Black Crows Nocta Skis 2018
The Black Crows Nocta Skis are ultra wide, fully reverse cambered, and totally defy expectations. They float like the devil, to be sure, but the Noctas deliver a level of precision and quickness that's rare in a ski over 120 mm, especially one without camber. This might not be the ski for every day use, unless your job happens to be an Alaskan heli guide, but for those 2 foot+ days when the stoke is off the charts, there isn't a better choice.

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

Rocker Type
Rocker Rocker (also called reverse-camber) is just as it sounds – camber turned upside down. Rocker skis have a side profile with a smooth downward curvature and a contact point at the middle of the ski. Rocker skis excel in deep powder. This profile provides the skis with less tip and tail hang up to prevent from catching edges and allows the skis to initiate turns extremely quickly. This profile doesn’t perform as well in icy conditions or on harder snow but if you spend lots of time in deep, untracked snow and like a more playful ski, Rocker is a great choice.

Full Twin Tip

Tail Type
Full Twin Tip Desinged to allow you to ski backwards, full twin tips are found primarily on park & pipe skis and freestyle powder skis. More and more, we are seeing twin tips on all-mountain skis of all abilities, as it makes it a little easier to get around, and for the most part does not inhibit forward skiing.

Look Pivot 14 Dual WTR Ski Bindings 2018
There's little argument among top skiers that the Look Pivot bindings provide the best elasticity and safety margin in the industry, and the Look Pivot 14 Dual WTR Ski Bindings deliver both in spades, along with dual compatibility for both ISO Alpine and WTR rockered boot soles. If you crave the performance and security of the Pivot but simply cannot justify the Pivot 18, the Look Pivot 14 Dual WTR Ski Bindings are for you.
Product Details
Toe Piece
180˚ Multi-Directional Release – A true mechanical upward release that functions independently from the heel for the most effective multi-directional protection in the case of a fall.
Toe Lateral Elasticity – 45 mm
Dual Standard Concept – Look strategically reinforced the toe housing, increased the toe ramp, elongated the toe-wings, and created a toe that is compatible with both ISO 5355 Alpine soles and WTR (Walk-to-Ride) rockered soles.
Heel Piece
Heel Vertical Elasticity – 28 mm
7 Points of Contact – More points of contact with the boot results in superior lateral energy transmission with better response, control and snow feel.
Turntable Heel – Look's unique turntable heel design provides shock absorption and unmatched smoothness and consistency for lateral release.
Additional Features
Short Mounting Zone – Placing the heel screws under the boot sole shortens the mount zone considerably, letting the ski flex more naturally.
Ramp° – 0.2°
Ski Compatibility
We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.
