The 2025 Black Crows Camox Birdie with Marker Squire 11 Bindings is an impressively versatile all-mountain setupthat offers an exceptional blend of performance and approachability. With its lightweight construction and camber profile, it delivers a broad range of performance characteristics while remaining forgiving and easy to maneuver. We paired the Camox Birdie with the Marker Squire 11 because of the Squire’s high performance and dependability for lighter weight all mountain and freeride skiers. With a light weight construction and a safe, reliable release, the Squire 11 is a go to choice to keep performance high and weight low.

Why we like it:

This approachable ski caters to a wide variety of skiers, providing something for everyone. Its versatile nature and accessible feel make it appealing to a broad spectrum of abilities and styles.

Who it's for:

The Camox Birdie is friendly and intuitive enough for intermediate skiers to build confidence, while advanced and expert skiers with a more relaxed approach will appreciate its high-performing, accessible nature. East Coast skiers will find it a great all-around ski for various conditions.

Highlights:

The Camox Birdie’s simplicity in construction is its strength: a poplar wood core combined with fiberglass creates a ski that is both powerful and stable, yet lightweight and forgiving. The long turn radius ensures stability at speed, while the tapered shape and softer flex make it easy to execute short, quick turns. Marker’s Triple Pivot Light 2 Toe and Hollow Linkage Heel systems work in tandem to provide powerful energy transmission to the ski, allowing for maximum edge grip and control of the ski. Lighter weight skiers can rest easy knowing the Squire 11 will be easier than ever to step into thanks to a re-designed heel piece. Perhaps the most underappreciated feature of the Squire 11 is the anti-ice rail, which sits on top of the toepiece and can be used to scrape the sole of your boots clean before stepping in.

Things to consider:

Heavier and more aggressive skiers might find the Camox Birdie’s performance limitations and may prefer a ski with metal for added robustness. Those seeking more frontside-oriented performance might need to look elsewhere, as the Camox Birdie leans towards the freeride side of the all-mountain category.

Fit & sizing considerations:

Skis true to size.
