Overview

The 2027 Black Crows Camox Birdie is a women’s all-mountain twin tip for skiers who want one ski for firm groomers, variable snow and playful detours off trail. It carries over for 2026/27, with a 97 mm waist and medium 18 m radius across its four lengths. SkiEssentials’ 2027 testers describe a more powerful, speed-oriented feel than the earlier version: it settles into longer turns and handles crud, but asks for a committed skier to bring it to life.

A poplar core with an ash pocket underfoot and fiberglass forms the platform. The denser ash reinforcement adds a calmer, more supportive center, while the twin-tip shape and double rocker help the ends release when steering or landing switch. Medium camber underfoot keeps snow contact for grip; Black Crows describes its flex as tolerant and progressive. The 97 mm waist adds room in soft snow without turning this into a powder specialist.

Choose it if you ski with intent, like longer arcs and want a stable platform that can still pivot through trees or bumps. Its width makes mixed resort conditions manageable, and the raised tail suits playful skiing. It is less rewarding at low speed than a softer, lighter ski, and its weight and strong center can feel like work for cautious intermediates. For mostly icy groomers or short turns, a narrower frontside model is easier to bend and quicker edge to edge.

Construction & features

What the Camox Birdie is built from, and what that means on snow.

  1. 01

    Poplar core with ash reinforcement

    Black Crows pairs a poplar wood core with an ash pocket beneath the binding area. The denser insert supports the center of the ski and adds a firmer platform underfoot.

  2. 02

    97 mm waist and twin-tip shape

    At 97 mm underfoot, the ski balances groomer edge changes with some extra platform in soft snow. Its raised tail and tip give it a freestyle-derived twin-tip shape.

  3. 03

    Double rocker with medium camber

    Rocker at both ends helps the ski pivot and release; camber underfoot preserves snow contact for grip and support through a turn.

  4. 04

    Progressive flex for mixed terrain

    The manufacturer describes a tolerant, progressive flex. The catalog and independent test indicate a ski that is more composed and powerful at speed than a soft, loose twin tip.

  5. 05

    Flat ski, bindings sold separately

    The 2026/27 workbook lists the ski-only model, without an integrated binding system. Bindings are a separate purchase.
