Black Crows Justis

The 100mm waist is the sweet spot for versatility. It is wide enough to provide solid float in soft snow and crud, yet narrow enough to remain quick edge-to-edge when carving on firm, groomed terrain.

The Justis is designed for aggressive, high-speed charging and requires a confident, experienced pilot. Its stiffer construction and titanal reinforcements are demanding, so it is best suited for advanced to expert skiers who want a stable platform at speed.

With a 20m radius, this ski prefers long, sweeping arcs rather than tight, quick slalom-style turns. It feels most comfortable when you are opening it up and letting the ski run at higher speeds.

This is a true all-mountain charger. It excels in variable conditions, such as chopped-up afternoon snow or wind-blown bowls, where its damp construction helps absorb chatter and maintain stability.

The progressive rocker helps the ski engage the turn smoothly and intuitively, despite its stiffer flex. It makes the ski feel less hooky in the tip, allowing for easier pivoting when you need to navigate tight spots or trees.

At 2050g, it is built for stability rather than lightweight touring. While it isn't a featherweight, the titanal provides a damp, planted feel that prevents the ski from deflecting in rough snow, which is a trade-off most aggressive skiers prefer.
