The YES Pick Your Line XTRM is basically the Pick Your Line Uninc but with a stiffer flex. It's a more tapered, directional, wider version of the regular Pick Your Line with more setback and more slashy floatiness, while still keeping that big mountain personality — and it carves groomers incredibly well.
Base shape (camber)
Directional camber
A more tapered, directional, wider version of the regular Pick Your Line with more setback, though the stance reads centred — more slashy floatiness while keeping that big mountain personality.
StiffnessHigher means stiffer
Basically the Pick Your Line Uninc but with a stiffer flex, with moderate buttering.
Where it shines
Who it suits
Intermediate to expert — it works with a wider variety of riders, including those who like a slightly set-back, medium-angle powder board.
Good
- ✓It carves groomers incredibly well
- ✓More slashy floatiness while still keeping that nice big mountain personality
- ✓Edge hold reaches icy snow
- ✓It does a lot of things right and is a board we recommend a lot
Not so good
- —Stiffer than the regular Pick Your Line, so buttering is only moderate
The Yes Pick Your Line Xtrm is a more tapered directional, wider version of the existing Pick Your Line, an all-mountain/powder-oriented deck with greatly improved groomer carving, high-speed stability and irregular-snow capability thanks to a stiffened medium-to-stiff flex. It's broadly recommended to committed intermediate-to-advanced riders who want a surfy setback feel while also enjoying steeps and big airs, and it shows its worth in carving, powder and backcountry terrain rather than tricks and jibbing. The 2026 model is set to keep the same spec.
Base shape (camber)
Hybrid camber
A hybrid camber profile with camber through the middle and a touch of early rise (rocker) blended before the nose and tail. It feels softer than traditional camber while still providing camber's characteristic pop and edge hold.
StiffnessHigher means stiffer
A medium to stiff flex. It's considerably stiffer overall than the previous model, with a very stiff tail, slightly less stiff area between the feet and the most flexible nose. Pop is ample and buttering remains possible to a degree, though it takes more force than before.
Where it shines
Who it suits
Skidded turns are comparatively easy so motivated intermediates can ride it, but its stiffer flex better suits committed intermediates aiming to step up to advanced or expert level. It isn't recommended for beginners.
Good
- ✓Groomer carving performance is excellent, and the multi-radius sidecut combined with indentation enables turns of varied radii
- ✓A tapered directional shape and setback deliver excellent float and slash performance in moderate-to-steep powder
- ✓The stiffened flex improves high-speed straight-line stability and capability on rough, irregular snow
- ✓It provides a consistent tapered directional feel from hard to soft snow, giving it high predictability
Not so good
- —The stiffened flex makes trick play such as buttering and jibbing considerably harder than the previous model
- —A difference in edge grip between the front and back foot means back-foot grip can be unstable the closer your stance angles are to duck
- —Float performance falls off on low-angle powder slopes
- —The rate of width increase across the size range is limited compared with other boards
