Black Crows Vertis Birdie 2018 Ski Review

Retaining all the elements that make the men’s model so popular, the Black Crows Vertis Birdie 2018 is an all mountain ski designed for women who want a quick, confident and responsive ski.

If you like keeping up with the boys and you want a dependable charger that will not let you down, then this is definitely it.

Although it is extremely versatile, the Vertis Birdie is truly in its element on-piste. Quick, light and very responsive it brings a lot of fun to groomed slopes.

The ski is also incredibly stable, which is helpful for those wanting to improve their technique across conditions, particularly on hard snow.  The 85mm waist and 15m turn radius make it a lot of fun on the tough stuff.

Lay it over on an edge and you get precision arcs that will not chatter or flap in any way.

Throw in a few short turns and this ski will do that too! Light and nimble, the poplar wood core makes the Black Crows Vertis Birdie hugely playful. It is a lot of fun to ride, no matter the conditions.

Its agility is enhanced by the light tip rocker, which also allows for smooth gliding across powder if you do fancy a bit of off piste.

The Black Crows Vertis Birdie 2018 is a great performance all mountain ski that will never let you down. Wherever you take it on the mountain, it will give you the stability and manoeuvrability to keep you skiing to the top of your abilities.
