Black Crows Orb Birdie
Back again this winter, the slimline Black Crows Orb Birdie may be pitched at female ‘piste’ skiers, but we’re still sticking it in our all-mountain category as we found this ski executed tidy, agile turns in all conditions.
The Black Crows Orb Birdie has a pretty substantial 19m radius in the 164.4cm length, meaning tester Amy felt right at home making wide swooping GS-style turns all over the mountain.
“This ski did everything I asked it to and it did it all with minimal effort,” she said. “It may be overpowered by an aggressive skier looking for a more traditional racey ski, but for intermediate, aspirational females looking to expand their horizons and explore beyond the piste, the Orb Birdie is an excellent crossover choice.”
Verdict
Ideal for intermediate, aspirational females looking to expand their horizons and explore beyond the piste.
