As 102- millimeters underfoot with progressive tip rocker, the Navis Freebird can handle just about any type of snow condition. Sure, it's not as wide as a dedicated powder ski, and not as grippy on ice as a narrower, stiffer ski, but it has a very balanced combination of performance characteristics.  Black Crows uses a blended core of poplar and paulownia wood. Poplar provides energy and responsiveness, while paulownia keeps the weight to a minimum (Just 3400 grams per pair at the 179 –centimeter length). Fiberglass is combined with carbon fiber to provide more energy, responsiveness, and stability. The progressive tail shape gives the ski less washout and easier pivoting turn initiation. Black Crows also adds a layer of titanal underfoot for binding retention, and adds to performance as well, giving the ski a little more stability underfoot. For ski tourers, it’s a great expedition or long day spring ski. Stable, playful, and stands nicely under pressure. The Navis Freebird is specifically designed for those long days and long expeditions. It's a perfect application for the ski, but if you're like most of us and just don't have the time or opportunity for that many extended backcountry touring trips, it works really well for day trips or pre-work skin laps too.

Those skis must totally and completely excel in one particular area as a result, and the K2 244 skis are a prime example of this.  Built exclusively for competitive or obsessive mogul skiers, these straight sticks are a throwback to the skis of the mid-90's.  It’s funny, though, how race skis have undergone a series of changes over the years, and have incorporated and altered different shaping techniques to maximize their efficiency in a race course, while mogul skis have stayed relatively the same.  My big beef is that they’re just not long enough for bigger skiers, topping out at 173, but that’s mostly the case with competition bump skis these days.  Nothin’ like my old 203’s (which I still have, btw)!  At any rate, another one of the changes is that they use denser wood and more fiberglass to add more heft to the ski, so that 173 does ski and feel longer.  Since they’re built to absolutely demolish tight zipper lines and land huge airs at almost 30 mph, they do have to have a more robust build, and K2 nails it.  At 66 mm underfoot, they’re also a bit wider than my old skis (there I go again down memory lane), and while this makes for a bit less quickness, when it’s combined with the shorter lengths, it makes more sense.
