\u201cOver the past year, I have worked with Jeremy and Jones team riders to help bring the world\u2019s best free ride boards and packs to market,\u201d says Nidecker. \u201cI\u2019m excited to put more of my efforts towards Jones Snowboards as Global Brand Manager and help take the company to the next level. Even though my role has changed within Nidecker, I will continue to consult on Nidecker\u2019s global strategy and will be deeply involved with Nidecker, YES., NOW, Slash and Laird StandUp.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jones Snowboards has also added Seth Lightcap as Global Marketing and Team Manager. Lightcap will be based alongside Jeremy Jones in Truckee, California.

“Working with Jeremy and Jones Snowboards has been awesome, and I\u2019m honored to take a full-time role in the company,” say Lightcap. “I’m thrilled to help push the boundaries of such an iconic brand and share my passion for backcountry snowboarding through Jones products.”<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are stoked to have both Xavier and Seth enter into marketing and global brand strategy roles within the company,\u201d says Jones Snowboards founder Jeremy Jones. \u201cThese are exciting times at Jones and we have every intention to continue our steady growth as a leader of performance-driven design and technology in the snowboard industry.\u201d<\/p>\n
