The read

The Captis Birdie is a women's frontside all-mountain ski built for groomed terrain with all-condition versatility. Its 90mm waist sits near the middle of the all-mountain cohort, its long-radius sidecut favors sweeping arcs, and its light weight makes it notably quick and easy to flex compared to most all-mountain skis in the catalog. A rocker-camber-rocker profile and poplar-fiberglass construction without metal suit skiers who want an accessible, playful ride on and around the groomed.

Specs & what they mean

What the Captis Birdie's numbers add up to, as a model — the three things that define how it skis.

Turn & shape

A 18.0-meter radius draws medium-to-long turns and holds a line through them; a moderate taper keeps entry manageable without giving up much grip mid-arc.

Stability & dampness

Built without metal on a poplar wood core, it's lighter and livelier underfoot — easy to release from a turn and quick edge to edge. At 1,625 g it stays light and maneuverable.

Float & width

At 90 mm it's a balanced all-mountain width — real float for soft snow without giving up much hardpack quickness. Rocker at tip and tail lets it smear and release easily, while the camber underfoot keeps an edge.
