The Black Crows Anima Skis are a playful charger, built for crushing high consequence lines and having fun doing it. With a wide waist and a sturdy flex, these skis stayed dialed in at the most maniac speeds. They excel in any soft snow conditions, from untouched pow to tracked out crud. They love to attack the fall line, but thanks to deep rocker in the tip and tail and a dose of camber underfoot, they can pivot, pop, and smear around with the best of them. The Animas have gotten an update this year, stiffening up the flex in the tip and tails and tweaking the sidecut with the aim of making these already rippin' sticks even more stable at high speed and on the hardpack.
