Yes Allin Snowboard Review: A Mellow Powder Board That Earns Its Keep

Introduction

The Yes Allin is built around Yes’s CamRock 141 profile: a long camber zone between the feet with a short rocker section on the nose and tail. That combination aims to deliver the drive, power, and pop of camber while keeping turn entry and exit easy and adding a bit of float up front and out back.

It comes in a wide size range: 148, 150, 154, 155 wide, 158, 160 wide, 162, and 164 wide, so there is a length for most riders.

First Impressions on the Snow

I rode the Allin at Copper Mountain on a spring powder day, with about 8 to 10 inches falling the night before and flat light holding all day. The snow stayed consistent: light and fluffy Colorado snow near the top, getting heavier and wetter as you worked down the mountain, with no change in character between morning and afternoon.

The board was paired with Ride Fuse boots and Jones Mercury bindings.

Flex and Stability

Even though the nose and tail rocker is limited, this is still a softer board. It sits below a middle-of-the-road stiffness, which means you can really flex into it in fresh snow. The nose flexes up to keep you afloat when things get deep.

The flip side is stability. In chopped or chewed-up conditions it is not the most planted board, and you will want to stay low, keep your knees bent, and be powerful through the rough patches. In fresh snow, however, it is extremely stable where it floats: even creeping through the trees, the nose popped right up and never threatened to sink.

Groomer Performance

On groomers, the Allin does not return energy especially well. With less rocker in the tail I expected a bit more spring, but the softer overall flex means there is not much energy to send back, and a lot of the drive ends up coming from the back foot.

Interestingly, fresh powder ollies tell a different story. The nose creates a lip in fresh snow that gives the tail something to spring off of, and it actually ollied better in powder than on hardpack. Landings felt great too: even if you land a little back footed, the nose wants to pop up, so touching down near trees or tight patches was never a problem.

Butters and Presses

Because the board is on the softer side, it butters really well. Pressing the nose or tail requires no fight at all: shift your hips slightly outside the inserts on either side and it holds the press smoothly. In powder it is especially fun, with 180s and nose leans feeling simple and trustworthy.

The trade-off is spring on the way out. There is not much pop to launch you back to flat, so you put in a little extra work to finish the butter. It is a minor cost for how easy and pleasant the presses feel.

Carving

In fresh powder, the Allin handles carves of any size extremely well, and it is at its most stable in those conditions. On groomers or in chewed-up snow it carves less cleanly: engage a bigger edge and you may feel the nose or tail flapping, especially on medium and larger carves.

On short carves it steps edge to edge fast enough, with the mid bite of that long camber zone helping engage the edge sooner. It will Euro carve too, but keep the energy mellow: lean on it too hard and it will fold.

Who This Board Is For

This is a board for the mellow rider. You do not need to be the most skilled rider on the mountain. It suits the casual ripper heading out with the kids, someone who wants a board that floats and planes for them, cruises mellow runs, and never feels like too much board to control.

Comparable Boards and Recommended Bindings

If the Allin sounds appealing but you want alternatives in the same mellow, powder-friendly lane, comparable boards include the Lib Tech Double Dip, the Jones Mind Expander, and the Salomon Six Stick.

For bindings, the Yes Select, Salomon Hologram, and Union Ultra pair well with it.

Conclusion

I genuinely enjoyed the Allin. It is a mellow powder board that earned a full day on the mountain and never asked to be swapped out, even in deep snow. If your riding style leans relaxed, floaty, and fun, it is worth a close look.
