        Black Crows Anima 2026 Ski Review

        aussieskier.com · 5 May 2026

        The 2026 Black Crows Anima is updated to be lighter and slightly more accessible than the previous iteration, though it remains a powerful, fast-charging powder ski. Designed for aggressive experts skiing hard in deep snow and chop, it tracks remarkably well through tracked-out conditions while still offering solid edge grip over scraped icy patches. It excels when skied fast and actively supports landing switch.

        2026 Black Crows Anima - SkiEssentials Ski Test Review

        SkiEssentials · 8 Aug 2025 · 182 cm tested

        The Black Crows Anima is an aggressive, stiff big-mountain ski with a playful freeride profile. Featuring a 115 mm waist, substantial weight, and stiff camber, it demands strong technique and power. When driven hard at high speeds, it charges confidently through wide-open turns and soft snow, though its stoutness makes tight or technical maneuvers demanding.
