Why I recommend these
Expert verdict
The Black Crows Corvus Freebird Skis are a vibrant choice for those who love the thrill of backcountry skiing. These skis are not just about their eye-catching fluorescent pink color; they offer a perfect balance between downhill aggression and uphill efficiency. The progressive rocker ensures smooth turns and floatation, while the ABS sidewalls provide stability in challenging terrains. The poplar core with carbon fiber laminate keeps them lightweight yet stiff, making them ideal for those who prioritize downhill performance. However, they might not be the lightest for uphill climbs, but the downhill precision more than compensates for it. If you're an adventurous skier who loves pushing boundaries, these skis are your perfect companion.

Is this ski recommended for you?
The Black Crows Corvus Freebird Touring Ski stands out for being a fluorescent pink ski just as much as it stands out for being a strong backcountry daily driver. It balances the backcountry scale between downhill performance and lightweightedness for uphill performance. This is a great aggressive downhill touring ski.
Key Features:
- Progressive Rocker – The front rocker allows for floatation and faster turn engagement, as well as better performance when breaking trail.
- ABS Sidewall – The Corvus Freebird has plastic ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) sidewalls that help maintain torsional stability in high-consequence terrain, and also work to maintain edge hold.
- Poplar Core with Carbon Fiber Laminate – A lightweight core with carbon fiber maintains stiffness throughout for consistent performance on the down and lightweight technology on the up.
