{"product_id":"2026-black-crows-octo-skis-102357","title":"2027 Black Crows Octo Skis","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 2027 Black Crows Octo is a fresh take on frontside carving, blending sharp turn initiation with a playful side. Inspired by the Mirus Cor but toned down for broader appeal, the Octo delivers quick, energetic turns with a modern aesthetic. Its 84mm waist and short 14-meter radius make it a nimble companion for creativity on groomed terrain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy we like it:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Octo stands out for its agility and responsiveness, offering a lively ride that encourages creative turn shapes without overwhelming the skier.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho it's for:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIdeal for intermediate to advanced skiers who prioritize quick edge-to-edge transitions and enjoy carving on groomed terrain, yet desire a ski that doesn't demand constant high-speed commitment or loads of skier input.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHighlights:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith a poplar wood core and fiberglass laminate, the Octo blends lightness and snap with a wickedly fun shape. A modest rocker profile in the tips combined with a slightly tapered shape promotes smooth turn initiation and a balanced feel, whether on corduroy or slightly bumped-up trails. The shape and construction encourage agility and creativity, giving the ski a personality that’s equal parts fun and functional.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThings to consider:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile the Octo excels in agility, its lighter construction will not provide the stability desired by those who frequently ski at high speeds or on very firm snow conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFit \u0026amp; sizing considerations:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSkis true to size. Skiers seeking maximum maneuverability might opt for shorter lengths, while those desiring slightly more stability can choose longer sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Black Crows","offers":[{"title":"167","offer_id":50062134509864,"sku":"102357|167","price":949.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"173","offer_id":50062134542632,"sku":"102357|173","price":949.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"179","offer_id":50062134575400,"sku":"102357|179","price":949.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"185","offer_id":50062134608168,"sku":"102357|185","price":949.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0670\/5135\/6456\/files\/2026-black-crows-octo-skis-102357-102357.jpg?v=1774449298","url":"https:\/\/checkout.skiessentials.com\/products\/2026-black-crows-octo-skis-102357","provider":"Ski Essentials","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
