Manufacturers description
This iconic model of Black Crows, the corvus remains the guardian of the nest with its alpine DNA combined to a reverse camber.
Aimed at freeride, the corvus has a very good pivot thanks to its reverse camber and a very strong grip on the hard pack snow thanks to a flat underfoot segment and a double titanal plate. The ski is powerful and grips the ground well. Battle-ready as ever, the corvus with its balance offers greater confidence on all types of terrain.

Strengths:
Stable
Weaknesses:
hard
Summary:
Foolishly high-speed skiing, rock hard, good ice grip, super stable at high speed and that's when it's doing the best. A ski that requires an aggressive rider who dares to press. I would need 10 kg in addition to my 75 boilers to get out of the ski's potential. No playful ski, but a fun ski that does it in terms of stability. Strong 4 in grades.

Strengths:
Stability, edge grip (also works well in the piste), a ski to rely on. The steeper and worse conditions, and the more aggressive you drive, the better for Corvus. Would like to give 5 stars for this but draw 1 star for missing short-range / play unit.
Weaknesses:
Also feels big and heavy. Slow from edge to edge. Heavy to pull in short turns. Not playful. Must stand forwards and over skis, otherwise you will be punished.
Summary:
Fantastic big mountain skiing, full to rely on in difficult conditions and high speed.

Strengths:
Stable in high speed, good grip, works well even in piste, carvar like a grand slalom ski. Best in the snow, burned.
Weaknesses:
Nothing for beginners.
Summary:
A ski like it took me 1 season to love - make sure to mount the tie -2cm (further front). First rides are the skis that run, then when you are aggressive you love them.

Strengths:
Works for everything !! light, fast, drive over all roughnesses, good in pillows, speedboat, good at piste !!
Weaknesses:
Ugly (if anyone cares?) Otherwise it's hard to find something bad, maybe not a direct beginner skid, should be able to get basic techniques to get out of the skid.
Summary:
Canoeing to everything, can definitely imagine a couple to next year !!

Strengths:
Slightly tall and wide so you get a few square inches to stand on. Works well in untouched loose snow, which most ski alternatively plank makes in my opinion. Not at all sensitive to more "touched" loose snow or a little gamma loose snow, which is not stupid, feels stable, does not track away but goes wherever you want, just fine with a little windy half-cut snow.
Pist works well too, has a lot more edge grip on ice than many other wider skis I tested, it's probably because the skis are a bit harder in the buckle and soften against the nose and back. Good with straight cut nose and back, you do not hook in as easily. Does not seem to impact negatively at all, as it said a skid of almost 2 meters, which is roughly a decimeter wide, gives a little and stands on.
Weaknesses:
Well, I'm quite happy with this, but I would not have been able to reach a slower radius, if you're on the go, it's going to be a little steeper after a while. However, a tighter radius may have a negative impact on stability.
Summary:
I think this is the best allround ski i tried. I mean you can always dream that you only go in untouched snowflakes, but it's not, either, it's a bad sight and you have to take some piss, or some old snow, or you're going to run into something like is 4 meters wide, 200 meters long and uphill, then it's nice to have a bit of bite in the steel edges.

Strengths:
Good big-mountain ski that jets mountains. Has a clever cut, where the waist does not start straight from the tip, but the skis are "straight" in the cutting first bit, then the waist comes, the same in the back. This gives a tighter waist and a lot more sloping radius. Despite its length, the skis are very mercury-blown. That the ski is so long gives it a good load of pads. They are quite soft in the boards (tips up), which means that you do not have to hang behind to drive in pillows without the tips pointing. Seems to have hard coat and steel edges, because I have dusted in part, but it has only become a small problem. The skis look different with their hard graphic style, and neon colors. I like them as the stage, and intend to keep them until next winter. Otherwise, I usually change every year.
Weaknesses:
The length makes them a bit clumsy when you step through the forest paths, which is not quite unusual as the end of long offpiste in the alps. The overcoat may break up slightly when the steel edges enter, only cosmetically. There are two variants, which are 10 and 20 cm shorter, they may be good for lighter riders.
Summary:
Cannon skis with perfect measurements. The smart waist makes them rap in the piste, the ice grip is good and they work well in pillows.
I'm 183 cm, weighs 85 kilos, can handle most and drive fast.
