Black Crows Camox

The 96mm waist is a true all-mountain sweet spot. It is wide enough to provide decent float in soft snow and powder, yet narrow enough to roll edge-to-edge quickly on firm groomers.

The progressive flex makes these skis quite forgiving and approachable, but they are designed with an intermediate-to-advanced skier in mind. Beginners might find them a bit more demanding than a dedicated entry-level ski, though they are excellent for someone looking to progress their skills quickly.

The semi-cap construction combines the durability of a sidewall underfoot with the weight savings and forgiving nature of a cap construction in the tips and tails. This helps the ski feel nimble in tight terrain while maintaining strong edge grip where you need it most.

Poplar is a classic choice for ski cores because it offers a lively, energetic feel with good dampening properties. It provides enough stability to handle variable terrain without making the ski feel heavy or sluggish.

They are designed to do both well. While they aren't dedicated race skis for pure carving, they are very capable on groomers; their true strength lies in their versatility, allowing you to move seamlessly from open bowls to trees and bumps.
