The big mountain weapon of choice for many an elite level freerider, the Black Crows Atris Birdie Skis are back unchanged since last season's move to a 105mm waist, and just as potent when the going gets steep, deep and gnarly. A uniquely versatile shape blends big mountain stability with the option to pivot on a dime (or a centime) when you really need to in tight quarters, which goes a long way to explaining the popularity of the Atris skis. If you haven't tried it, get on an Atris Birdie and see what all the flap is about, you won't be disappointed.
Double Rocker – Great maneuverability, control, and pivot.
Classic Medium Camber – Classic camber underfoot with intermediate ski/ snow contact for a perfect balance between stability and handling.
Flex – Firm and constant flex, a very stable ski.
Slightly Straight Sidecut – More stability at high speed and better balance between firmness and maneuverability.
Progressive Tip Floatation – Great consistency in turns, easy to get off the ground.

The classic Look Pivot 12 GW Ski Bindings are the go-to choice of committed skiers worldwide, and known for their reliability and consistency of release. Look's elasticity is the best in the business, the turntable heel offers bombproof lateral security, and the shortened mounting pattern lets the ski flex as freely as possible. If classic design and superior retention are important to you, the few dollars more you'll spend for the Pivot 12 won't warrant a second thought.
180˚ Multi-Directional Release – A true mechanical upward release that functions independently from the heel for the most effective multi-directional protection in the case of a fall.
Full Action Toe | 45 mm Elasticity – Featuring 45mm of elastic travel and 180⁰ multi-directional release, the Full Action toe piece delivers best-in-class retention and release and increased coupling strength (boot-to-binding interface) for maximum power transmission.
Dual Standard Concept (ISO 5355 Alpine and Gripwalk) – Look strategically reinforced the toe housing, increased the toe ramp, elongated the toe-wings, and created a toe that is compatible with both ISO 5355 Alpine and GripWalk soles.
Toe Lateral Elasticity – 45 mm
Turntable Heel – Look’s unique turntable design rotates directly under the tibia for reduced risk of injury and provides 28mm of elastic travel to deliver unmatched shock absorption for significant reduction of pre-release.
28mm Vertical Elasticity – 28mm of elasticity in the heel (the most of any binding on the market) yields a reduction in unwanted pre-releasing.
Smaller Mounting Zone – The shortest mounting zone of any alpine binding available provides less swing weight, improved response, and a deeper, rounder, more consistent ski flex.
7 Points of Contact – More points-of-contact with the boot results in increased lateral energy transmission, drives more power to the edge of the ski and provides superior control, response, and snow feel.
We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.
