
• A retractable leash
• A foam traction pad

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.

The base is the whole idea

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:

• 3D Base promotes balance and board control
• Concave center hull for stability and gliding straight
• Raised edges with angled side channels for smooth “no-catch” turn initiation

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.

The board

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.

Construction

• Biax Fiberglass
• Premium Topsheet
• Sintered 8000 Base

Jones does not name a core for this board anywhere in its 26/27 catalog, so neither do we.

Size

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.

Who it is for

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.
