The 2026 Black Crows Camox Birdie with Marker Squire 11 Bindings is an updated all-mountain twin designed for women who want a fun, reliable ski that performs everywhere on the mountain. With a refreshed shape, double rocker profile, and balanced flex, the Camox Birdie handles groomers, glades, powder, and everything in between. It strikes that ideal middle ground—agile and intuitive, yet composed when it counts. 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:

The Camox Birdie has long been a favorite for its balance of ease and control, and the latest updates only enhance that. It's quick to initiate turns, easy to pivot in tighter terrain, and holds steady when speeds pick up. It's a perfect one-ski solution for women who want to explore all corners of the resort with confidence.

Who it's for:

Ideal for intermediate to expert female skiers looking for a true all-mountain companion. Whether you're cruising groomers, navigating bumps, or exploring off-trail stashes, the Camox Birdie delivers playful performance without compromising on stability.

Highlights:

The ski’s semi-cap construction with ABS sidewalls ensures solid edge grip and lasting durability. A poplar wood core combined with fiberglass laminates offers an energetic yet predictable flex, while medium camber underfoot keeps things stable and reactive. Double rocker enhances agility, helping you smear turns and navigate varied terrain with ease. The updated shape improves turn initiation and makes for smoother exits, especially in tighter or more technical conditions. 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:

While the Camox Birdie is versatile, it’s not built for those seeking a stiff, race-like experience. If you’re all about maximum power or demand on-piste precision, there are narrower, more aggressive skis better suited to that task. But for a do-it-all option with a lighthearted personality, this one hits the mark.

Fit & sizing considerations:

Skis true to size. Shorter lengths increase agility for tree skiing or tighter zones, while sizing up enhances confidence and stability at speed or in wide-open terrain.
