The 2026 Black Crows Corvus reaffirms its place as a big-mountain freeride staple, blending power and precision with newfound versatility. With a 110 mm waist, long 25-meter radius, and a redesigned profile featuring classic camber and progressive rocker, it’s built to charge steep lines, float through powder, and pivot cleanly in tight terrain. This latest version marks a return to the ski's roots, offering a refined yet aggressive ride for those who seek high-speed stability and control.

Why we like it:

The updated shape and construction make the Corvus more accessible without sacrificing its hard-charging DNA. It’s a ski that rewards confident skiing but doesn’t punish you when the terrain gets technical or the snow turns variable.

Who it's for:

Advanced to expert skiers who thrive in big-mountain environments and demand a ski that can handle high speeds, deep snow, and complex terrain. Whether you're dropping into alpine bowls or navigating tight couloirs, the Corvus offers the stability and responsiveness needed for aggressive freeride skiing.

Highlights:

The Corvus features a poplar wood core reinforced with a single layer of titanal, providing a solid flex underfoot for stability and precision, while maintaining a progressive flex in the tip and tail for comfort and efficiency. The double rocker design enhances maneuverability, control, and pivoting capabilities, making it adept at handling a variety of snow conditions. The ski's long sidecut radius contributes to high-speed stability and reliable edge grip, essential for big-mountain descents.

Things to consider:

While the Corvus offers improved versatility, its 110 mm waist and construction are still geared towards aggressive skiing in challenging terrain. Skiers who spend most of their time on groomed runs or prefer a more forgiving ride might find it demanding.

Fit & sizing considerations:

Skis true to size. Skiers seeking maximum maneuverability may opt for shorter lengths, while those desiring increased stability at speed should choose longer sizes. The ski's design allows for sizing up without sacrificing control, particularly beneficial for open terrain and high-speed applications.
