What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I rode the Corvus Ski on a wide open powder face where I could really open up my turns, and the 25-meter radius held a locked-in arc the entire way down. The stiffer poplar and beech core gave it real authority once I started pushing speed, without ever feeling harsh underfoot."Black Crows rebuilt the Corvus Ski to be a true big mountain weapon for the skier who wants to go fast and mean it. A 110mm waist gives it strong float through deep snow, while a 25-meter turn radius produces long, drawn-out arcs that feel locked in rather than forced, the kind of turn that rewards committed, high-speed skiing on open faces and powder fields. Straight running lines paired with a double rocker profile still let the ski pivot and smear when technical terrain calls for it, but its real home is wide open terrain skied with intent. A poplar and beech wood core gives the Corvus Ski more power and stiffness than the lighter cores found elsewhere in the Black Crows lineup, while fiberglass laminates and a single titanal plate underfoot add the damping and edge stability needed to hold that speed. Semi-cap construction with ABS sidewalls keeps power transfer direct and edge feel honest, and a flex that's solid underfoot but progressive through the tip and tail strikes a balance between authority and forgiveness when the terrain gets rough.
