YES Standard Snowboard Review

Last Updated: December 27, 2024 by Nate

YES Standard 2024-2025 Snowboard Review

When I look at the YES Standard and the Standard Uninc, I think, there's not too much difference between these two boards on paper, apart from the camber profile. But when you get them out on snow, there's definitely more to it than just camber. 

The Standard is the epitome of do-anything-anywhere-anytime and that might be all you need to know (but.... still keep reading for more details :-)).

In this review, I will take a look at the Standard as an all-mountain snowboard.

As per tradition here at SnowboardingProfiles.com I will give the Standard a score out of 100 (based on several factors) and see how it compares with other all-mountain snowboards.

    Who is the Standard Most Suited To?

    The Standard is best suited to someone who wants the ultimate, IMO, do-it-all board. For those who have a very eclectic style but want to have a one-board quiver, this is the best that I've found to serve that purpose - so long as you're at least an intermediate rider. 

    Not quite beginner easy to ride, but still nice and easy ride, yet still isn't bad at speed or for carving, despite that.

    On groomer: Dust on crust mostly but some icy patches and some icy chunder.

    Off groomer: Crunchy/hard. Had some recent fresh snow, but most of it had gone hard already. A couple of spots found some fresh, but not as much as I was expecting.

    *based on a sample size of 300+ models that I’ve weighed in 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 & 2025 models. 

    Powder

    Felt good in what I could find, but never found enough to get a sustained feeling. But from past experience on this board and based on specs, it performs pretty well in powder. It's never going to be a powder destroyer, but it's also not going to destroy you in powder! 

    There is some pretty healthy rocker in the tip and tail and while the nose isn't longer than the tail, it does have more surface area - not because of a wider contact point, but through it's shaping. It's subtle but it does help a little. 

    There is also no setback, but if you take advantage of the slam back inserts, it should go pretty well in powder. 

    Carving

    It's not a world beater when it comes to carving, but still pretty decent. And can carve at relatively high speeds without feeling too washy. 

    Turning

    Ease of Turning/Slashing: For a board that manages to be as decent as it as for carving, it is surprisingly easy to turn/slash. It really takes very little effort, making it really versatile whether you want to ride it slower/more casually or get a little faster/more aggressive on it. 

    Maneuverability at slow speeds: Again, for a board that handle a decent amount of speed, it's one of the more agile boards at slow speed. 

    Catchiness: If I really felt for it, I could detect a very subtle feel like it could catch the tail in some situations, but it's really minimal. 

    Speed

    It's decently stable at speed. It has its limits, but I felt pretty comfortable driving it at reasonably fast speeds, without it feeling too wobbly. 

    Uneven Terrain

    Crud/Chunder: Did a good job. Not immune to getting bucked around and not super damp but also not super chattery. And when it did get bucked around, making line adjustments was nice and easy. 

    Trees/Bumps: Felt so confident with this in tight spaces and felt decent in the little powder patches I had in the trees too. 

    Jumps

    Sick for jumps! Not super poppy in terms of total pop, but otherwise is just that perfect in between of being easy to pop and ollie and the perfect balance between stability and maneuverability. 

    Pop: As eluded to above, it has nice and easy to access pop. There's more there when you wind it up, but not epic total pop. 

    Approach: The perfect balance of being stable enough to pick your line and go for it and stable enough for larger jumps, but also nice and easy to maneuver or speed check without throwing you out of whack and aborting. 

    Landing: Again, strikes that nice middle-ground of being forgiving of off landings, the ability to maneuver and speed check when needed after landing, but also being solid enough to stomp the landing on most size jumps. 

    Side-hits: So much fun! That easy pop and maneuverability help - and you can send it on bigger side-hits too. 

    Small jumps/Big jumps: Everything really, depending on your skill level and risk level. 

    Switch

    Transitions to/from switch are smooth and easy and feels basically the same riding in both directions. 

    Spins

    So good. Great balance of being easy to setup, not over spinning (ok maybe a touch) but easy to finish an incomplete spin on the snow. Easy access pop and decent enough total pop. 

    Jibbing

    Not my ideal jibbing board but still really good. I was confident to do the limited things I can do on boxes/rails on it. 

    Butters

    For how the board performs everywhere else, you'd think there'd be something that it doesn't do that well. Is that thing butters? Nope, it butters really nicely. It's pretty easy to flex the tip and tail and you can lock it in without threat of over-flexing (unless maybe you're riding a size too small for you).

    The Standard really is The Standard for do-it-all, in my opinion and experience.

    There's nothing that doesn't feel fun on this board and there's nothing that it struggles with. It's really good in icy conditions, hard and soft groomers, uneven terrain, and even decent in powder. And you can ride it any way you want.  And has that indescribable x-factor that I just can't put my finger on. 

    Every time I get on this board, I expect that it won't wow me quite the same as it did the previous time I rode it. But so far it's never failed to get me excited and it's always succeeded in making me reluctant to unstrap from it.
