About this product
The Black Crows Navis Freebird is a touring-focused ski built for human-powered missions across a range of snow conditions. Its directional freeride shape features camber underfoot and a rockered tip designed to handle mixed snow surfaces, making it a versatile choice for all-season backcountry use. The 102 mm waist width strikes a practical balance between float and precision, and the ski is available in four lengths: 167, 173, 179, and 185 cm. Construction centers on a Paulownia and Poplar wood core wrapped in a mix of glass and carbon fiber laminates, with a partial semi-cap design that uses cap construction in the tip area to reduce weight and improve handling. A titanal plate under the foot reinforces the binding zone for compatibility with modern hybrid bindings, and the progressive tail geometry supports both edge hold and pivoting. The mounting point sits at minus 9 cm from center.

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 near-cult-status "adventure ski" that handles virtually any mountain condition. Its 102mm waist, progressive tip rocker, and classic camber underfoot earn repeated compliments for delivering confident edge hold, surprising dampness, and an easy, predictable ride on everything from powder to mixed snow and crud. The paulownia/poplar core construction is singled out for achieving a calm, quiet feel that avoids the chattery character common in ultralight carbon touring skis. Uphill efficiency is also well regarded. The most common criticism is that it occupies a middle ground without excelling at the extremes: it is not light enough for skimo-focused days, not wide enough to be a dedicated powder ski, and not the best choice for charging through heavy refrozen crud at high speed.
