The Camox Freebird Ski sheds weight without losing its sense of fun
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"I put the Camox Freebird Ski through a long approach with a few thousand feet of climbing before a mixed bag descent of wind crust and soft pockets. It handled the transitions between snow types without ever feeling harsh, and the included skins tracked straight the entire way up."
Some days in the backcountry ask for a ski that doesn't take sides, one that's just as happy grinding out a long approach as it is playing around on the way back down. Black Crows built the Camox Freebird Ski around exactly that kind of balance, refining the tip and widening the waist to 97mm so it floats through soft snow without giving up the quick, reactive feel that makes it fun to ski. A tighter sidecut radius makes weight transfers feel lively, so linking turns through variable snow never feels like a chore.
Every gram on this ski earns its place. A full paulownia core, the lightest option in the Black Crows touring lineup, keeps the swing weight low on long climbs, while carbon and fiberglass laminates layer in torsional stiffness without adding bulk. A titanal plate under the binding zone handles the stresses of a hybrid touring setup, and a semi-cap build with a partial cap tip shaves even more weight where the ski needs it least. The matched Pilus skins round out the package, sized and ready to climb the moment you open the box.

Black Crows For the Joy of the Turn
Black Crows was founded in 2006 in Chamonix by pro skiers Bruno Compagnet and Camille Jaccoux, who set out to build the freeride ski they couldn’t find. Their first model, the Corvus, charged steep alpine faces with power and playfulness. Today, the brand blends French style, clean design, and a love of skiing to inspire confidence and joy on snow.
Phantom Glide By DPS Skis
This ski is compatible with Phantom Glide, the long-lasting base treatment from DPS Skis. Backcountry technicians apply and UV-cure it before the skis ship, so they arrive ready to ride with no waxing needed.
How It Works
Applied By Backcountry Techs
Backcountry technicians treat and UV-cure every pair in the shop before it leaves the warehouse, so the skis arrive ready to ride with no setup required.
Glide That Outlasts Wax
Wax sits on top of the base and wears off in a few days. Phantom Glide bonds into the base, so glide stays fast and consistent from cold powder to spring slush.
No More Wax Days
Phantom Glide replaces scraping, ironing, and shop visits with a quick base cleaning using the Phantom Glide Base Care Kit. The formula is made without PFAS.
Mounted And Ready To Go
When skis, bindings, and boots are purchased together, a Gearhead Expert mounts the bindings before the order ships.
Ski Mounting Now Available

- Skip the shop wait: skis ship fully mounted.
