PRESENTATION OF THE BLACK CROWS NAVIS FREEBIRD
The Versatile Touring Ski for Big Mountain Adventures
The Black Crows Navis Freebird is designed for ski tourers looking for a versatile ski that performs across a wide range of terrain and snow conditions. With a 102 mm waist, it sits at the heart of the Freebird range, delivering an ideal balance of float, stability and efficiency for long days in the mountains. Developed for demanding alpine routes, multi-day ski traverses and committed descents, it is aimed at skiers who want outstanding downhill performance without compromising the lightweight efficiency needed for long ascents.
Built for Modern Ski Touring
The Navis Freebird features a lightweight construction combining a wood core with technical reinforcements to maximize the weight-to-performance ratio. Its shape has been engineered to provide excellent stability at speed while remaining agile in variable terrain. A relatively straight sidecut enhances directional stability and overall balance, while the carefully tuned flex delivers precision and control in the most demanding situations.
Versatility and Confidence in the Mountains
Thanks to its mid-fat waist and modern profile, the Navis Freebird is equally at home in powder, spring snow and firmer conditions. It inspires confidence while maintaining a high level of downhill performance across a wide range of terrain. This versatility makes it one of the flagship models in the Freebird collection for ski tourers seeking a single ski capable of handling the majority of their backcountry adventures.
