Black Crows
Octo
Description
The Black Crows Octo is the innovative model in the Octo series, designed for piste enthusiasts seeking sharp turns, playful agility, and versatile performance on hard snow. Featuring a distinctive swallowtail shape, short turning radius, and light front rocker with classic camber, this ski delivers a dynamic ride with quick edge-to-edge transitions and a balance between stability and fun — ideal for aggressive carves and light off-piste excursions.
With the Octo, we want to take our exploration of on-piste and piste-side skiing a step further, by disrupting the way it's done, to enhance the skier's enjoyment of the sport. The aim is to mix angular curves with newschool-inspired ease. The Octo is also a UFO for carving, and will appeal to fanatics and novices alike. The swallowtail is there again, for style. Smile on to the next turn.
Target Audience: This ski is intended for advanced to expert piste skiers who enjoy creative lines on groomers and piste-side, preferring lightweight, agile skis that combine energy and precision in resort conditions.
