Back for another year, the Black Crows Nocta Ski furthers its reputation as a deep-snow, big-mountain destroyer. These sticks boast a wide 122mm waist with extended rocker in the tip and tail to promote float in the deepest snow of the year. Meanwhile, the half-cap construction teams up with a lightweight but damp paulownia and poplar core to help us whip up spins off of natural take-offs and maneuver through tight areas.
