Black Crows Octo Birdie
By PTO Team, Based on official specs and professional review consensus · Spec analysis + review consensus (Pick-a-Ski, Ski Essentials) on this ski ·
The take
“The carving ski that makes groomer days feel like an event, not a chore.”
The Octo Birdie is the women's version of Black Crows' swallowtail carver, sharing the same construction as the unisex Octo in shorter, lighter lengths. Same 84mm waist, same 14m radius, same poplar/fiberglass build, same distinctive swallowtail.
On groomed snow, it delivers quick, rhythmic short turns that feel almost automatic at 14m radius. The swallowtail gives each turn a little snap at the exit, making the ski feel energetic and alive. At 1,500g (161cm) it is noticeably light for all-day comfort.
Trade-offs mirror the unisex version: no metal means limited edge hold on ice, and it gets chattery at high speed. But for women who spend most time on groomed runs and want something with personality, the Octo Birdie is hard to beat.
Carryover from 24/25 to 25/26 -- identical construction, new graphics only.
