About this product

The Black Crows Draco Freebird paired with the Salomon S/LAB Shift² MN 13 bindings forms a capable alpine touring package built for mid-winter backcountry days and deeper snow conditions. The Draco sits at the widest end of Black Crows' touring lineup, featuring a 120 mm waist width and a 21-meter turn radius that encourages long, sweeping arcs without feeling overly demanding in tighter terrain. A double rocker profile with a slight camber underfoot balances float in soft snow with edge grip on firmer surfaces. The paulownia and poplar core keeps weight in check while the sintered base and semi-cap construction with ABS sidewalls contribute to durability and smooth glide. The tip shape is relatively refined compared to more aggressive freeride designs, and the flex pattern is forgiving enough to reduce fatigue on extended tours. The Salomon S/LAB Shift² MN 13 binding completes the setup, offering a genuine alpine-to-touring transition. The package is finished in Black and Silver Metallic.

What people are saying

Reviewers consistently praise the Black Crows Draco Freebird as the most playful and fun ski in the Black Crows touring lineup, highlighting its excellent float in deep powder, easy pivot and slash thanks to the double rocker, and surprising edge grip on firm snow for a 110mm touring ski. Its twin-tip shape and progressive mount point earn high marks for freestyle-oriented backcountry skiers. The Salomon S/LAB Shift2 MN 13 binding is widely celebrated as the gold standard hybrid AT binding, with the Shift2 update resolving the pre-release issues of the original through its Power Block AFD and reinforced toe piece. The most common criticism of the ski is its weight, which experts note makes it a poor choice for long, efficiency-focused tours. The binding draws occasional complaints about a fiddly toe lever in snowy conditions and small brake-release slots that are difficult to operate with thick gloves. Both components are best suited to aggressive, downhill-focused backcountry skiers rather than minimalist tourers.
