The Corvus Freebird from Black Crows has been given some tweaks and updates for the 2021 ski season, and the result is a ski that's better than ever before. The Corvus name is well-known among Black Crows fans, much in thanks to the stiffer, heavier, big mountain charger. This Corvus Freebird, however, is part of the Black Crows touring collection and is designed to be efficient for the ascents and stable, playful, and fun for the descents. I mean, it's practically hot pink, so how could it not be fun? For 2021, Black Crows has reduced the amount of rocker and extended the sidecut. You get a more stable ski at speed with more precision in and out of a turn. A poplar wood core is supported by fiberglass and carbon, and a titanal reinforcement plate underfoot. As we've found, these titanal binding layers typically provide a little extra stability underfoot, and in this scenario, they also allow for a deeper drill depth to accommodate for new hybrid touring bindings.
