Rent Black Crows Skis in Aspen at Hamilton Sports
Chamonix Born. Built for the Pursuit of Pleasure.
Born in Chamonix in 2006, Black Crows is an independent French ski brand created by professional freeskiers Camille Jaccoux and Bruno Compagnet. From the beginning, the idea was to combine uncompromising mountain performance with distinctive design and a strong sense of ski culture. That philosophy has made Black Crows one of the most recognizable names in contemporary skiing, with skis designed for everything from carving resort runs to freeriding big mountain terrain and earning turns in the backcountry.
Black Crows skis have always felt particularly at home in a place like Aspen, where a single ski day can move from fast groomers to bumps, trees, steeps and powder. The collection ranges from playful, highly responsive skis like the Mirus Cor to versatile all-terrain models like the Camox, along with wider freeride skis and the lightweight Freebird touring collection. Black Crows builds its resort and big-mountain skis primarily around poplar wood cores and fiberglass, while the Freebird line uses lighter paulownia cores with carbon and fiberglass construction for human-powered skiing.
Hamilton Sports carries one of its broadest Black Crows selections for 2026/27, with nine models spanning men’s, women’s and touring skis. Whether you’re looking for a responsive ski for carving Aspen Mountain, an all-mountain setup for exploring Snowmass, a freeride ski for the steeps of Aspen Highlands, or a lightweight touring ski for adventures beyond the lifts, Hamilton Sports can help match you with the right Black Crows ski rental or demo for the terrain and conditions.
Our 2026–2027 Black Crows Demo Selection
Black Crows Mirus Cor
Available Sizes: 168cm, 173cm, 178cm
The Black Crows Mirus Cor is unlike almost anything else in the Hamilton Sports demo fleet. Built around an unusually tight turn radius, substantial rocker and a playful, freestyle-influenced shape, it blends the edge-to-edge excitement of a carving ski with the loose, creative personality of a freeride ski. The result is a ski designed less around getting from the top to the bottom as efficiently as possible and more around finding interesting ways to get there. Current 2027 testing continues to single out its quickness and playfulness, particularly on groomed terrain.
Aspen Mountain is a natural playground for the Mirus Cor. Its quick-turning character makes carving Ajax’s groomers entertaining even when there hasn’t been fresh snow, while bumps, rollers, side hits and changes in terrain give a creative skier plenty to work with. This isn’t the Black Crows ski we’d choose for a deep Highlands Bowl day; it’s the one we’d choose when you want an ordinary resort day to feel anything but ordinary.
Best for: Intermediate through expert skiers; Aspen Mountain; groomers; bumps; quick turns; playful and creative skiing.
Black Crows Atris
Available Sizes: 172cm, 178cm, 184cm, 191cm
At 105mm underfoot, the Black Crows Atris sits squarely in freeride territory while retaining enough versatility to ski far more than powder. Its directional shape, rocker-camber-rocker profile and relatively long turn radius create a smooth, predictable ski that favors soft snow, open terrain and longer turns. Independent 2027 testing particularly emphasizes the Atris’s combination of flotation, maneuverability and smoothness, while noting that soft snow is where it really shines.
Aspen Highlands is where we’d point the Atris. It has the width and float for Highlands Bowl after a storm, but it isn’t so powder-specific that the day is over once the fresh snow gets tracked. Steeps, chalk, soft bumps and variable snow all fit its freeride personality. It’s also an excellent Snowmass choice for skiers who spend more time searching for soft snow and off-piste terrain than carving groomers.
Best for: Advanced and expert skiers; Aspen Highlands; Highlands Bowl; soft snow; powder; steeps; freeride terrain.
Black Crows Camox
Available Sizes: 169cm, 175cm, 182cm, 188cm
The Camox is the Black Crows ski for someone who doesn’t want to decide what kind of day they’re going to have before leaving the shop. At 97mm underfoot, it occupies the heart of the all-mountain category, with enough width and rocker for soft snow and off-piste exploration while retaining strong edge hold and stability when you return to firmer terrain. The current generation was redesigned for greater power and stability, and 2027 testing continues to highlight its grip and confidence despite using no metal in its construction.
That versatility makes Snowmass an ideal match for the Camox. Start with fast groomers, follow your friends into the bumps, explore the trees and head toward softer snow without wondering whether you brought the wrong ski. For a visitor who wants one Black Crows ski rental for a full day of exploring rather than a ski specialized for one condition, the Camox makes a lot of sense.
Best for: Intermediate through expert skiers; Snowmass; all-mountain skiing; groomers; bumps; trees; mixed conditions.
Black Crows Serpo
Available Sizes: 168cm, 174cm, 180cm, 186cm
The Black Crows Serpo brings a more directional, frontside personality to the collection. At 93mm underfoot with Titanal reinforcement, it combines strong edge grip and stability with enough rocker and width to venture beyond groomed snow. Rather than feeling like a narrow freeride ski, the Serpo feels like a powerful all-mountain carver that happens to be comfortable when the terrain gets more interesting. SkiEssentials’ 2027 testers gave it particularly strong marks for stability, quickness, edge grip and versatility.
That’s a terrific recipe for Aspen Mountain, where strong skiers can carve fast morning laps and then move into bumps, steeps and mixed off-piste terrain as the day develops. If you like driving a ski through a turn and want something more substantial than the playful Mirus Cor without jumping to a wider freeride ski, the Serpo is a compelling Black Crows demo.
Best for: Strong intermediate through expert skiers; Aspen Mountain; carving; groomers; bumps; firm and mixed conditions; directional all-mountain skiing.
Black Crows Captis Birdie
Available Sizes: 154cm, 160cm, 166cm
The Captis Birdie is a playful women’s all-mountain ski designed for skiers who value maneuverability and versatility over outright power. Its narrower platform makes it quick from edge to edge, while its freeride-influenced shape gives it the freedom to pivot, explore bumps and trees and make the mountain more interesting than simply linking turns down a groomer.
We like the Captis Birdie for Buttermilk and Aspen Mountain, particularly for intermediate and advanced women who want a ski that’s approachable without feeling limiting. It can carve groomers in the morning, move comfortably through bumps and tighter terrain, and encourages the kind of exploratory skiing that Black Crows is known for.
Best for: Intermediate and advanced women; Buttermilk; Aspen Mountain; groomers; bumps; trees; playful all-mountain skiing.
Black Crows Camox Birdie
Available Sizes: 156cm, 162cm, 169cm
The Camox Birdie takes the versatile all-mountain character of the Camox and packages it in lengths designed around women skiers. It offers a useful balance between edge hold on groomed snow and maneuverability when you head into bumps, trees and softer conditions, making it an excellent choice for someone who wants one ski rather than separate skis for every type of Aspen terrain.
Snowmass is an especially good match. Its huge variety means conditions and terrain can change repeatedly during a single run, and the Camox Birdie gives an adventurous skier the freedom to follow whatever looks best. For women looking for an Aspen ski rental that doesn’t dictate where they should ski, this is one of the most versatile Black Crows choices in Hamilton’s fleet.
Best for: Intermediate through expert women; Snowmass; all-mountain skiing; groomers; trees; bumps; mixed and soft snow.
Black Crows Atris Birdie
Available Sizes: 160cm, 166cm, 172cm
The Atris Birdie is the women’s counterpart to one of Black Crows’ signature freeride skis. With a 105mm waist and a shape designed around flotation, maneuverability and smooth turns in softer snow, it gives strong women skiers a legitimate big-mountain option rather than simply a wider all-mountain ski. Current Black Crows test listings retain the Atris Birdie at the same 105mm platform as the Atris family.
Take the Atris Birdie to Aspen Highlands when the forecast delivers. It has the width for powder and Highlands Bowl, while its maneuverability makes it equally appealing in trees, soft bumps and the variable terrain encountered later in a storm cycle. At Snowmass, it’s a strong choice for women who would rather spend the day hunting for soft snow than staying on groomed trails.
Best for: Advanced and expert women; Aspen Highlands; Highlands Bowl; powder; soft snow; steeps; freeride skiing.
Black Crows Orb Freebird
Available Sizes: 155cm, 161cm, 167cm, 173cm, 178cm
The Orb Freebird moves us away from resort skiing and into Black Crows’ touring collection. Built for human-powered skiing, the Freebird concept reduces weight while maintaining the downhill performance necessary for real mountain terrain. The Orb’s narrower footprint makes it particularly attractive for longer tours, firm snow and days when efficiency on the climb matters as much as the descent.
For Aspen skiers looking beyond the lifts, the Orb Freebird is the more uphill-oriented choice in Hamilton’s Black Crows touring selection. It’s well suited to experienced backcountry skiers who want an efficient platform for earning turns around the Elk Mountains rather than carrying unnecessary width and weight on every climb.
Best for: Experienced backcountry skiers; ski touring; longer approaches; firm and variable snow; uphill efficiency.
Black Crows Camox Freebird
Available Sizes: 161cm, 167cm, 173cm, 179cm
The Camox Freebird is the more versatile touring choice, pairing the proven all-terrain character associated with the Camox name with Black Crows’ lightweight Freebird construction. Compared with a narrower touring ski, its wider platform provides more confidence and flotation when the descent involves soft or variable snow, while remaining light enough for substantial days under your own power.
For touring around Aspen and the Elk Mountains, this is the Black Crows option for skiers willing to carry a little more ski uphill in exchange for greater versatility on the way down. From winter powder tours to spring days where snow conditions can change dramatically with elevation and aspect, the Camox Freebird is designed for backcountry skiers who care just as much about the descent as the climb.
Best for: Experienced backcountry skiers; Aspen-area ski touring; soft and variable snow; powder touring; all-around uphill/downhill performance.
