Corvus | 2026

First launched in 2007, the Corvus stands as Blackcrows’ original model and has cultivated a devoted following worldwide. Positioned as the second widest option in the brand’s big-mountain lineup, the 2026 version carries forward unchanged from last year except for refreshed topsheet graphics.

The Corvus has surprising versatility for a 110 mm powder ski with a 25-meter turn radius. The ski’s pronounced tip and tail rocker allow effortless pivoting when you adopt a neutral stance, making it remarkably maneuverable in terrain that typically challenges wide skis. A sheet of metal running through the core and traditional camber underfoot provides confidence at speed and rewards aggressive skiing. This dual personality sets the Corvus apart from more one-dimensional powder tools.

As expected, the Corvus excels in deep snow and open bowls where its early-rise rocker profile provides excellent floatation. The ski feels at home carving long-radius turns down wide-open faces or navigating tighter tree runs where it’s surprisingly maneuverable. Its versatile character lets you seamlessly transition between charging hard and schmearing turns as terrain dictates. While it won’t be mistaken for a frontside carver, the Corvus maintains enough stability and responsiveness to link confident turns on groomers between powder runs.

The Corvus isn’t just a surfy powder ski—it wants to be driven with speed and likes to hunt natural features. Some skiers seeking maximum float in the deepest conditions might prefer a lighter, more rockered option. But for those who want a powder ski that can handle mixed conditions and varied terrain, the Corvus delivers. This combination of dampness, directional stability and deep-snow prowess makes it ideal for aggressive big-mountain skiers who want more than just float.
