Often imitated, but never replicated, the Black Crows Corvus Freebird Skis are an OG all dressed in pink. These skis are standard-setting backcountry freeriders, with a sturdy waist width, a traditional directional cambered design, and a powerful ride. They're lightweight enough for full-on touring missions, but optimized to perform on the way down, offering bomber suspension the likes of which you wouldn't be upset to find on a dedicated inbounds ski. Equipped with titanal binding plates, the pink crows are built with heavy duty hybrid bindings in mind. Set them up with some Kingpins or the like, and go jump off something for crying out loud!

When the Salomon S/Lab Shift MNC 13 Alpine Touring Ski Bindings first dropped, they represented a quantum leap forward in freeride binding design. Combining the smooth uphill performance of pin technology with the added safety, reliability, and power transfer of fully DIN certified release, they're a fantastic choice for skiers looking to service both resort and backcountry riding on a single setup. MNC compatibility means they play nice with almost every boot in the known universe - a comforting notion given the dizzying array of options. For backcountry beginners and grizzled vets alike, the Salomon S/Lab Shift MNC 13 Alpine Touring Ski Bindings are in a class of their own.
