Description
The Solis is Black Crows' steep-skiing specialist — a 100mm ski built for couloirs, no-fall-zone faces, and big vertical. A homogeneous flex with a firm tip and tail plus a long, progressive front rocker gives it exclusive pivot control: it turns predictably in tight, exposed terrain without the tips grabbing or oversteering, and a titanal plate underfoot adds the edge grip and stability you want when the snow turns firm or you're carrying a heavy pack.
This is a specialist's tool for an advanced-to-expert skier who skis technical steep lines and ski-mountaineering objectives. It's directional and built for control, not playfulness — at a 25m radius it's not a quick-turning all-mountain ski, not a powder-surfing freeride ski, and not for someone who mostly skis groomers or resort laps. If you want a do-everything freeride ski, look at the Atris or Corvus instead.

Black Crows Solis
By PTO Team, Based on the manufacturer’s published specs · Spec analysis
The take
“Built for the fall line. The Solis does not want to turn -- it wants to go straight down.”
The Solis is unlike anything else in the Black Crows lineup. Where every other ski emphasizes playfulness, the Solis is a purpose-built steep-skiing tool. Titanal underfoot, carbon reinforcement, paulownia/poplar core, and a 25m radius -- designed for couloirs, steep faces, and firm snow where edge hold and fall-line stability matter above all else.
The titanal plate gives real bite on hard snow and wind buff. The long radius discourages quick turns and encourages deliberate, controlled fall-line skiing. The progressive tail is supportive without being hooky, so you can release into the next turn without getting bucked.
This is a specialist. On groomers it feels slow and unresponsive -- 100mm and 25m radius make for awkward piste skiing. In soft powder it is adequate but not a floater. Its world is steep, firm, technical terrain where confidence and edge control matter more than anything.
Only two lengths (173/180) -- you are meant to ski it short for maneuverability in technical terrain.

This ski is for committed terrain. Pick a binding whose range covers your release setting — that setting is a technician's calculation from your weight, height, age, boot sole length and skier type, not a number to read off a page.
