Black Crows Sato Birdie — topsheet
The read

This frontside-leaning all-mountain ski targets groomed slopes with excursions into varied terrain, backed by a rocker-camber-rocker profile that aids turn initiation and pivot control. Its turn radius sits toward the longer end of the all-mountain cohort, favoring medium-to-large arcs, while its notably light weight makes it quick and easy underfoot. The progressive, tolerant flex and lively character suit skiers who want a nimble, playful ride on and around the piste.

Specs & what they mean

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

Turn & shape

A 17.0-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, it's lighter and livelier underfoot — easy to release from a turn and quick edge to edge. At 1,575 g it's a genuinely light ski, nimble and easy to move around.

Float & width

At 88 mm it's an all-rounder leaning toward firm snow — enough width for soft conditions, still quick on edge. Rocker at tip and tail lets it smear and release easily, while the camber underfoot keeps an edge.
