Black Crows Anima Skis 2018
Watch some of Kristofer Turdell's skiing on the Freeride World Tour and you quickly get a sense of what the Black Crows Anima Skis are all about. Full on fall line charging with enormous consequences are where this ski really shines, but even if you choose to dial it back a little they will still make a better and more confident skier out of you. A powder ski with split second response and rock solid hard snow manners used to be a daydream; no longer is this true. Step in to the Black Crows Anima this season and hold on to your chapeau.

Terrain:
Big Mountain, Powder

Terrain
Big Mountain Big mountain skis are designed for charging big lines with high speeds and big airs. These skis varry in width from wide, powder-oriented skis for skiing Alaska spines to narrower, mixed condition skis for ripping the beat up headwall at your local mountain. Skis in this category tend to be on the stiffer side, often with more rocker in the tip and less in the tail. Powder These skis are for the deep days. If you like to find powder stashes at your local resort, go on backcountry missions for the freshest of fresh or heli ski trips to BC, powder skis are what you need to stay afloat. Skis in the powder category are wide and most often have some form of rocker or early rise plus a relatively soft flex. Many powder skis today are versatile enough to handle mixed conditions and harder snow.

Ability Level
Advanced-Expert Whether you charge the steepest lines, hit the biggest jumps in the park or carve with race-like precision, advanced to expert level skis, snowboards, boots and bindings are for the more aggressive rider. In skis and snowboards, you'll often find layers of metal, carbon or other stringers for rigidity and power, while advanced to expert level boots and bindings are usually on the stiffer side of the spectrum for rebound and precision steering.

Rocker Type:
Rocker/Camber/Rocker
More
Rocker Type
Rocker/Camber/Rocker Rocker/Camber/Rocker skis have the playfulness and float of a rockered ski as well as the added edge hold of a cambered ski. The contact points on skis with this profile are closer towards the middle of the ski than a fully cambered ski, but still not underfoot. The cambered midsection provides a longer effective edge on hardpack, increasing edge hold and stability, while the rockered tip and tail provide floatation in deeper snow and allow the ski to initiate and release from turns easier.

- Core/Laminates: Aramid (Kevlar®), Carbon, Wood

Tail Type:
Partial Twin Tip
More
Tail Type
Partial Twin Tip Partial twin tip skis have a tail that is turned up, but not as much as the tip. This gives you the ability to ski backwards and back out of tight spaces, but these skis are mainly designed to ski forward.

Salomon STH2 16 WTR Ski Bindings 2018
If you're looking to grip and rip with the best of them, don't scrimp when it comes to bindings. Sure, you might have the baddest, stiffest skis on the market, but those six year-old 12 DIN bindings are rattly and won't keep you locked in. Remember the last time you tried to break the tails loose at high speed and all of a sudden your downhill ski took off in front of you? Step into the Salomon STH2 WTR 16 Bindings, and kiss those pre-releasing, embarrassing tomahawking days goodbye. Rail turns, slash windlips, and take airs with total confidence. With the STH2 WTR 16, you won't be able to blame that shoe-kicking show you put on for the crew on your bindings.
