Story & heritage

Orb Freebird belongs to blackcrows’ Freebird touring language, a line the brand history identifies as launched in 2012 for ski touring.

Dressed in its famous one-piece fluorescent yellow, the Orb Freebird is a reference in ski touring. Designed with a light and progressive rocker lift that gives it a strong base and a very secure grip, it is the perfect companion for stylish vertical odysseys. Cut for the mountain with a 90mm waist width, light and with a very good skiability, it is the accomplice of all the adventures, including the most radical.

Materials & craft

The official help center states that blackcrows resort, all-terrain and big-mountain skis use a poplar wood core with mixed fiberglass, while the Freebird series uses a lighter paulownia wood core with carbon fiber and fiberglass.

How to choose & style

Choose Orb Freebird when you want the blackcrows look in a technical touring role: graphic, mountain-first and easier to style with pared-back technical layers than with loud resort logos.

For a coherent kit, pair the skis with neutral shells, one high-saturation blackcrows accent and understated accessories so the product graphic stays the visual focus.
