Black Crow's  Camox has freestyle DNA & an all-condition design, making it a playful but not soft, freeride & all mountain ski. There's no metal in the build but a solid construction,  and a shape that keeps the effective edge long,  means it has plenty of control for stronger skiers. On piste it isn't afraid of speed & will lay down medium & long turns as well as popping off hits & bumps. Off-piste & the mix of stability & manoeuvrability makes it shine, whether turning through powder or dealing with old snow, on wide open slopes or in tighter,  more controlled situations.  Terrain Type & Ability Level Terrain Type The Camox is a genuine all rounder, happy to carve & play on pistes all day or to head off-piste & explore whatever snow you'll find. In medium & long turns on groomers you can dial up the speed & the grip won't let you down at all. Then,  because there's no metal,  it isn't over-stiff or over-precise when skiing off-piste & manoeuvrability becomes more important, especially as the terrain or conditions get trickier.  It won't match the float of wider,  more rockered models but it will leave them in its trail away from the powder. Skier Type Advanced all condition skiers looking for a strong but playful ski will definitely enjoy the Camox. There's no metal in here, so the flex is a bit softer than some skis around the same width that would have it, but for a ski with this kind of construction it feels nicely solid. It's not an especially forgving ski so won't suit intermediates particularly well. For decent skiers it strikes a good balance between grip & control for carving on pistes & manoeuvrability for skiing all mountain.  Overview Shape 97mm in the waist with a 20m radius (180cm) make this an excellent all rounder, capable of dealing with any snow. Stable & wide enough to handle soft or mixed conditions and still lay down medium & long radius turns on piste.  The contact points sit further into the tip & tail than a Captis & this makes it more positive in & out of the turn,  adding extra grip as the contact length is longer.  It's freestyle DNA is seen in the partial twin tip design at the tail that allows a smoother turn release & adds to the playful feel of the ski. Rocker Double Rocker uses a rocker at the tip & tail with medium classic camber underfoot. The rocker helps with control in rougher snow & improves manoeuvrability. The camber helps with grip & response. Core A poplar wood core ensures good durability & energy. Construction The cap sidewall mix offers the best of both. The cap sections at the tip & tail increase durability & help with ease in & out of the turn. The sidewall improves the grip & precision. This combination works well on a 97mm ski as it allows strong skiing on firm snow & isn't over-responsive when the conditions get difficult or soft. Key Featurese B tester’s comments: Mark (Trainer)  These feel great in such a mixture of conditions & speeds. Fast on the groomer or a little slower just off the side or a bit beyond. Perfect for anyone wanting to get more adventurous.

The  Captis  Birdie is built for playing, no matter where you are on the hill or what the weather is doing. The medium flex core, central camber & 90mm waist provide a stable fun platform with the versatility to ski anywhere.  Tip & tail rocker work perfectly with this, improving handling in softer or rougher snow. The result is a perfect ski for exploring the mountain. It's just at home on the piste as it is slashing the slush or floating through powder.   Terrain Type & Ability Level Terrain Type It's a resort based ski, hitting the pistes & the easily accessible terrain around the runs. Red slopes would it be the default setting, cruising fast & swapping turn sizes, carving or allowing some sliding in & out of turns, as well as getting away from the marked trails & looking for other snow. It is not over-stiff but still feels solid, it's as much fun skiing off the sides as it is on piste. Thanks to its good stability it doesn't get kicked about. easy manoeuvrability makes it simple to handle whether in powder, trees or bumps. Skier Type Good intermediate & lighter, or smoother skiing, advanced skiers. There's no metal in the construction so it isn't over-stiff but, for a ski without metal, it doesn't feel soft either. This translates to nice mix of forgiving & solid & is ideal for an all mountain skier that will be skiing pistes a lot of the time with the occasional run off the sides & further. It makes a great alternative to a freestyle ski as it has more grip & is more powerful as it retains that playful, poppy feel. Overview Shape 90mm is perfect for a go anywhere ski that doesn't lose piste performance & the 17m radius (164cm) matches this to make it feel comfortable in any environment. The tip & tail have long transition areas with the contact points set back, making the ski track more smoothly & feel more stable; the tail is lifted – not as much as a twin tip – & this allows a smoother turn release.  Rocker Double Rocker uses a rocker at the tip & tail with medium classic camber underfoot. The rocker helps with control in rougher snow & improves manoeuvrability. The camber helps with grip & response. Core A poplar wood core ensures good durability & energy, this is slightly softer than unisex version of the Captis. Construction The cap sidewall mix offers the best of both. The cap sections at the tip & tail increase durability & help with ease in & out of the turn. The sidewall sits in the centre & improves the grip & precision. This combination works well on a 90mm ski as it allows strong skiing on firm snow & isn't over-responsive when the conditions get difficult or soft. Key Featurese B tester’s comments: Sarah (Aviemore) So playful & such a lively all mountain ski. Super smooth transitions between terrain types & good on firm snow too.

...

The Corvus Freebird is a favourite of european chargers in resorts such as Chamonix. It’s a powerful backcountry ski that performs like a burly freeride model but thanks to the paulownia & poplar core with glass & carbon fibre it doesn’t have excess weight. 109mm underfoot provides width for float; the semi-cap construction balances durability with precision. A 21m radius works perfectly with the progressive tip rocker for maximum stability in choppy snow; the long classic camber ensures grip & alpine performance. A progressive tail means less washout & easier pivots. Tester’s comments: Dani (Aviemore) The width & lightness ensure it is floaty & playful in soft spring snow. Its blend & length of tip/tail progressive rocker make it great through all turn shapes & styles. ...
