Black Crows Camox Freebird Ski
If you've spent much time on the skin track recently, you've likely seen a pair (or two) of these bright red skis making their way uphill. And for good reason -- with the Camox Freebird, Black Crows created an icon of a touring ski that can serve as an all-around touring ski for nearly any skier in any environment. Equally happy billy-goating around steep terrain or making playful wiggles in powder, the Camox Freebird is a fun and versatile daily driver. Recently made not too heavy, the ski still has a damp construction and progressive flex that makes it a pleasure to ski in all sorts of conditions. Glass and carbon stringers add torsional stiffness and when combined with ABS sidewalls underfoot, mutes out vibration and increase confidence on firm snow. A titanal mounting plate reinforces the binding area while a versatile 95mm width and rockered shovel provide ample float in powder without sacrificing hard snow performance. A slight early rise will help the tails release easily while the overall tail profile remains flat for easy kick turns and security in steep terrain. Finally, the aggressively red coloring will make it easily findable should it go astray. Whether you're doing resort uphill laps or steep ski mountaineering lines, the Camox Freebird will be a reliable and rewarding companion.
- Semi-cap construction in the tip and tail keeps the weight down while ABS sidewalls underfoot provide precision and durability.
- Carbon and glass stringers provide torsional stiffness for security in firm conditions.
- Progressive flex isn't overpowering, allowing you to confidently navigate tricky snow conditions.
- Titanal binding reinforcement keeps the binding securely attached to your ski.
