Love at first sight - Aspen


Meet us at Aspen Highlands on January 7 & 8 at Cripple Creek Backcountry for a demo of the Ova Freebird and register to one our ski touring initiation

Love at first sight


No lycra or carbon boots needed, turn that walk mode on and jump on a pair of our new ova freebird: the most comfortable and accessible vessel of our ski touring range, a ski specially designed for skiers willing to discover ski touring, and fall in love at first sight.






The New Ova Freebird



It is a ski with a noticeably sportier flex, very lively, but still very accessible and easy-going. The objective of lightness does not impose any constraints on its downhill behaviour, which must be comfortable and exemplary, and its new core makes it a beautiful beast of power, which gains in aggressiveness without losing its popularity.



Your hosts: Mikey Hovey and Casey Rietz



A wizardry of motion began with skateboards, led to snowboards, and eventually included skis. Casey Ritz does not discriminate against whatever is under his feet, as it is only the flow he creates that matters. The Ski Patroller has large skill bags and approaches the mountain in his own way as each turn, bump, rollover, lip and obstacle enhances the pleasure. His happiness is infectious, just follow him down the mountain and it is uncertain if there is more joy in watching him or in mimicking his laid-back style.

Mikey is a former Heli-ski guide with a passion for snow, and skiing with others. When he followed the skier’s migration to France, a love affair with blackcrows began. Et Voila, he became Le Capitaine of Ski Sauvage since its inception. He wanders around, seeking the opportunity to share an experience that only skiing provides, and his love of the mountains deepens in every moment shared.
