The take
“The women's freeride benchmark. Everything the Atris does, tuned for women.”
The Atris Birdie is the women's version of Black Crows' benchmark freeride ski, sharing the same construction and 105mm waist in women's-specific lengths (160-178cm). Same poplar core, same fiberglass laminate, same double rocker profile, same playful-yet-stable character.
What makes it stand out among women's freeride skis: playfulness. Most 105mm freeride skis feel heavy and serious. The Atris Birdie feels light and inviting. Double rocker with 22% tip rise and 15% tail rise makes it pivot easily in tight terrain, and the poplar core keeps it energetic. It floats well in powder thanks to the 136mm tip.
On hardpack it is adequate but not a standout -- 105mm is wide and there is no metal for bite. The ski lives for soft snow, steep lines, trees, and mixed resort days where conditions change every run.
Carryover construction from 24/25 to 25/26. Same ski, new graphics.

These are DIN 4-11 bindings — a range that covers most intermediate-to-advanced skiers on a ski like this. Your own release setting is a technician's calculation from weight, height, age, boot sole length and skier type; body weight alone does not decide it. If yours lands above 11, step up to the Look Pivot 12.
