The Mentis Freebird is a unisex touring ski from Black Crows, and is part of the brand's touring range.
The Mentis, which completes the Black Crows Freebird range, is a ski for demanding tourers looking for lightness and agility.
It features a narrow skate coupled with a classic camber for good grip on hard snow, like an alpine ski. It retains a front rocker to provide pivot and lift when the snow is softer. The flex is intermediate throughout the length of the ski for a compromise between performance and forgiveness
The ski has a classic Black Crows construction with a lightweight paulownia core, combined with fibreglass and carbon fibre. As a result, the Mentis Freebird only weighs 2000g. for great performance when climbing; a true sport touring ski for long runs or steep outings. A Titanal reinforcement under the foot allows for increased stability and binding durability.
Ultra-light and manoeuverable, the Mentis Freebird excels in both ascents and descents. Its long radius gives it a good, reassuring grip in steep passages and its rocker makes it comfortable in powder. The great ease-of-steering on piste and off, hard snow or powder, make this the ideal companion for those wanting a grippy ski that is always ready to head off for distant horizons.
Thus, the Mentis Freebird is a ski of choice for those who love spending time in the mountains, with a ski that will overcome all conditions
