PTO Review
We know them. Here's how they stack up.
These skis span 2 categories (All-Mountain, All-Mountain Freestyle). Scores reflect each ski's intended use — direct comparison across all dimensions may be misleading.
Camox Birdie — women from progressing intermediate to expert who want one playful 97 mm ski for the whole mountain, every day — skiers who steer actively and value quick pivots and intuitive handling in bumps, trees, mixed snow and crud over long carved arcs.. Bent 100 — intermediate and better skiers who value a light, quick, playful ride and drive the ski with finesse rather than muscle.. Check the radar chart below to see where each one wins.
Each row compares all skis on one dimension. 🏆 marks the highest score.
| Dimension | Camox Birdie | Bent 100 |

| Carving | 5 | 6🏆 |
| Park | 4 | 7🏆 |
| Playfulness | 9🏆 | 9🏆 |
| Forgiveness | 7 | 8🏆 |
| Stability | 8🏆 | 5 |
| Powder | 5 | 6🏆 |
Women from progressing intermediate to expert who want one playful 97 mm ski for the whole mountain, every day — skiers who steer actively and value quick pivots and intuitive handling in bumps, trees, mixed snow and crud over long carved arcs.
Deep-powder specialists: flotation tested 6/10, and the 105 mm Atris Birdie is the line's storm-day ski. Aggressive frontside carvers who want long, locked-in arcs — testers found it does not encourage wide carving turns, and the piste-oriented Serpo serves that skier. Weight-focused skiers and anyone planning real touring: 1,550-1,900 g per ski is resort mass, and the Camox Freebird is the touring build of this platform. And skiers who equate edge security on ice with metal — there is no metal laminate in this ski, and its character is pivoty rather than glued-down.
Intermediate and better skiers who value a light, quick, playful ride and drive the ski with finesse rather than muscle. It rewards people who like to press, slash and ride switch, plus lighter or less aggressive skiers who do not want to fight a heavy ski, and anyone after one do-it-all ski that still floats on a soft day. It also makes a light resort-to-sidecountry option.
Skiers who want a metal ski's hard-snow bite and race-like precision: with a light woodcore and no metal laminate, the Bent 100 handles a groomer but will not match a metal ski's edge hold on firm snow or feel as locked-in on ice. Heavier, aggressive skiers who charge through cut-up crud will feel the light build deflect - a metal all-mountain ski like the Nordica Enforcer 100 tracks that line better. True beginners should skip it too; independent reviews place it at intermediate and up. And if deep powder is the priority, the wider Bent 110 or Chetler 120 is the better tool.
Camox Birdie is best for women from progressing intermediate to expert who want one playful 97 mm ski for the whole mountain, every day — skiers who steer actively and value quick pivots and intuitive handling in bumps, trees, mixed snow and crud over long carved arcs. Bent 100 is best for intermediate and better skiers who value a light, quick, playful ride and drive the ski with finesse rather than muscle. The right choice depends on your terrain, ability, and riding style.
Black Crows Camox Birdie has the highest Stability score in this comparison at 8/10. That score compares composure; it does not by itself mean the product is the most versatile choice.
Atomic Bent 100 leads Carving in this comparison with a PTO score of 6/10.
Atomic Bent 100 has the highest Forgiveness score here at 8/10. Forgiveness is one factor in progression, not a claim that every beginner should choose it.
