Hard to miss in the field due to the brilliant pink topsheets, the Black Crows Corvus Freebird Skis also stand out when it comes time to ski down. Unlike the regular Corvus, which went full reverse camber last season, the Corvus Freebird retains the rocker - camber - rocker profile for a more precise feel on steep and challenging backcountry descents. A ligher Paulownia and Poplar core and more carbon fiber in the layup bring the weight down to 1800 grams per ski in a 175.1. A top choice for freeride touring addicts who don't want to sacrifice downhill performance in their touring ski.
Progressive Tip Rise – Good consistency during the turn and easy float.
Long Classic Camber – Large snow/ski contact for carving alpine style turns.
Slightly Raised Tail – Soft turn finish and practical when touring, putting on skins and sticking skis in the snow.

As you develop as a skier, pushing harder and skiing faster, you find out that pre-release can be just as dangerous as failure to release. Performance, light weight, and reliability are what have made the Griffon evo's most popular alpine binding over the years and the new Marker Griffon 13 ID Ski Bindings maintain that tradition. The Griffon ID introduces a new AFD (Anti-Friction Device) with a greater adjustment range, meant to function equally well with either Alpine ISO 5355 or Touring ISO 9523 soles.
Triple Pivot Elite Toe – Toe construction with impressive retention when freeriding. The spring in the toe is inserted horizontally and with a sole plate inclined by 5° it provides the highest energy absorption so as to reduce the risk of early release. The large supporting surface optimizes the power transmission and allows for great stresses and strains. In relation to their weight, toes with this technology therefore achieve a never-seen-before performance.
AFD Gliding Plate – All Marker bindings (except the Jester Pro) are equipped with a moveable AFD (Anti Friction Device), allowing a precise release unhindered by dirt, snow, and ice buildup. The type of AFD is matched to the skier type, ensuring perfect functionality from racing to junior and even alpine touring.
Sole.ID – Marker Sole.ID allows Marker Authorized Retailers to adjust Sole ID equipped bindings to every type of adult ski boot sole, from ISO 5355 Alpine to ISO 9523 Touring, with a height adjustable gliding plate (AFD).
Inter Pivot Heel – The stunning heel construction delivers superior holding power for freeriding. The Inter Pivot Heel directs the power forces in the angle of elasticity improving the holding power and reducing pre-releases.
