The 2026 Black Crows Atris Birdie continues its legacy as a versatile big-mountain ski, designed for women who seek performance across diverse conditions. With a 105 mm waist and a 19-meter turn radius, it offers a balance between floatation in powder and stability on firmer snow. Its construction features a poplar wood core reinforced with fiberglass, providing a responsive yet forgiving flex.

Why we like it:

The Atris Birdie stands out for its adaptability, offering a smooth ride in powder while maintaining control on groomed runs. Tip and tail rocker enhances maneuverability, making it a reliable choice for varied terrain. Its sturdy flex pattern provides power and stability for high-speed descents and in variable snow.

Who it's for:

Ideal for advanced to expert female skiers who desire a freeride one-ski quiver capable of handling everything from deep powder days to mixed snow conditions. Its design caters to those who appreciate a ski that responds well to both aggressive and relaxed skiing styles.

Highlights:

The ski's semi-cap construction with ABS sidewalls ensures durability and edge grip. The classic medium camber underfoot provides stability, while the double rocker enhances pivot and control. Its long turn radius contributes to high-speed stability, and the progressive tip floatation aids in smooth turn initiation.

Things to consider:

While the Atris Birdie excels in versatility, skiers may find that it’s long turning radius makes them difficult to carve when on more narrow trails. These skis truly come alive in soft snow whether it be powder or chopped up snow, firmer snow conditions like ice are not the Atris Birdie’s strong suit.

Fit & sizing considerations:

Skis true to size. Skiers seeking agility may opt for shorter lengths, while those desiring increased stability at speed can choose longer sizes.
