freebird
Still as green as its appearance in 2014, the navis freebird is a hunter of all horizons: day outings or long multi-day raids, big powder or steep slopes in hard snow. A lightweight, reliable touring ski whose thirst for adventure knows no bounds. The navis freebird is a hymn to freedom.
With each monochrome, a desire for adventure. Search the earth for a secluded spot and enjoy freedom to the full: that's the freebird philosophy.
Since the first two models were developed in 2012, blackcrows has been promoting a the idea of freedom in the mountains. The touring range has now expanded to provide every personality with a ski to match their desire for adventure. Now the emblem of the freebird category, the navis freebird, whose green color reflects the wilderness, marks the point of convergence between lift, grip and lightness: it will take you to the end of the world.

freeride revolution
atris
Released in 2014, the atris aimed to offer a universal double rocker ski dedicated to all facets of big mountain skiing. Now a worldwide benchmark, it has enabled a whole generation of skiers to discover the joys of piloting a double rocker capable of doing it all. Modernized twice to enhance its versatility on hard snow, it symbolizes the marriage of freedom and efficiency. It is the freeride genius.
Originally from Tromsø, in the far north of Norway, where snowy mountains stretch as far as the eyes can see, Nikolai Schirmer is a patient, talented and expert downhill hunter. When time comes, he emerges, meticulously, capturing his adventures and unique knowledge in amazing video.
“atris is the first blackcrows ski I ever used. I had it during my first winter as a ski bum in Chamonix and it was perfect, you can do it all with it. You can push in any direction. I use it in powder, park, expedition, freeride, anything. It leaves every door open.”

shaping the future
nocta
A revolutionary ski released in 2011, the nocta is the first blackcrows ski designed by Julien Regnier and the brand’s first ski to use a progressive double rocker and inverted camber technology. Extremely agile and with a large load-bearing surface, it has helped to modernize the way we ski. A technological revolution which has undeniably left its mark on ski culture.
Julien Regnier is the blackcrows ski shaper and a freestyle legend. Driven by curiosity and determination, he is a visionaire at the forefront of the evolution of freestyle skiing since the 1990s. He is the former leader of the French mogul team and participated in the Nagano Olympics.
"I first created this ski as there was no big backcountry freestyle ski at blackcrows. As the seasons went by it became lighter, its camber flatter and its flex softer, to become a powder ski with good grip on hard snow. With its ability to pivot you're in for a treat."

About the corvus: "We wanted to create a ski that would work in all types of snow, from the summit of the Aiguille du Midi to the outskirts of Chamonix."
Co-founder of blackcrows, Bruno Compagnet devotes himself incessantly to skis, he is capable of taking you to the end of the world and bringing people’s hearts closer together. About the corvus "We wanted the ultimate weapon for the Grands-Montets cable car. We had it."
