2025 Black Crows Octo Skis
Brand-new for 2025, the Black Crows Octo is an exceptional carver that takes inspiration from the Mirus Cor to deliver pure on-piste carving performance in a newschool format. A more traditional ski with a modern twist, the Octo makes short turns with a quick and agile nature to get you smiling into and out of every turn. A sturdy tail and stiff flex underfoot allow you to stand on your edges and get creative with not only your turn shapes, but your edge angles as well.
Why we like it:
The Octo provides intermediate and advanced skiers with a ski that is properly shaped and engineered so that they too can access the performance of top end skis. We also enjoy the inspiration of the Octo from the Mirus Cor and its familiarity is welcomed to the realm of a more specific frontside carving.
Who it's for:
Intermediate to advanced skiers who enjoy carving and expressing their carving style in many facets and approaches.
Highlights:
A core made up of poplar and fiberglass laminates give the Octo loads of pop and energy while also dampening vibrations. An aluminum tail insert bolsters the tail of the ski to provide not only stability but a solid platform to push off of when releasing from a turn. ABS sidewalls that taper to cap construction in the tips and tails bolster stiffness and edge grip underfoot while saving weight in the extremities.
Things to consider:
The 2025 Black Crows Octo has a small amount of aluminum in the tail to boost turn release but there is not any other application of metal in the ski. What this means is that advanced and expert skiers looking for the maximum top end of a frontside carving ski in this category will find it lacking somewhat in edge grip and power. But we are fine with that as most people are better off on a ski like this than some of those other iron-clad skis. Better suited for people looking for a quick and agile cruiser who like to get creative with their turn shapes and styles, the Octo stands above the rest in this approach.
Fit & sizing considerations:
Skis true to size. As the Octo is a frontside ski, sizing down slightly is very common.
