About this product
The Black Crows Navis Freebird is a 102mm-waist touring ski built for human-powered missions across varied terrain and snow conditions. Available in a 167 cm length, it features a directional freeride shape with camber underfoot and a rockered tip designed to handle mixed snow surfaces with confidence. The core combines Paulownia and Poplar woods in a Paulownia/Poplar/Paulownia layup, reinforced with a mix of glass and carbon fiber laminates for a lightweight yet responsive feel. A partial semi-cap construction, with cap geometry in the tip area, keeps weight down while improving handling and maneuverability. A titanal plate under the foot provides a dedicated reinforcement zone for hybrid binding compatibility, and the mounting point sits at minus 9 cm. The progressive tail design supports stability while facilitating pivoting in tight or technical situations. Black Crows recommends pairing this ski with a brake width no more than 15 mm wider than the 102mm waist.

What people are saying
Reviewers consistently praise the Black Crows Navis Freebird as one of the most versatile and approachable backcountry touring skis available, describing it as a true "backcountry all-mountain" ski that handles a wide range of conditions with confidence. Its 102mm waist, progressive tip rocker, and classic camber underfoot earn repeated compliments for delivering reliable edge hold, a predictable and forgiving ride, and solid uphill efficiency without being excessively heavy. Users highlight how well it handles mixed snow, crud, and even ice for a touring ski. The most common criticism is that it occupies a middle ground: it is not light enough for dedicated skimo or long-distance uphill missions, and not wide or surfy enough for deep powder days. Some forum users also note that the smaller titanal mounting plate on newer versions limits binding placement flexibility compared to older models.
