Armada Declivity X vs Black Crows Corvus Freebird

Without further ado, the best person to take you through the Declivity X is the person that created this model. So yeah, I work on this project for tw...

This is just the place that I was skiing them, so I'm going to speak to these from that perspective. Just so you know, I'm not sponsored by Black Crow...

The flex pattern and shape is closer to the 120 so it definitely carries that surfy playful feel from its larger brother. I'd say the 110 is definitely more suitable for someone riding on the west coast where the conditions are always changing but you can still rip it all over if you wanted to.

For my riding style these skis were, simply put, too light and lacked the power I need, however, if you're looking for a Rockies one ski quiver that is SUPER playful, these are the skis for you. Get them before they sell out!!

Now, take that and reapply it to a touring ski. This is much, much lighter. We get a blend of materials in here, poplar, carbon fiber, and there's act...

And then in the shovel, pretty similar to what we see in the Alpine version, and that's just going to help you stay on top of anything that you find o...
