Description
The Black Crows Orb Freebird is a springtime beast, with enough width and rocker for the pow days. We also love this ski, paired with a really lightweight boot, for a stable and solid light mountaineering setup.
Tech Specs
Dressed in its famous one-piece fluorescent yellow, the orb Freebird is a reference in ski touring. Designed with a fine and progressive rocker lift that gives it a strong base and a very secure grip, it is the perfect companion for vertical odysseys. Cut for the mountain with a 90mm waist width, light, and with very good skiability, it is the accomplice of all the adventures, including the most radical. For the smaller riders, a new small size (155cm) is here this year.
The intention was to make a ski that skis well first and foremost, and then make it light on the skin approach or on your back when the climbing gets serious. Black Crows use a Paulownia wood core for the Orb's lightness. The pop and stiffness without chatter are achieved with the combination of carbon and fiberglass- in both biaxial and triaxial weaves. This gives the ski a ton of lateral stiffness while maintaining a subtle touch as the ski flexes. When you're in the steep terrain that the Orb was designed for, limited chatter and a solid yet nimble touch throughout the turn are your keys to success.
Whether ripping brainless corn laps smiling while ear to ear, or getting into the gnar, the Black Crows Orb Freebird is an awesome choice for descent-oriented skiers who prefer a less-than-bro width. Paired perfectly with Black Crow Climbing skins from Pomoca.
