2027 Black Crows Captis Skis

The 2027 Black Crows Captis continues its legacy as a narrow, agile all-mountain ski with a playful and poppy personality. With a sub-95 mm waist and a quick-turning profile, the Captis is designed to thrive on groomers, through the bumps, and in tight tree lines—making it an ideal resort daily driver for skiers who want versatility without excess width.

Why we like it:

The Captis is light on its feet and full of energy. It makes short work of tight terrain and feels smooth and intuitive on groomers, all while offering just enough width to dabble off-trail.

Who it's for:

Great for intermediate to advanced skiers who want a nimble and forgiving platform to explore the whole mountain, especially those who prioritize quickness over float.

Highlights:

Built with a poplar wood core and fiberglass layup, the Captis has a soft, accessible flex that feels lively underfoot. The double rocker profile enhances maneuverability and makes turn initiation effortless, while the moderate camber and sidecut deliver solid edge grip and control when carving. Its lightweight build and shorter radius encourage playful skiing and quick reactions in mixed terrain.

Things to consider:

With its relatively soft flex and narrower width, the Captis isn’t built for high-speed charging or deep snow. Advanced skiers looking for more power or float might want to size up—or consider a burlier alternative.

Fit & sizing considerations:

Skis true to size. For added stability or higher speed confidence, sizing up is worth considering. For park-style maneuverability or quick turning performance, go with your standard length.
