Poster: A snowHead
|
Looking at either the Atris or Corvus. Does anyone know how black Crows measure their skis? Is it length before or after pressing (most companies do before and so the actual tip to tail measurement as a straight pull is normally a couple of cm less than the quoted length).
Normally go for something ~178 in length.
Atris I'd go for the 178
Corvus - 175 or 183... depending on how they measure I could go either way...
Also, anyone skied either / both and care to offer thoughts on the differences - are the Corvus just tanks or do they have a playful side?

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

@BenA, Drop them an email. I spoke to one of the main guys at a trade show and was impressed with their realism. They will help.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Never measured mine but the lastest version is rockered so will ski shorter. If in doubt go longer.

Ski'd the Corvus in 175 and absolutely loved them - I'm about 110kg and felt I should have gone longer though. They were very playful and forgiving in anything soft but reasonably hard work on groomed pistes - but only so much as to keep you honest! BUT it was 3 or 4 years ago now and their design has changed, they have more rocker and a deeper sidecut now IIRC. If/when I have the cash they'll be my ski.

Can't get any response from Black crows at all via email (?)
Did manage to measure the length of the Atris 178 (Tip to tail is 176) and and the Navis 179 (Tip to tail is 178).
Anyone got any idea on weights for the Corvus in a 175? The interweb is all over the place with figures from 4kg to 4.5kg. I'm not a weight weenie but I will do some touring on these and don't want to be lugging 4.5kg skis around...
