Jones Ultra Mountain Twin vs Yes Optimistic

How they compare

Both target all mountain terrain, while the Jones Ultra Mountain Twin leans more freestyle/freeride. The Jones Ultra Mountain Twin uses a directional twin shape while the Yes Optimistic is directional. The Jones Ultra Mountain Twin has a hybrid (rocker/camber) profile (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile), while the Yes Optimistic uses camber (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise). Both are rated 7/10 flex (stiff).
