Black Crows Ova Freebird Skis
The Black Crows Ova Freebird Skis are built super light and highly maneuverable for the skin track. They have a fairly traditional shape with camber throughout the ski for precise edging and powerful skin pressure, with just a bit of rocker in the front to avoid hookiness when initiating turns. Paired with a slender 85 waist width, this ski is consistent, reliable, and freedom-inducing for long days in the backcountry.

Terrain
Alpine Touring Also known as backcountry skis, alpine touring (AT) skis are designed for going uphill as well as downhill. These skis are typically light for their width and many feature fittings that accept climbing skins. AT skis vary in width and weight, with the wider heavier versions usually used for winter/deep snow touring and the skinnier, lighter skis usually used for spring/summer/long distance touring.

Ability Level
Advanced-Expert Whether you charge the steepest lines, hit the biggest jumps in the park or carve with race-like precision, advanced to expert level skis, snowboards, boots and bindings are for the more aggressive rider. In skis and snowboards, you'll often find layers of metal, carbon or other stringers for rigidity and power, while advanced to expert level boots and bindings are usually on the stiffer side of the spectrum for rebound and precision steering.

Rocker Type:
Rocker/Camber
More
Rocker Type
Rocker/Camber Rocker/Camber skis pair a traditional cambered profile underfoot with an elongated, early rise tip borrowed from fully rockered skis. This profile places the front contact point further back from the tip, while the rear contact point remains close to the tail. The rockered tip allows for better flotation and less edge catch for increased float in deep snow, while the cambered rear stores and transmits energy similarly to a fully cambered ski.

Tail Type:
Flat

Tail Type
Flat This is your traditional tail, designed to have edge contact all the way through the tail, and only designed for skiing forward. This is also preferred for alpine touring, as you can stick the tails of your skis in the snow.

Tyrolia Ambition 12 Alpine Touring Ski Bindings 2024
The Tyrolia Ambition 12 Alpine Touring Ski Bindings are lightweight frame touring bindings that meld alpine-like ease of use and durability with uphill skinning capability. The Ambition 12's AT toe adjusts easily for either ISO 9523 Alpine Touring soles, Alpine ISO 5355 soles or GripWalk soles, and the binding accommodates almost any adult boot sole length with an easily adjusted telescoping tube system. Tyrolia's Freeflex system interacts with the toe and frame of the Ambition 12 to allow enough elasticity for the ski to flex naturally under load.
Product Details
Toe
Alpine Touring Toe – Compact design with a 65 mm wide mechanical AFD adjusts to fit all adult boot sole types. Double rollers provide superior safety release and re-centering action, and a wide contact area improves stability and response.
Tour Mode
Alpine Touring Heel and Climbing Aid – The secure lock and climbing aid is positioned close to the heel for better balance and climbing, and the low 38 mm stand height stays out of the way while skinning. Four different climbing heights are available: 0˚, 5˚, 10˚ and 15˚.
Boot Compatibility
Telescopic Tube Adjustment – The AAAmbition features a unique light-weight telescopic tube for easy adjustment to different boot sole lengths. A single binding model can cover the entire range of different sole lengths – from 260 to 350 mm. The telescopic tube also enables a more compact mounting to perfectly position the binding on your skis and eliminate mid-point deviation.
Fits Boot Sole Lengths (BSL) From 260 mm to 350 mm
Fits ISO 5355 Alpine, ISO 9523 Touring, and 9523 GripWalk Soles
Additional Features
Freeflex – Tyrolia's tried and tested Freeflex System, which interacts with the AT Toe, the telescopic tube and the AT Heel, offers natural dynamics, excellent downhill performance for a supreme ski touring experience.
Stand Height – 38 mm
Crampons Available Separately in 90 mm, 105 mm and 120 mm Widths
