Blackcrows Atris Birdie | 2024

Not every ski can remain relevant a decade after its inception, but the Atris Birdie from Blackcrows is not every ski. The Atris Birdie features a poplar and fiberglass core for a lightweight yet sturdy feel underfoot, while a double rocker profile creates a maneuverable ski that’s easy to pivot and control. The mid-fat waist is just wide enough to maintain float in the fresh while a straighter sidecut ensures balance between soft and hardpack snow. All of our testers agreed the Atris Birdie is an ideal ski to kill a quiver but also noted it skis a bit shorter, which means sizing up may be a good idea. “The Atris Birdie is a gal’s best friend,” says Michelle Cox. “The dampness of the tip absorbs crud, and the 105-mm waist provides enough float for a big day but still will get you to and from the stash on the groomers. Put them on and sendr’.”
