The Black Crows Camox features a high, twin-tip-style tail that makes sense in certain off-piste situations but can be tricky to handle when slotting skis into lift racks. Its distinctive design, with a subtle trompe-l’œil color effect, looks great and gives it a playful freeride identity. The generous tip rocker immediately suggests strong powder potential.
In moguls and chopped-up snow, the Camox absorbs impacts well and floats over uneven terrain, allowing for confident, uninhibited skiing.
At first glance, the Camox might appear very freestyle-oriented, given its shorter effective edge—but that’s not entirely accurate. There’s plenty of substance underfoot, and the pivot isn’t as effortless as one might expect (our test pair was slightly over-sharpened at the tip). You need to stay centered; if you get too far back, the ski demands more finesse to keep it from under-turning.
Underfoot, the Camox feels powerful and stable, making it an excellent choice for larger or stronger skiers. It can easily be skied longer than you might initially think. In powder, it’s fast, composed, and provides solid support in big, sweeping turns.
On hardpack, the ski holds an edge very well and can be pushed hard. It feels confident at speed and delivers secure carving performance. Skidded or drifted turns come relatively easily—though we expected them to be a touch smoother. Still, the Camox remains an engaging ski for tree runs, moguls, and tight spaces where agility is key. Once set on edge, however, it naturally favors a longer turn radius. It’s not the most fluid ski, and you need to work the front, center, and back of the ski actively to get the most out of it. Tightening the turn radius can be challenging unless you’re technically sharp or have the strength to bend it. Lengthening turns, on the other hand, is effortless.
Short-radius, skidded entries aren’t its strong point. To its credit, that’s not what it’s designed for—but a touch more flex fluidity would have improved adaptability across varied turn shapes. That’s really its main weakness: limited flexibility in transition between radii.
Overall, the Camox is a solid, well-built ski with a strong platform underfoot and a nicely executed die-cut design. The full-edge wrap around the tip adds durability, though the top sheet marks quickly.
A well-crafted, serious ski for powerful riders or those who value stability and speed over buttery turn feel—a great choice for charging fast across all terrain.
