What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: "The Sato is quick and confident—great on hardpack and super fun to rip through trees. It’s light underfoot, has just the right amount of flex, and grips when I need it to. Definitely a go-to for carving-focused skiers who still want to explore." When we want to lean into turns on corduroy but still have the freedom to chase fun across the whole mountain, the Black Crows Sato Ski delivers. With a 90mm waist, the Sato feels nimble and precise, offering edge-to-edge quickness with just enough width to handle chopped-up snow and variable conditions. Its refined shape features a slightly shorter sidecut for tighter carving arcs, while the double rocker makes transitions smooth and snappy. A poplar and fiberglass core keeps things energetic yet stable, while the progressive flex and classic camber underfoot deliver edge hold and rebound in equal measure. Finished with semi-cap construction and ABS sidewalls for durability and power transfer, the Sato is a perfect daily driver for intermediate to advanced skiers who want high-speed carving with playful, all-mountain versatility.
