Black Crows Anima

While the Anima is primarily designed for deep powder and big mountain terrain, its ABS sidewalls and poplar core provide decent edge hold on firmer snow. However, given the 115mm waist width, it will require more effort to roll from edge to edge compared to a dedicated carving ski.

Yes, the Anima features a double rocker profile and a relatively balanced flex, making it quite capable for freestyle-oriented backcountry riding. It is designed to handle pivots, jumps, and switch landings with ease.

This ski is built for advanced to expert skiers who spend most of their time in big mountain terrain, deep powder, or steep, technical lines. It rewards aggressive, confident riders who want a ski that can handle high speeds while remaining playful enough for creative maneuvers.

The 115mm waist provides exceptional float in deep snow, but it also means the ski has a wider platform underfoot. While the double rocker profile helps keep it nimble for quick pivots, it will feel less snappy in tight, technical glades than a narrower, more traditional ski.

The Anima is compatible with most standard alpine or touring bindings. Because it is a freeride-focused ski, many riders choose to mount it with a high-performance binding that offers a higher DIN range to match the ski's aggressive capabilities.
