The Black Crows Anima is the Chamonix brand's big-mountain charging, pow-stash slaying, best-day-making powder ski. Returning unchanged for 2024, the Anima has quickly become a shop favorite. Over the years, the wild Frenchmen and women tweaked the ski to make it better than ever...and that's saying a lot. They lengthened the tails (think less rocker), extended the side lines, enlarged the tips, and refined the Animas flex. The goal? More reliable and consistent performance in hard and mixed snow plus a smoother feel everywhere. Like so many French things, this new Anima is refined. It's chic. And it soars whether you're heli skiing in British Columbia, rampaging in Chamonix, getting pitted in Japan, or dropping Corbets in Jackson. While athletic and motivated intermediates can absolutely handle the Anima, it is worth noting that these skis flex stiffer than many playful powder skis out there. We wouldn't call them expert skis exclusively, but they do like to be driven. So if you want a ski you can count on for the best days of your season, reach for the Anima.
