The 2027 Black Crows Atris Birdie brings the Atris platform to a women's-specific size run, scaling the iconic big-mountain ski down to lengths that make the most of its character for shorter skiers. Same 105-mm waist, same construction, same big-mountain personality, just dialed in for a different rider profile.

Why we like it:

What's striking about the Atris Birdie is how genuine the platform feels at the smaller sizes. A lot of women's big-mountain skis get watered down or stripped of their personality in shorter lengths. The Atris Birdie keeps every bit of the original ski's stability and authority, which is why it earns serious credibility on the mountain.

Who it's for:

Advanced and expert women skiers who want a real big-mountain ski with no compromises. A great fit for skiers in soft-snow regions, freeride-leaning all-mountain riders, and women who want a ski that can charge powder, handle variable conditions, and still feel manageable in trees and tighter terrain.

Highlights:

Underneath the topsheet, the Atris Birdie is built exactly like its bigger sibling. A poplar wood core delivers a damp, controlled feel underfoot, and fiberglass laminates contribute torsional stiffness and edge hold without bulking up the swing weight. Semi-cap construction wraps the ski with ABS sidewalls running the full length, which is a more committed build than you'll find on a lot of women's-specific big-mountain skis at this width. The double rocker profile makes the ski uncommonly easy to pivot and pivot-smear despite its width, while the medium camber underfoot keeps the edge engaged when you need it. The slightly straighter sidecut adds stability for a ski that lives well at speed, and the firm-but-progressive flex pattern is forgiving in chop without losing the structure you need on steeper, faster terrain.

Things to consider:

The Atris Birdie leans toward soft snow and freeride more than groomer carving. Skiers focused on hard-snow performance should look elsewhere in the line.

Fit & sizing considerations:

Skis true to length. Pick the size that matches your usual freeride or big-mountain length.
