The 2027 Black Crows Atris is the everyday big-mountain ski that has anchored the Black Crows lineup since 2014. With a 105-mm waist, a long turn radius, and a true big-mountain build, it lives somewhere between a daily driver and a freeride charger and handles the role with easy confidence in any condition.

Why we like it:

The Atris has that rare quality of feeling damp and stable without ever feeling boring. The fiberglass-and-poplar layup carries energy through the turn instead of muting it, and the result is a ski that's planted enough to charge through chop or open powder fields but stays smooth and approachable when you back off. That balance is what makes it one of the most usable skis at this width.

Who it's for:

Advanced and expert skiers who want a versatile wide-bodied ski that excels in soft snow but holds its own anywhere. Especially well-suited to skiers in deeper-snow regions, freeride-leaning all-mountain riders, and anyone who wants one ski to handle big terrain across a wide range of conditions.

Highlights:

The construction is classic Black Crows. A poplar wood core gives the Atris a smooth, damp character with the kind of energy that doesn't feel artificial. Fiberglass laminates add torsional stiffness without making the ski feel locked-in or muted, and the semi-cap construction with ABS sidewalls all around delivers consistent power transfer along the full length of the ski. Profile-wise, classic medium camber underfoot pairs with a double rocker that gives the Atris real maneuverability and pivot in tight terrain. The slightly straighter sidecut keeps it stable at speed and gives a nice, controllable balance between firmness and maneuverability. Firm flex underfoot with a more progressive flex up front means the ski supports you when you commit but stays forgiving over variable surfaces.

Things to consider:

The Atris is a soft-snow specialist, not a frontside tool. It can handle groomers fine, but the long turn radius and big-mountain personality mean it really wants to be skied with intent on bigger, more open terrain.

Fit & sizing considerations:

Skis true to length, despite it's long radius, thanks to all that rocker. Pick the size that matches your usual freeride or big-mountain length.
