Skis

The Ova Freebird is the ideal ski for skitouring, which will save you a lot of energy even on long tours and multi-day traverses like the legendary Haute Route. The updated Ovas have a longer effective edge and increased stiffness, yet remain exceptionally maneuverable skis. The lightweight ski (only 1125g) is pleasant on the ascent and comfortable on the descent, whether on or off-piste, thanks to its 85mm waist width. You can also rely on them on frozen hard snow, as is customary with Black Crows skis. Tuned longitudinal stiffness that won't let you down on longer fast turns, but truly excels in shorter ones, when weaving between trees or obstacles. If the ascent is tough, rest assured that this ski will make the descent easier and forgive a few mistakes in technique. The gentle rocker in the tip and classic camber allow for smooth skiing without needing to lean into the skis with all your might, making it easy to avoid all the hazards of the descent and truly enjoy the ride. Stability in soft snow and excellent grip on hard surfaces are inherent to the Ova Freebird skis, thanks to the titanal reinforcement under the binding and the torsional reinforcement made of carbon and fiberglass. The torsional reinforcement runs the full length of the ski's wood core, making the ski perfectly stiff and vibration-damping. Thanks to its easy handling, you'll have perfect confidence even when the snow conditions change or on an icy patch, and you'll enjoy every turn to the fullest. You'll feel the ski's low weight of 1125g with every step, and thanks to the energy saved, you'll fully enjoy the well-deserved descent even after a demanding ascent. The guarantee of a perfect experience comes primarily from the most sophisticated materials that are typical for Black Crows models. During all-day tours with long stages, every energy saving is worth its weight in gold. The Ova Freebird skis were designed for tours over high passes with long, tiring descents with a backpack, where every saved gram counts. You'll appreciate their lightness, easy handling, and construction, which won't surprise you with changing snow conditions or early morning frozen firn. Even after a demanding ascent, you'll enjoy a fulfilling descent full of playful turns.
