Black Crows Skis 2021: The First Look<\/h2>\n

Can’t stop the color pop.<\/h3>\n

The 2021 Black Crows collection blends some of the greatest traits of its predecessors over the last few years. The line-centric artwork from 2020 returns, doused in color splashes reminiscent of Black Crows models from a few years ago. It’s a nice look for a brand synonymous with the effervescent French ski culture of Chamonix.<\/p>\n

As for the skis themselves, the big news is a brand-new 100mm-waisted do-everything ski: the Justis<\/a>. It’s a tasty-looking ski that takes aim at the uber-popular category of all-mountain skis with waist widths around the century mark.<\/p>\n

Here’s the full rundown of Black Crows Skis 2021:<\/p>\n

What’s New<\/h3>\n

The all-new Justis\u00a0<\/strong><\/a>(100mm) replaces the Daemon<\/strong> <\/a>and the Navis<\/strong><\/a>, taking inspiration from both. H-shaped 3D titanal plus tip rocker and early rise tails with camber underfoot, similar to the Orb<\/strong><\/a>. Weighs in at 4300g\/pair in size 183cm. Sizes: 171, 177, 183, 189.<\/p>\n

Redesigned Anima<\/strong><\/a>: lengthened tail (less rocker), larger tips, longer side lines, refined flex. Goal: improved performance in hard\/mixed snow, better balanced ski, smoother flex.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Corvus Freebird <\/strong><\/a>features a less pronounced rocker, more tail taper, and an elongated sidecut plus a titanal mounting plate underfoot. Ideally the skis will be more precision, more aggressive, and more stable.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Orb Freebird<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>receives a titanal plate underfoot to retain hybrid touring bindings (like the Shift). The rocker is also refined to optimize edge hold.<\/p>\n

New Anima Birdie<\/a>.\u00a0<\/strong>Same construction as the men’s Anima, offered in 176cm and 182cm sizes.<\/p>\n

New junior versions of the\u00a0Atris, Camox,\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0Camox Birdie<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Fresh topsheets across the board, except for the Freebird skis.<\/p>\n

Other Highlights<\/h3>\n

Powder7 staff and customer favorites in the Freeride Range, the\u00a0Atris\u00a0<\/strong><\/a>and Atris Birdie<\/strong><\/a>, return with new artwork but the same construction.<\/p>\n

The Resort line features the\u00a0Orb\u00a0<\/strong><\/a>(88mm+H-shaped double titanal),\u00a0Vertis\u00a0<\/strong><\/a>(85mm),\u00a0Divus\u00a0<\/strong><\/a>(82mm), and\u00a0Arto\u00a0<\/strong><\/a>(68mm).<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Ferox Freebird<\/strong><\/a>, the widest touring ski in the line, returns unchanged, along with the incredibly popular\u00a0Navis Freebird<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0Camox Freebird<\/strong>.<\/a><\/p>\n
