Manufacturers description
The Ferox was born from the necessity of offering a bi-tip, double rocker, powder type touring ski which is still efficient on the edges. So, the objective is the powder and the sensation of floating on the snow.
But the soul remains alpine to adapt to all conditions encountered while touring. Equipped with a tail tip and a double rocker, this is a ski which offers great sensations in powder with its planing and immediate pivot, but which still sits well on hard snow due to its progressive side-lines. To optimise its weight (3600 g for the 181 cm), the Ferox was conceived on a 3D shape drawn in an H which cuts the upper part of the ski and lightens it without altering its solidity due to a carbon reinforcement which adopts this 3D shape. The core was also made lighter with a mix of paulownia, poplar and, for the first time with black crows, Isocore (a polyurethane mousse strengthened with continuous glass fibre).

Strengths:
All round amazeballs.
Weaknesses:
You are their only weakness. And maybe they’re boring to look at. If I have to have problems I can live with these.
Summary:
I’ve skied black crows for a few seasons now. Atris. Navis and whatever the red free bird was. This has all the down hill go of the Atris and won’t kill you on the climb. Think I’m on ‘21/22s. Whatever the grey/silver ones are.
Model year: 2022
Riding style: Mountain Jedi style
Length on the ski: 186 cm
Riders weight: 90 kg
Riders length: 186 cm

Strengths:
Weight, playfulness, responsive, stable at speeds
Weaknesses:
on the soft side for an all-round one-quiver ski, but its a small price to pay for such a great ski.
Summary:
I love this ski and its now my go-to back country touring ski. I would go for something lighter for multi-day touring but anything where I'm wanting to go powder sniffing or couloir charging, this is the ski to do it on.
