The Black Crows Vertis 23/24 is an all-mountain frontside ski crafted for men who want a single ski that handles groomed runs and mixed conditions with confidence. Its 75 to 88 mm waist width keeps it nimble on packed snow while still offering enough surface to carry speed through variable terrain.
With sidecut dimensions of 128 / 85 / 111 mm at 175 cm, the Vertis initiates turns quickly yet holds an edge firmly once you lean in. A 15 m radius delivers a versatile mix of tight, playful swings and longer, more controlled arcs. Weighing around 1.7 kg per ski, it feels lively underfoot without sacrificing stability, and the flat binding platform lets you fit the bindings you prefer.
The 15 m radius refers to the circular arc the ski would carve if it followed its sidecut all the way around. This mid-range radius offers a balance: you get the responsiveness needed for short, dynamic turns, and the smoothness required for sustained, high-speed carves.
