The Anima is a big mountain ski that combines power and maneuverability. It is a machine that easily enters curves, is very playful, performs well on hard snow for its size and is very stable at high speeds. The Anima is a ski that embraces the creativity of the skier (big lines, jumps, quick pivots, switch) and always keeps you on your toes. It's an animal and it's the ski of the 2021 Freeride World Champion Kristofer Turdell.

Leo Cocchiara tested this product
The Black Crows Anima is my favorite ski from the Black Crows lineup because it has a personality that mixes playful powder performance with a stiffer backbone that makes it super fun to ski in 4-5" of snow and beyond into the deepest powder you could ask for. It had a really chargy personality that had me thinking, woah, these... Read more

Mike was awesome
5 /5
Mike helped me out with knowledge about boards, goggles, helmets, etc. He answered every question and was really patient with me. Even went above and beyond and made a video comparing some boards that he recommended and that was really helpful. Made the shopping process really easy and I got some great deals on new gear. Thank you an appreciate you Mike!

5 /5
I started with spencer in mid to early january and told him that i wouldnt be able to make an actual purchase until mid february. He constantly gave me updates on item availability and continuously found me new items through the entire month that catered to my preferences as i gave them to him. He might just be the best customer service ive ever experienced to date with anything.

Best customer service ever!!
5 /5
I was in the process of picking out some ski equipment and I got matched with Gary. He was amazing answered every question I had and gave me his opinion on if I was looking into something that was not going to be right for me. He was beyond knowledgeable and it felt like I could come to him with anything. Even when I took a few days to do some more research and make sure I wanted to buy the things that were in my cart he would check in often to make sure I had now other questions. Absolutely top tier easily the best customer service I have ever had when making a big purchase like this.

Tremendous Help
5 /5
Ethan was responsive and very helpful in getting me started with some gear. Having some very limited knowledge in skiing, Ethan was able to provide some great suggestions on narrowing down equipment given my budget and preferred style. He helped me save a ton of time, rather than doing hours of research trying to guess on what would suit me best. With his knowledge I have confidence that I was able to make a smart purchase that I will not regret.
