2027 Black Crows Camox Freebird Skis W/ Skins Set with Tyrolia Attack 14 GW Bindings

The 2027 Black Crows Camox Freebird with Tyrolia Attack 14 GW Bindings is the fifth iteration of this versatile mid-fat touring ski, completely modernized for the season. With a refined tip, a wider waist, a new sidecut, a new climbing skin system, and an overall lighter build, it's more dynamic and capable than ever. It includes a matched set of Black Crows Pilus skins. We paired the Camox Freebird 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 Camox Freebird has always been the friendliest ski in the Freebird line, and the 2027 version sharpens that personality. The tighter sidecut makes it noticeably more dynamic during weight transfers, and it feels more reactive edge to edge than the version it replaces, all while shedding meaningful weight on the climb.

Who it's for:

Intermediate through expert touring skiers who want a versatile, accessible mid-fat touring ski. A great fit for skiers building backcountry skills, all-around tourers who want one ski for everything from spring corn to mid-winter powder, and anyone who prioritizes a manageable, playful ride over maximum charging power.

Highlights:

Construction is where the Camox Freebird earns its weight savings. The core is full paulownia, the lightest wood in Black Crows' touring quiver, reinforced with a mix of carbon and fiberglass laminates that add torsional stiffness without adding grams. A titanal plate under the binding zone gives the ski the binding retention and stability it needs to handle hybrid touring bindings safely. The construction is semi-cap with ABS sidewalls underfoot and a partial cap up front for additional weight savings. Profile-wise, the ski runs progressive front rocker paired with an early-rise tail for pivot control and float in soft snow, while a classic medium camber underfoot keeps the edge engaged on harder skin tracks and firmer descents. The new wider waist and shorter, more responsive 18-meter sidecut radius dial up the maneuverability without giving up much stability. The included Pilus skins are sized exactly for the Camox Freebird, so the package is ready to climb out of the box. 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:

The Camox Freebird is built around accessibility and weight savings, not maximum descent performance. Skiers who want a stouter, more chargeable touring ski for committed big-mountain lines should look at the Navis Freebird or Corvus Freebird instead.

Fit & sizing considerations:

The Camox Freebird skis true to length. Pick the size that matches your usual touring length, or size down if you want a more playful, maneuverable ride.
