This Ski Is A Staff Favorite:

By: Tyler J

This ski just looks so damn cool. Not a good enough of a reason to buy this ski for you? Let me dive in then. This ski lives up to every bit of the hype. At 122 underfoot you might be thinking, "I'm not skiing spines in Alaska, heck I only see a couple of powder days a year, what could I use this for?". Well let me assure you, this ski is a daily driver in the guise of a powder boat. I took it out for our first little "powder" day here in Colorado this season, and skiing a fresh 6 inches of powder, this ski rips like a dream. More importantly, however, when that powder is no longer fresh and has been snow plowed into a field of bumps, this thing passes muster.

As oxymornic as it may sound, the Nocta is a super surfy charger. It felt at home making nice flowing turns between bumps and side hits, but when I wanted to open it up and straightline some bumps, or pop off side hits, or blast through ice patches it felt incredible and reliable. For the width and length (I was on the 185), it feels remarkably light. For the width and performance at speed, it feels easy to ski and doesn't drain you when you're out trying to ski hot laps all day.

Black Crows nailed it on this one, and I can't wait to get my hands on my own pair. If you see a hooligan skiing these behemoths on a groomer in the front range, come say hi. It's probably me.

This ski is a blast! It floats through soft snow with ease and has you chasing powder stashes and fresh tracks all day! The fact that it has full rocker somewhat counteracts the burliness to make it surprisingly maneuverable. I break it out if there's even a remote chance of snow in the forecast or if they have leftover pockets of soft snow at the resort. All that said, it a beefy, fun ski that makes you chase powder and side hits. I've had my very best days of skiing on the Noctas! I'll keep these things til they can't ski anymore!

How's this for a recommendation: on our company powder-chasing trips, we always bring multiple pairs of the Black Crows Nocta. Everybody wants to ski it, so one isn't enough. It's up there with the K2 Pon2oon as our favorite deep day board, and the Nocta is more or less unsinkable. On a powder day at Wolf Creek, it popped off cornices and small cliffs, surfed our favorite untracked hike-to lines, and pivoted with playful ease through the Wolf's famous numbered chutes. Even in chopped up snow the day after a storm, the Nocta powered through without getting deflected, and its massive surface area kept me floating like a cork. On the best days of the season, the Nocta is the only friend you need.

Our Take On The 2024 Black Crows Nocta:

The Black Crows Nocta has been a shop favorite for powder hunting ever since it was born out of French fever dream in the mountains of Chamonix. It's always been a surfy, unsinkable beast in deep snow, perfectly blending playfulness and stability. New for 2024, Black Crows has tweaked the legend, adding a bit of camber underfoot for even more balance and bite. The Nu Nocta is also a touch softer, overall, to ensure that no maneuverability was sacrificed in doing away with the old fully rockered, reverse camber shape. And yes, that is a hint of a swallow tail at both ends. Still unsinkable, still energetic, and still intuitive, the 2024 Nocta maintains its grip on the title of World's Best Powder Ski.
