DESIGNED AND TESTED IN CHAMONIX, the Black Crows Anima reflects where it came from. What we have here is a big mountain driver that can perform as any freeride skier would demand. Trusted by Freeride World Tour Champion Kristoffer Turdell, the Black Crows Anima is equipped to tackle high speeds in a variety of conditions, while still catering to skiers who see the mountain as a playground. Our testers declared, “the Anima is an absolute mobber of a ski. It doesn’t want to turn much. No, it wants to choose the fastest way down the mountain, popping off a few side hits on the way. Strength and grace rolled into one.” It’s built with a poplar and fiberglass core, short camber underfoot and double rocker. These attributes amount to progressive flex where you need it in the tip and tail, and stability at the contact points underfoot. For the skier who wants to rip the steeps with speed and let loose on natural features all the way down.
