What the model says

Carve radius, to scale

  • Sidecut radius: 25 m (est.)
  • Carve radius at 30° edge: 21.7 m (est.)
  • Carve radius at 45° edge: 17.7 m (est.)
All three drawn on one scale, from the same starting point. A smaller arc is a tighter turn.

Edge hold and float

  • Edge hold: 83%, On the limit (est.)
  • Float: 97%, Floats well (est.)
Ticks mark where the word changes. For 90 kg at 176.3 cm: hold on groomed snow, float in powder. Model figures, not measurements.

These are the model’s numbers, not measurements. Carve radius comes from the sidecut, so it does not change with weight; edge hold and float do. Some geometry is not published, so the all-mountain default stood in (est.).

By ability

The Black Crows Corvus at 176.3 cm for a 90 kg skier on groomed snow. Reviewers are mostly experts, so read the left of each band for what most skiers get.

Edge hold

On firm snow, 176.3 cm
  • First-timer: slides (16%)
  • Beginner: slides (34%)
  • Intermediate: slides (58%), assumed level
  • Advanced: on the limit (79%)
  • Expert: on the limit (83%)
assumed intermediate: slides (58%)

Float

In soft snow
  • First-timer: floats well (75%)
  • Beginner: floats well (79%)
  • Intermediate: floats well (84%), assumed level
  • Advanced: floats well (90%)
  • Expert: floats well (97%)
assumed intermediate: floats well (84%)

Ease

How forgiving it is
  • First-timer: manageable (56%)
  • Beginner: easy (100%)
  • Intermediate: easy (100%), assumed level
  • Advanced: easy (80%)
  • Expert: manageable (71%)
assumed intermediate: easy (100%)
Estimated: some of this ski’s geometry is not published, or was read from another model’s page, so treat these numbers as approximate.

Our model, run with working assumptions about how each level skis (edge angle, speed, how much weight reaches the edge). Not measurements. The marked cell assumes an intermediate skier; compare with your own details to see your own level.

    Black Crows Corvus 2026 Ski Review

    aussieskier.com · 5 May 2026

    The tester reviews the Black Crows Corvus, noting it as a dedicated freeride charging ski. Built with ample stiffness and stability to handle high speeds and firmer snow, it still focuses primarily on soft snow performance. While not exceptionally floaty compared to wider powder options, it is relatively light for its class, making it viable for 50/50 resort and touring setups for aggressive skiers pushing their limits.

    2026 Black Crows Corvus - SkiEssentials Ski Test Review

    SkiEssentials · 8 Aug 2025 · 186 cm tested

    The presenter examines the redesigned Black Crows Corvus, highlighting how it retains its high-speed big mountain performance while becoming more approachable and maneuverable than the previous version. Featuring camber underfoot, a poplar/beech core, and a touch of titanal, it offers strong stability and dampening without being overly planky. Although quicker in tight terrain, its 110 mm waist and 25-meter radius keep it best suited for aggressive skiers and open mountain lines.
