Black Crows Octo Skis carve fast lines with playful flair and a swallowtail twist
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"I was surprised by how intuitive the Octo felt on edge. That short turning radius and swallowtail design make carving feel creative and fun. It’s light, responsive, and perfect for lapping groomers when you want something quick and a little unconventional."
The Black Crows Octo Skis put a creative spin on high-performance carving. Designed with a playful swallowtail silhouette and a snappy 84mm waist, these skis transform ordinary corduroy into a dynamic playground. Ideal for those who appreciate precision but crave something with more personality, the Octo delivers a responsive ride that stays smooth and stable at speed.
Underfoot, a classic camber profile offers consistent edge hold, while a light front rocker encourages quick turn initiation and pivot control. The poplar and fiberglass core keeps things lively, and a very short sidecut radius brings razor-sharp agility to tight arcs and short-radius turns. Finished with a semi-cap construction and ABS sidewalls for durability, the Octo is our go-to for skiers chasing energy, edge-to-edge speed, and standout design on frontside terrain.

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.
