Brand new to Blackcrows' family, the Vena Cor features an eye-catching swallowtail shape and serves as the more versatile, wider sibling to the Mirus Cor. Much like the Mirus, the Vena offers a tight turn radius and a soft flex, providing the ideal platform for a freestyle skier who loves a snappy and energetic personality.
A wood and fiberglass core, reinforced with full-length carbon strips, squarely plants this ski in the softer end of the flex spectrum. The Vena can be rolled into medium- to short-radius carves, but with a little bit of gusto, it can just as easily be thrown sideways into slashes and smeared turns. The flex and twin rocker profile make this an ideal soft-snow machine, from silky turns in a few inches of fresh to spring corn laps.
When conditions get a bit deeper, the Vena performs remarkably well for a ski in the 100-mm category. The beautifully buoyant shovel tip is pleasantly proficient at floating through fresh snow.
Skiers looking to rip short turns, cruise their way down the mountain and end the day with a few laps through the park will love the new Vena Cor. There are plenty of soft-flexing, playful all-mountain skis in the 100-mm category, but few combine carving performance, versatility and surfiness quite like the Vena. It's wildly fun and prompts you to find a new side hit every lap.
