{"product_id":"ova-freebird","title":"BlackCrows Ova Freebird 2026\/2027","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Black Crows Ova Freebird is an 85 mm touring ski, 975 to 1,300 g per ski by length, built to go up all day and come down easy. At $849 it is the lowest-priced ski in Black Crows' six-model Freebird touring line, and its brief is deliberately modest: light enough for long days on the skin track, comfortable and predictable on the descent, rather than a demanding race tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe weight comes from a paulownia core laminated with glass and carbon fibers in a semi-cap layup — the tip and tail are capped, a choice Black Crows credits to lightness and handling, while ABS sidewalls sit underfoot along with a titanal reinforcement in the binding area. The published turn radius is 17 m at every length. For 26\/27 Black Crows has rebuilt the ski a third time — a new core, a stronger and livelier flex — while keeping the accessible character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt suits touring-first skiers: long spring days, corn missions, and anyone stepping into lightweight touring gear who wants forgiving manners. The unisex run begins at 156.1 cm — that short end exists to cover smaller and lighter skiers, not to mark a women's model. It is not the ski for deep-powder days, since 85 mm buys skin-track efficiency rather than float; not for steep, icy, high-consequence lines; and not for resort-primary skiing. One honest note: the hands-on coverage available to date is of the previous generation — the revamped 26\/27 version has not yet had a full independent test.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside the Freebird line, the Orb (91 mm, $899) is the step up in float for $50, and the Navis (104 mm) is the descent-first pick. The Ova Freebird is sold flat, so a touring binding is a separate purchase — we help you choose one, mount it, and set the right length for how you tour.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blackcrows","offers":[{"title":"Blue \/ 156.1 cm","offer_id":51331350135079,"sku":"101616-156","price":849.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Blue \/ 163.5 cm","offer_id":51331350167847,"sku":"101616-163","price":849.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Blue \/ 170.3 cm","offer_id":51331350200615,"sku":"101616-170","price":849.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/7177\/0663\/files\/101616_006_Large_62cac3a1-3c0f-44a1-847d-23c8db1e216d.jpg?v=1784257415","url":"https:\/\/933534.myshopify.com\/zh\/products\/ova-freebird","provider":"PTO SKI \u0026 Snowboard","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
