What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying: "The Anima is the kind of ski that makes big lines feel like a playground. It floats like a dream with its 115mm waist but still holds steady at speed. The Carbon/Kevlar layup gives it power without feeling stiff, and the progressive flex lets me smear, pivot, or charge-whatever the mountain calls for." When we're charging steep faces, airing natural features, or floating through bottomless powder, the Black Crows Anima Skis are the tools we trust to bring creative energy to big-mountain terrain. With input from Freeride World Champion Kristofer Turdell, these skis are built for riders who demand power and control without sacrificing playful expression. The 115mm platform offers effortless float in soft conditions, while a double rocker profile boosts pivot control and maneuverability when navigating tight zones or throwing tricks. Underfoot, a stiff camber section and long sidecut radius provide the stability we need when speeds pick up. Carbon and Kevlar laminates reinforce the poplar/fiberglass core for a ride that's equally responsive and damp. Whether we're dropping cliffs or drawing arcs down a face, the Anima delivers big-mountain capability with freestyle soul.
