Why We Like The Navis Freebird Ski
The Black Crows Navis Freebird Ski is basically a tweaked version of the regular Navis—a reasonably traditional all-mountain charger—that's been lightened up to make the backcountry world our oyster. The poplar and paulownia core lightens this build without taking away from the easily edged and maneuvered shape. This maneuverability is further bolstered by the camber underfoot, rocker in the tip and tail, and stable mid-length turn radius.
