About the Product
Built for verticality and absolute control on the steepest slopes. The Blackcrows Solis combines a homogeneous flex with a firm tip and tail plus a long, progressive front rocker. This pairing delivers exclusive pivot control, prevents oversteer in no-fall-zone terrain, and secures the heel—even when you're carrying a heavy pack.
- Homogeneous Flex – Consistent feel along the ski for predictable handling on exposed faces.
- Firm Tip & Tail – Added support and precision when hop-turning or arresting speed.
- Long Progressive Front Rocker – Smooth pivot initiation without unwanted oversteer in steep couloirs.
- Titanal Plate Underfoot – Excellent edge grip and stability when conditions turn firm.
- Purpose-Built for Steeps – Ultra-specific design for skiers who chase technical lines and big vertical.
The Solis is a specialist’s tool—secure, precise, and composed when the pitch gets serious.

Black Crows Solis
By PTO Team, Based on official specs and professional review consensus · Spec analysis + review consensus (Pick-a-Ski, The High Route, Gear Patrol, TGR) on this ski ·
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.
