2027 Black Crows Sato Skis with Tyrolia Attack 14 GW Bindings

The 2027 Black Crows Sato with Tyrolia Attack 14 GW Bindings is a freshly designed frontside all-mountain ski that blends smooth carving precision with an easygoing freeride feel. At 88 mm underfoot, the Sato delivers the quickness and edge grip you want on groomers while still offering enough rocker and surface area to venture confidently into variable terrain. It’s reactive and refined without being punishing, making it a refreshing option for resort skiers who value performance and approachability in equal measure. We paired the Sato with the Tyrolia Attack 14 GW because of the Attack’s light weight, reliability, and ease-of-use for all mountain and freeride skiers. Additionally, ample elastic travel and direct power transmission function to ensure these bindings cater perfectly to the needs of demanding freeriders.

Why we like it:

The Sato hits a sweet spot—carvy and energetic without feeling overly stiff or demanding. It has just enough playfulness to keep things fun while remaining planted and predictable on firmer snow. It’s the type of ski that invites you to explore the whole resort, not just the frontside.

Who it's for:

Ideal for intermediate to advanced skiers who want a lively, frontside-oriented ski with enough versatility to handle the occasional off-piste detour. If you're looking for something approachable but still capable of holding speed and carving with confidence, the Sato makes a great daily driver.

Highlights:

Built with semi-cap construction around a poplar and fiberglass core, the Sato combines a quick feel underfoot with a calm, damp ride. Classic camber through the midsection delivers responsive edge hold, while rocker in the tip and tail allows for easy transitions and playful maneuvering. Its consistent 18-meter turn radius adds stability across all sizes, reinforcing the ski’s versatile character. With a low stand height of just 17 millimeters, the 2027 Tyrolia Attack 14 offers an impressively close connection to the snow, delivering precise power transmission and a confident, locked-in feel. The FR Pro3 toe piece allows for a full 180 degrees of boot release, enhancing safety in a variety of fall scenarios, while the AFS (Anti-Friction Slider) ensures reliable re-centering and consistent release characteristics. Built to withstand hard use, the Attack 14 combines durability with performance, making it a go-to option for aggressive skiers who demand trust in their gear.

Things to consider:

This ski thrives on groomers and firmer snow. If deep powder or high-speed freeride charging is your focus, a wider or more robust model—like the Black Crows Serpo—may better suit your needs.

Fit & sizing considerations:

The Sato skis true to size. Confident skiers can size up for added edge length and stability, but most riders will find their usual all-mountain length to be the best balance of performance and agility.
