Anima 2024

The Anima from Blackcrows is a freeride ski for men in the Big Mountain range.

Its sidecuts have been lengthened at the ends to increase grip and stability at high speeds. Its flex has been merged to make skiing more comfortable. The Anima is equipped with a better weight distribution, with a stretched heel and an enlarged tip.

In terms of its construction, it remains unchanged. It's still a real freeride ski, and doesn't hide its wild side! It has a solid poplar core reinforced with carbon-kevlar strips. The brand has also opted for quite a short standard cambre to prioritise grip on hard snow while leaving maximum manoeuverability. The result is incredible stability combined with a very playful, almost instinctive side to adapt to the infinite creativity of skiers.

Designed for dizzying slopes and forests full of fresh snow, the Anima is built on a 115mm wide base and a double rocker with a high tip lift to ensure plenty of lift in powder and easy lift off the ground. Its flex is quite stiff but very progressive, to ensure good movement in soft snow and performance in hard snow.

The Anima from Blackcrows is a more versatile model than its big brother, the Nocta, but its imposing size makes it an ideal model for advanced to expert skiers looking for a ski with character for all weather and that proves to be stable, playful and interesting on hard snow.
