Black Crows Mentis Freebird skis, 80, turquoise green

The Black Crows Mentis Freebird ski is a ski created for the greatest challenges in the form of demanding ascents and steep descents. With a weight of only 1000 g, the ski has properties and stiffness for a unique skiing experience in any conditions. When climbing to the summit, it won't weigh you down even if you strap it to your backpack or just quickly slide it behind a backpack strap. However, when skiing down from the summit, the real ride begins: titanal under the binding provides stiffness and support, the Paulownia core provides lightness, and a mix of fiberglass and carbon fibers ensures sufficient resilience and flex. 80 mm underfoot means the skis don't sink too much and give you confidence in turns, while also being pleasant on longer traverses. During testing, no limits were found for the ski on any slope or snow type, whether it was fresh snow, melted firn, or frozen, breakable crust. Can you find them?!

Good grip will give you confidence on demanding descents and during long turns

The right balance between longitudinal and torsional stiffness is key to stability and easy handling. For your maximum safety and confidence, Julien Regnier has incorporated the following elements into the Mentis Freebird model:

• Titanal reinforcement under the binding - dampens vibrations, gives the ski calm and grip - stability at speed and on uneven terrain.
• Mix of fiberglass and carbon fibers - distributes the load along the entire length of the ski - high torsional stiffness and long lifespan - the ski doesn't jump out of turns or on uneven terrain.
• Long classic camber – sufficient ski-to-snow contact – the edge holds well even at higher speeds.

You'll appreciate the easy maneuverability in narrow and steep couloirs

When skiing in off-piste terrain, it is often necessary to change direction quickly to safely avoid rocks or obstacles. The easy maneuverability of the Mentis Freebird skis allows you to enjoy more varied and demanding terrain without losing confidence and a sense of security. The main advantage of Black Crows skis is precisely the ease of skiing and light handling, whether you are an experienced skier or trying ski touring for the first time.

• Rocker on the tip - shortens the ski's contact with the snow - easy turn initiation, easy pivoting.
• Medium flex along the entire length of the ski – forgiving, yet supportive for performance – you can easily and effortlessly direct the ski where you want it without losing technique.
• Flatter tail – longer ski-to-snow contact – for faster and more confident skiing in long turns.
• 19 m radius – ideal radius for freeride, which dynamically shortens – you can easily and quickly change direction while skiing, the ski doesn't buckle on steep slopes and is stable even in long turns.

Mentis Freebird will save you a lot of energy during the most demanding tours

Every extra gram means a more demanding performance. The Mentis Freebird skis, with a weight of 1000 g, will save you energy during the ascent and allow you to enjoy maximum skiing pleasure. The core made of paulownia, titanal, and fiberglass with carbon predestines it for excellent skiing characteristics even on hard and icy snow. During the ascent, thanks to the 80 mm width, it does not create high friction, so you will not sink in soft snow. Find its limits!
