2025 Black Crows Navis Freebird Skis with Salomon S/Lab Shift MNC 13 Bindings

The Black Crows Navis Freebird Skis with Bindings is a great set up for those skiers who prefer to earn their turns rather than riding lifts. Although fully capable of resort skiing, their intended use is to tour, but they can certainly be used as 50/50, resort/backcountry ski if that is your intention. At 102- millimeters underfoot, the Navis Freebird is in the mid-fat range of Black Crows touring skis, sandwiched between the Ferox and Corvus and the Camox and Orb. While this ski is not skimo-race light, it is trim enough to carry up big peaks, skin all day, and still crush the backcountry and the front side. Tipping the scales at 3400 grams per pair at the 179-centimeter length, it will break trail and skin big vertical while feeling light on your feet, and will provide superior downhill capabilities when you are ready to let them rip downhill. Black Crows claims versatility with this ski, and they have succeeded in spades. In fact, it may be the most versatile ski in their entire touring collection. The skis float in powder and hold an edge on hardpack. If you want a ski and binding combination that is truly versatile in all conditions and that climbs efficiently and unleashes on the descents, you should strongly consider the Black Crows Navis Freebird Skis with Bindings.
