A historical model of the Black Crows, the Black Crows Corvus Skis remains the guardian of the temple with its alpine soul associated with reverse camber. Intended for big mountain skiers who ski fast through off-piste conditions, this is the ski that you will see a lot on the Freeride World Tour on may of Black Crows sponsored freeride athletes. There’s no camber in the Corvus. It’s flat underfoot with low rise, but long tip and tail rocker. It also uses two 120- millimeter sheets of metal centered around the midsole mark. This construction gives it tremendous stability at speed and it stays composed through choppy snow conditions. The 107-millimeter waist width provides plenty of float for deeper days and that tip and tail rocker actually makes it relatively easy to turn and pivot despite it being stiff and powerful. The Corvus loves making big turns at speed in off-piste terrain. On the contrary, it’s not going to feel particularly responsive on firm snow, especially at slower speeds, due to the reverse camber profile, which is a big reason why it’s meant for expert skiers. There aren’t many skis like this on the market with such refined performance for big mountain skiing. Freeriders and big mountain chargers rejoice, the Black Crows is an impressive ski.
