Black Crows Atris Birdie
Black Crows’ Atris Birdie is a Buyer’s Guide stalwart for its ability to hit Mach speed, take flight off big cliffs and handle sketchy runouts like a total boss. At 108-mm underfoot with a slightly extended sidecut for stability at speed, the Atris Birdie belongs on the biggest lines you’ve ever dreamt about skiing—just ask Michelle Parker. A poplar wood core keeps this big-mountain plank poppy and playful while a double rocker profile (rocker in the tip and tail) accounts for this songbird’s ability to maneuver on a whim. A progressive flex in the tip and tail gives the ski a bit of wiggle room in softer snow but a stiffer flex in the center of the ski ensures total confidence when the runout toughens up. Whatever you want to achieve on skis, the Atris Birdie will do it with flying colors.
FREESKIER Tester Thoughts:
“You’ll fly to the MOON with the Atris. So incredibly poppy yet so stable when you finally come down. A perfect daily driver.”
“Yewwww, love this ski—it makes you feel like a champ in all conditions and on all terrain.”
