By now, you've probably seen these hot pink birds in the liftline or out on the skintrack. The Black Crows Corvus Freebird Skis have garnered a legion of admirers for their attention grabbing style and their excellent on-snow performance. These lightweight skis are made to fly up the skintrack, but stay true to the big mountain focus of the regular Corvus to soar on the way down. They're super stable and versatile, and they shine in the variety of conditions often encountered on a backcountry mission. This year, Black Crow has added a Titanal plate in the binding area to better accommodate the emergence of hybrid bindings like the Salomon Shift and the Marker Duke PT. Additionally, they've stretched out the sidecut and toned down the rocker profile, making the ski a bit more aggressive and chargey, all while keeping the weight down.
