I initially felt that with center mounted with the Animas, but I found when I skied lower with a more cross-under race style transitions, I could stay centered and use dolphin turn techniques to...

I added to my Crows quiver after coming across a sweetheart of a deal on some Mirus Cor demos. I figure I can easily unload them if I don’t like. Took them out today for the first time while coaching...

I got my kid some used demo skis with the Strive demos on it. It’s low. I remember reading it has the same stack height as the regular Strive. It’s been nice to be able to change the mount point for...

They list 176, 181, 186, and 191. That’s a great size range. Nice to see every 5cm as opposed to something like the Mfree 108 with 10cm...

That camber looks pretty minimal, like the Cochise perhaps. Description definitely puts it in the same Cochise/ Corvus category as it is now. Although, his comment about 186 being the longest option...

I really do like his style. Chargy with freestyle to back it up.

looks like some fun on the new Corvus.

I pretty much daily drive the Animas if there has been any recent snow. I use the Corvus’s in low tide or if I’m worried about pow over ice. The chop destroying capabilities are one of my favorite...

I have the Birdie Animas with the gold Pivots and all the young dudes think it’s steezy. My 14 yo skinny kid who is 5’7” and 110 lbs is on the 176 Animas and loves them. He’s never complained about...

Looks like Virgile Didier qualified for the Freeride Challengers on the new Corvus. He previously skied what looked like the current version of the Anima in comps. He also posts a lot on the outgoing...

That’s definitely the specs of the old one including the turn radius. How do we know those are Turdell’s? Did he post a pic while dropping a deuce? You think if they made him a custom top sheet they...

I appreciate your comparison between the two. Personally, I’m digging the concept of the new one at least in the short size however, here in central Colorado, maybe I’d find the new 194 too big?? I...

since I was replying to a post about widening the Anima, yeah.

steffenator I only got one day on it, but I was really surprised by how stable the 182s were. They were super fun in tight trees and bumps. My 194s are the OG ones, so there is a little more between...

I sure hope not. It performs so well on firmer snow for a 115 ski. Even with the new Corvus as an option Turdel is still skiing the Anima as his comp ski. If it goes wider, it would be a much less...

Your write up has me wanting one for sure. I like the outgoing Corvus a lot, love the Anima. The new Corvus seems to blend the two.

GoldenBC thanks for the quick review. Sounds like an awesome ski, albeit maybe not the same usefulness as a low tide ski that the current Corvus is, which has replaced my Bonafides in use this year....

Thanks for the IBU (International Banana Unit). From that it seems about the same splay as the Anima. Maybe slightly deeper rocker than the current gen Anima and more like the gen 1 Anima. If that’s...

With that much tail splay, I hope they have a length longer than 191. Should have at least had a size to match the 194 Anima

edit: actually hard to see how much rocker that is in the tail without...

It kind of sounds like a skinnier Anima. If that’s the case with the addition of metal, it could be pretty fun and could sell well. Might not sound great to all the current Corvus fans though.

PSA:

182 Anima Birdie for $400. Same as regular Anima, just top sheet change.

As I haven’t met many shop guys that liked the outgoing Corvus, I’m reserving my opinions until I get a chance to ski them, or at least some mags on here have a chance to review them. That said, from...

after finding a crack in my Cochise 130 dyns, I’ve gone back to my Lange Rx130s I had Cast do the tech fittings. Unless I can get Technician to warranty, I think I may be back to riveted boots with...

1.3/2.8 BC likes a sharp ski that can pivot. I agree with their sentiment.
I run my Corvus and Animas at 1.5/3 because I can only bevel to half a degree.

Well, shit. I just checked my boots because of this thread and mine have the same crack. 484536

I do love the boot though. I even just replaced the liner with another new stock one because it’s...

Oh dang!

Yeah the R110 and R105 look fun. Although, one thing I like with the current Corvus is with the mount point at -8cm, it has lots of tail for stomping landings with no backslap, ever. The reverse...

Looks really tiny in the photo, I’m hoping it’s like more of a notch for skins.

Actually, the new Corvus looks to fit the slot of what the Freeride competitors are looking for. They want the twin tip, high speed stability, and usually a little camber. The Anima is a good ski,...

leaked photo in the BC thread showed the Corvus with a 25m turn radius.

They said on IG weight loss is 242 grams for ski mode and 92 grams for touring mode. They don’t specify if that’s per pair or binding. I originally read that as per binding as that’s how they always...

The weight reduction in ski mode is pretty significant. 240 ish grams they posted on IG. Dropping a half pound on the toe will be welcomed while skiing. And then a full pound lighter in the pack.

That tail in the photo doesn’t look all that far off from a FB Corvus. At least, with a turned up tail. The notch for a skin clip also has me thinking FB. 483133

I hear the Cochise’s time is limited

Yeah, would like details on new Corvus. Trying to find out if I need to hoard current model soon. The truth is, it hasn’t been that popular in the states. Not many shops stock it, mostly just the...

Hopefully, they will still sell extra ski set kits. That’s been one of the biggest advantages of the current system is being able to make my whole quiver Cast for relatively cheap with old heels....

Personally, I think you can go to a ski with a little more center mount than you are asking at -9 if you go longer and get the combo of directional feel and surfy. Soothsayer ran the numbers last...

For sure, the stiff tips crush chop, crud, and funk. Before skiing them, I had a little concern as many skis that have the metal that ends short (and I think the metal is only 120cm long on the...

Rolling your ankles is fine when you have room on the catwalk. I’m talking the shoulder to shoulder mess that you sometimes get into at the end of the day and that would carve you into someone. It’s...

Finally got a legit pow day on the Corvus’s. Had a few 5” days earlier this season. But today had a 9” report with a couple feet on the loaded aspects. Such a fun ski, especially if you know how to...

Truth. Misleading thread title, but OP specifically referenced low tide ski recommendations. I generally view chalk as a great condition vs low tide. For example, wind filled chalk at Arapahoe Basin...

I have the SR 88 and can attest it’s awesome for really low tide. But, my go to low tide ski is the Bonafides. Something about the Bones that just clicks for me. But my Bones have no camber left to...

I have the Smith Storm Rose and I like it a lot. I tried the low light Oakley Prism rose and liked it a lot too, but Oakley didn’t do an easy change mag lenses, so went with the Smith. I can’t deal...

I find with the more forward mount points, I always have to step up in size otherwise I’d get too much tip dive. Longer heel doesn’t seem to be an issue unless you have to slide sideways through...

Curious if anyone has tried the Bridgestone Weatherpeaks. Got the winter rating and look like a better tread than the Crossclimate. Saw them at Costco the other day and they had me wondering.

While I’ve only been to their Avon store, Boot Mechanics have been awesome for me, and my friends and family. I’m on my 3rd season of their orthotics and holding up well for me. Within minutes, they...

I heard today that they are bringing back a SR 110 for next season. As with all Stocklis, they will be pricey AF, but maybe worth it. I love, love my SR 105s. I’m just keeping them safe from...

Here’s my almost 14 yo kid enjoying the heck out of his new Animas. His review is that they are the best skis he’s ever been on. Granted, he just moved up to adult skis at the end of last...

I’m 6’1” and 215 on the 188. Only been on my new to me pair on the groomers (been a shit early season), but I think it’s plenty long for me for my plans for the skis which includes open bowls and...

It’s a 115.
