Agree with everyone else. No question the Stumpy’s a great all around bike. That Yeti will be more limited. Prolly still get down OK but I don’t think anyone short of XC racers would like a steeper head tube angle, including your GF, won’t be confidence inspiring on the descent.
There's nothing better than sliding down snow, flying through the air
