Ultralight Alpine Splitboard

Jones Ultralight Butterfly Splitboard

The Jones Ultralight Butterfly Splitboard is a compact, full-camber split for technical alpine objectives where weight and edge hold matter more than float. Shrunken tips with the contact points pushed out give a 154 cm board 127 cm of effective edge, and full camber with Traction Tech 3.0 edges grips on steep, firm snow. A carbon and Koroyd build keeps weight down for long approaches, couloirs and ski-mountaineering days in sizes 150, 154 and 158.

Is This the Right Splitboard for You?

Best For
Strong riders chasing steep, technical alpine lines who want maximum edge hold in a light, short split, in sizes 150 to 158.
Consider Another Splitboard If
You tour mostly for powder and trees. The Jones Hovercraft 2.0 Splitboard and Jones Mind Expander Splitboard float far better in deep snow.

Why We Like It

  • 127 cm of effective edge on a 154, the edge of a much longer board, puts more steel in the snow on steep, firm faces while keeping the board short to carry.
  • Full camber and inner and outer Traction Tech 3.0 edges give the strongest grip in the Jones split line on ice and chalk.
  • Two sections of Koroyd in a paulownia and poplar core, with tip-to-tail carbon, damp chatter at a fraction of the weight of wood.
  • 8 mm of taper and a 3D Contour Base keep the board from feeling locked in when the snow softens.

Best Uses

  • Couloirs and steep alpine faces
  • Ski-mountaineering objectives
  • Spring corn and firm snow
  • Long approaches where weight matters
  • Riders sizing down for a shorter carry

Splitboard Selection Advice

Size the Ultralight Butterfly 5 to 10 cm shorter than a usual board. Its effective edge runs 123.6 cm on the 150, 127 cm on the 154 and 130.4 cm on the 158, matching the edge of a conventional board 10 cm longer, so a shorter Butterfly still has the edge for steep snow.

Waists run 25.3 to 25.9 cm, so riders with large boots should check overhang before choosing. This is a firm-snow board; for powder-focused days, a second board with more float will ride better. Skins are sold separately and attach through the tip clips and the tail notches.

Common Questions

Who should buy the Jones Ultralight Butterfly Splitboard?
The Jones Ultralight Butterfly Splitboard suits strong riders who chase steep, technical alpine lines. Full camber, Traction Tech 3.0 and 127 cm of effective edge on a 154 hold on firm snow, and the carbon and Koroyd build keeps it light.
What bindings and skins work with the Jones Ultralight Butterfly Splitboard?
The Jones Ultralight Butterfly Splitboard uses the standard splitboard insert pattern, so it takes splitboard-specific bindings that switch between tour and ride mode on puck or interface hardware. Standard solid-board snowboard bindings are not compatible. Skins are sold separately and attach at the tip clips and the tail notches.
Should I size down on the Ultralight Butterfly?
Yes. The Butterfly carries the effective edge of a board 10 cm longer, 127 cm on the 154, so most riders go 5 to 10 cm shorter than their usual board.
What is Koroyd?
Koroyd is a welded tube honeycomb material. Jones places two sections of it in the wood core of the Butterfly to absorb vibration at a fraction of the weight of the wood it replaces.
How does the Butterfly ride in powder?
The small tips and 8 mm of taper give it less float than a powder shape, so riders need to stay centered in deep snow. It is built for firm, steep snow and ski-mountaineering terrain.
Why full camber on a splitboard?
Full camber presses the whole edge into the snow, which gives the most grip on ice and the most pop. Paired with Traction Tech 3.0 on the inner edges, it also helps each ski hold on icy skin-track traverses.

Our Verdict

The Jones Ultralight Butterfly Splitboard is built for alpine objectives where a slip is not an option. Full camber, Traction Tech 3.0 and 127 cm of effective edge on a 154 grip on steep, firm snow, and a carbon and Koroyd build keeps weight down for long approaches. It gives up float in deep snow in exchange. For couloirs and ski-mountaineering lines, the Jones Ultralight Butterfly Splitboard is a precise tool.
