Octo Skis 2027

The Black Crows Octo takes the Mirus Cor's radical swallowtail aesthetic and translates it into a more accessible, groomers-first platform suited to a wider range of skiers.

At 84mm underfoot with a very short 14-metre radius, the Octo is laser-focused on quick, rhythmic carving turns on prepared terrain — delivering an edge-to-edge quickness that feels almost electric underfoot. The light front rocker keeps things playful and forgiving without undermining the ski's carving precision, while the swallowtail shape provides that characteristic easy release at the end of every arc. Built on a light poplar and fiberglass construction with an aluminium tail insert for binding retention, the Octo is a genuinely approachable ski that suits both committed intermediates progressing their carving game and experienced skiers looking for an agile, lightweight piste companion.

The combination of its distinctive shape and confident on-snow character makes it one of the most interesting frontside options in the Black Crows range.
