The read

The Corvus is a big-mountain freeride ski built around a 110 mm waist and rocker-camber-rocker profile for float in soft snow with grip underfoot. Its turn radius sits near the top of the freeride cohort, leaning strongly toward long, high-speed arcs, while titanal and above-median weight lean stable and demanding in variable terrain. It suits skiers who charge big lines fast and still want the option to pivot in tight couloirs.

Specs & what they mean

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

Turn & shape

A 25.0-meter radius is a straight-line shape — it resists tight turns and is built to run long and fast, with a moderate taper that keeps the tip planted.

Stability & dampness

A full titanal layup gives it a damp, planted build that holds a line through rough snow and rewards a forward, driving stance. At 2,000 g there's real mass behind the metal to settle it at speed.

Float & width

At 110 mm it's a wide, soft-snow ski built to float and plane more than to carve hardpack. Rocker at tip and tail lets it smear and release easily, while the camber underfoot keeps an edge.
