PTO Review
We know them. Here's how they stack up.
Mirus Cor — skiers who turn constantly and want tight, high-energy carving plus butters, switch and sidehits on one groomer-centric ski — it comes especially naturally to freestyle backgrounds.. 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.

| Park | 6 | 7🏆 |
| Playfulness | 9🏆 | 9🏆 |
| Forgiveness | 8🏆 | 8🏆 |

Skiers who turn constantly and want tight, high-energy carving plus butters, switch and sidehits on one groomer-centric ski — it comes especially naturally to freestyle backgrounds.
Powder days — at 87mm it will not carry you past roughly six inches of fresh, and the swallowtail does not change that. Hard chargers — point it through chop at speed and it gets knocked off line. Boilerplate ice — edge grip is OK, not great, despite the single titanal plate. And if one ski has to cover regular off-piste days, Black Crows' own line answers that with the Vena Cor or the Camox instead.
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.
Mirus Cor is best for skiers who turn constantly and want tight, high-energy carving plus butters, switch and sidehits on one groomer-centric ski — it comes especially naturally to freestyle backgrounds. 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 Mirus Cor has the highest Stability score in this comparison at 5/10. That score compares composure; it does not by itself mean the product is the most versatile choice.
Black Crows Mirus Cor leads Carving in this comparison with a PTO score of 7/10.
Black Crows Mirus Cor has the highest Forgiveness score here at 8/10. Forgiveness is one factor in progression, not a claim that every beginner should choose it.
