Equipped with a tail tip and a double rocker, this is a ski which offers great sensations in powder with its planing and immediate pivot, but which still sits well on hard snow due to its progressive side-lines. To optimise its weight (3 600 g for the 181 cm), the Ferox was conceived on a 3D shape drawn in an H which cuts the upper part of the ski and lightens it without altering its solidity due to a carbon reinforcement which adopts this 3D shape. The core was also made lighter with a mix of paulownia, poplar and, for the first time with Black Crows, isocore (a polyurethane mousse strengthened with continuous glass fibre).
"The Ferox Freebird is my ski of choice for some self-accessed big-mountain faces, mini-golf lines or just to explore the mountains with a capable touring ski that makes the hike easy and the descent a party. It’s light, performing, it likes to jump and its double rocker makes it butter friendly and rideable backward. "

"It might be cliche? to point out that a fat ski handles hard snow better than expected, but some people still judge books by their covers. The ferox freebird is certainly a powder champ, girthy enough to handle the deepest days, but is still lightweight for pleasant uphill travel. With a unique 3D profile that puts paulownia and poplar wood over the ski’s edges but integrates thin carbon and Isocore polyurethane throughout to keep the ski spry, the ferox freebird will be the talk of the trailhead every time you take it out. “Floaty, fun, and cool-looking.” Ski Mag Best Backcountry Skis 2020
