The 2027 Black Crows Atris with Tyrolia Attack 14 GW Bindings is the everyday big-mountain ski that has anchored the Black Crows lineup since 2014. With a wide waist, a long turn radius, and a true big-mountain build, this freeride ski lives somewhere between a daily driver and a freeride charger, and it handles the role with easy confidence in any condition. We paired the Atris with the Tyrolia Attack 14 GW because of the Attack’s light weight, reliability, and ease-of-use for all mountain and freeride skiers. Additionally, ample elastic travel and direct power transmission function to ensure these bindings cater perfectly to the needs of demanding freeriders.

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, so the ski stays 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 freeride 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 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. With a low stand height of just 17 millimeters, the 2027 Tyrolia Attack 14 offers an impressively close connection to the snow, delivering precise power transmission and a confident, locked-in feel. The FR Pro3 toe piece allows for a full 180 degrees of boot release, enhancing safety in a variety of fall scenarios, while the AFS (Anti-Friction Slider) ensures reliable re-centering and consistent release characteristics. Built to withstand hard use, the Attack 14 combines durability with performance, making it a go-to option for aggressive skiers who demand trust in their gear.

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:

The Atris skis true to length, despite its long radius, thanks to all that rocker. Pick the size that matches your usual freeride or big-mountain length.
