Product Info
A fast and light ski for those who can't afford to give up edgehold and security on the steeps, the Black Crows Vastus Freebird Skis are an alpinist's dream. A superlight balsa-flax core keeps the weight down under 1000 grams per ski, and the 76 mm waist provides enough support to handle a variety of snow conditions. Like most ultra light touring skis, the Vastus Freebird features a long, fully cambered profile to put maximum edge length on the snow - which you'll appreciate come "no fall" time. This season, set your objectives high and bring along the Vastus Freebird plus a few extra bags of fitness, and see what heights you can reach.

Terrain
Alpine Touring Also known as backcountry skis, alpine touring (AT) skis are designed for going uphill as well as downhill. These skis are typically light for their width and many feature fittings that accept climbing skins. AT skis vary in width and weight, with the wider heavier versions usually used for winter/deep snow touring and the skinnier, lighter skis usually used for spring/summer/long distance touring.
- Skis: No Bindings

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
More
Rocker Type
Rocker/Camber Rocker/Camber skis pair a traditional cambered profile underfoot with an elongated, early rise tip borrowed from fully rockered skis. This profile places the front contact point further back from the tip, while the rear contact point remains close to the tail. The rockered tip allows for better flotation and less edge catch for increased float in deep snow, while the cambered rear stores and transmits energy similarly to a fully cambered ski.
