Black Crows Camox Alpine Ski

The Black Crows Camox Alpine Ski is for advanced skiers who want one 97 mm ski for groomers, bumps, and soft snow off the piste, with the option to mount a touring binding for side-country laps. Medium camber underfoot between a rockered tip and tail grips on firm snow and smears in soft snow, and an 18 m radius at every length keeps the ski quick and predictable from edge to edge. Built on a poplar core with fiberglass in a semi-cap layup, with a progressive flex that is stiffer underfoot and softer at the ends, the Black Crows Camox suits all-mountain resort days, off-piste laps, and short hikes from the lift.

Why We Like It

  • Medium camber underfoot with rocker at both ends gives the Black Crows Camox real grip on firm snow and an easy release in bumps and soft snow.
  • The 18 m radius holds at every length, so choosing a longer Camox adds stability and edge without making the turn shape lazier.
  • A progressive flex, stiffer underfoot and softer in the tip and tail, supports a strong skier at speed and forgives a mistake at the ends of the ski.
  • The 97 mm waist sits in the middle of the all-mountain range, wide enough for a few inches of new snow and narrow enough to switch edges quickly on hardpack.

Best Uses

  • All-mountain resort skiing on one pair
  • Off-piste laps in soft and variable snow
  • Bumps and trees
  • Side-country hikes from the lift with a touring binding
  • Skiers stepping up to a more playful all-mountain ski

Ski Selection Advice

The Black Crows Camox comes in 169, 175, 182, and 188 cm, all with an 18 m radius, so length changes stability and float more than turn shape. Skiers who spend their days in bumps and trees can choose the shorter of the two lengths they fit, and skiers who ski fast on open terrain can size up.

The Camox is built as an all-mountain ski, so most skiers mount an alpine binding. Skiers who want side-country laps can mount a frame or pin-tech touring binding instead. Whatever the binding, choose a brake wider than the 97 mm waist; a 100 mm brake clears it. Match the binding to your boot sole norm. For touring, we size skins off the tail: the 118 and 120 mm tails on the 169 and 175 cm take 120 mm stock, and the 122 mm and wider tails on the 182 and 188 cm take 140 mm stock.

Common Questions

Who should buy the Black Crows Camox?
The Black Crows Camox suits advanced skiers who want one ski for groomers, bumps, trees, and soft snow off the piste. At 97 mm underfoot with medium camber and an 18 m radius, it grips on firm snow and stays easy to turn in variable conditions.
What bindings work with the Black Crows Camox?
The Black Crows Camox takes alpine bindings for resort skiing, or a frame or pin-tech touring binding for side-country laps. Choose a brake wider than the 97 mm waist; a 100 mm brake clears it. Match the binding to your boot sole norm.
Is the Black Crows Camox a touring ski?
No. The Black Crows Camox is an all-mountain ski with a semi-cap build and no touring-specific features such as a skin notch. It takes a touring binding well for side-country hikes, but tourers who climb most days should look at a lighter, dedicated touring ski.
What length Black Crows Camox should I ride?
The Black Crows Camox comes in 169, 175, 182, and 188 cm, all with an 18 m radius. Choose the shorter of the two lengths you fit for bumps and trees, and the longer one for speed and open terrain.
How does the Black Crows Camox handle firm snow?
Well for a 97 mm ski. Medium camber underfoot and a flex that is stiffest under the boot keep the edge engaged on hardpack, and the 18 m radius finishes turns without much input. On boilerplate at high speed a metal-laminate ski stays calmer.
Does the Black Crows Camox float in powder?
In a few inches of new snow, yes. The rockered tip and 133 mm shovel at 175 cm lift in soft snow, and the rockered tail releases easily. Skiers who see deep snow most days should choose a ski over 100 mm underfoot.

Our Verdict

The Black Crows Camox Alpine Ski is a versatile all-mountain ski for advanced skiers who want grip, quickness, and a forgiving flex in one pair. Medium camber between rockered ends grips on firm snow and smears in soft snow, an 18 m radius at every length keeps the ski quick, and the 97 mm waist covers most resort days. Tourers who climb every day need a lighter ski, and for resort laps with side-country hikes the Black Crows Camox is a capable all-rounder.
