Black Crows Orb (2011)

Ski touring and mountaineering are
inseparable practices of the Black Crows
identity. The Orb mirrors the vertical
dimension which is part of our daily practice
in Chamonix. The Orb has been totally
reworked into a new version to improve
its ascensionist characteristics. Therefore, it’s
considerably lighter, the Orb 179 has become
one of the most technical skis in its category.
Lightened for greater efficiency on the ascent,
its construction, its side walls and its new
flex correspond to downhill requirements,
including the steepest faces. Tenacious, agile
and precise, its presence underfoot respects
the line of the curve. Now also available in
168, the Orb may become your everyday ski, a
special partner in many disciplines. All terrain,
ski touring, downhill, powder and naturally on
steep faces and couloirs.... The Orb is a key
to the other side, to seek a little further, where
the call of the mountain echoes.
