My New Quiver

14th Nov 2013by rosshewittguiding2 Comments

I’ve just arrived home after 4 months away and was really excited to pick up my new quiver of skis from Black Crows’ office in Chamonix yesterday.

Black Crows are a local ski brand, taking their name from the friendly alpine Choucas (Black Crow) that you see souring about and playing on the thermals. The legend is they are the souls of dead mountaineers. Always feed the birds when you stop at the col. When one of my friends greedily kept her food to herself she quickly found that one of the birds had made a deposit on her shoulder!

I’m psyched to be part of one of the coolest and stylish brands out there. A big thanks to Black Crows and UK importer Mountain Boot Company for the support.

I’m psyched to be backed by Mountain Boot Company next season and the cool Black Crows and Scarpa brands. I can’t wait for the snow to start falling!

We spent a day testing Black Crows this week with the crew of Paul Prentice, Andrew Jordan, Sally Bartlett and Tom Grant. Some of the snow we encountered was so wet and sticky it was nearly unskiable but a bit of a giggle none the less. As the sky cleared the snow started to dry out and the best turns were found at the end of the day.

My quiver choice was the Nocta for every day downhill freeride happiness, the Corvus for a phat performance freeride tourer with low tech bindings and the Orb Freebird for a big mountain touring / steep ski. For those that prefer something a bit softer there is also plenty to choose from in the range.

Thanks guys!
