The Black Crows Atris Birdie 2018 is an extremely fun ski, which scored highly in our testing and will definitely make a lot of female skiers very happy this coming season.

The female option of the ever-popular Black Crows Atris, this ski is sure to be a hit on the mountain this winter. Versatile, responsive and great off the piste, it is an excellent choice for the more advanced skier looking for a very good time all across the mountain.

With a wide, 108mm waist, the Black Crows Atris Birdie ski really shines in powder. A double rocker means it floats well across the soft snow, with a lovely buoyancy that comes easily into play when needed. The nice light feel in the top and tail also allows you to whip the ski around very quickly and with great agility.

This quick responsiveness is highly impressive and leaves you feeling confident that it will always be able to get you out of any tight spots.

The Atris Birdie’s energy is infectious; on this ski you truly feel that you can charge from morning until night, enjoying your last runs just as much as your first.

Its versatility also needs a mention. While it is definitely in its element off piste, the Atris Birdie is still strong enough under foot to give you a smooth ride on piste. The edge hold is good enough to keep you feeling comfortable even at the highest speeds so you can really concentrate on those skills of yours.
