The Black Crows Mirus Cor is absolutely an all-mountain ski, but it’s almost a slalom race ski in a clever freeride disguise. Perhaps more accurately, an on-piste racer with added features for more fun all over the mountain. The shape is a wild ride from first glance, with a skinny 87mm waist, with a ton of sidecut to a huge 134mm shovel and a split tail. It’s pretty different to almost everything else out there in the marketplace.
It features a poplar wood core, fiberglass layers, and a metal layer underfoot for chatter dampening, all proper carving attributes. What really stood out was its nimble 13m turning radius and symmetrical rocker profile, which speaks to its slalom racing undercurrent, and it allows you to absolutely rip across fall lines.
While it certainly is a tight turn speed machine, it transitions beautifully to softer snow, chop, and lighter powder. The wide tips act as snow plows, while the split tail reduces drag and gives it a floaty feel through almost any conditions.
The bright orange color and unique shape also give it a pretty rad 80’s vibe that will certainly attract a few admiring glances in the lifeline. All Black Crows skis come with a signature slogan on the sidewall, and the Mirus Cor has “still on mute,” which not only highlights its dampening nature but probably accents how many people will be taking work calls from the lift while out carving up their local resorts on these bad boys.
