The Black Crows Captis Birdie is a women's all-mountain ski designed for intermediate to advanced skiers. With a 90mm waist, it strikes a balance between on-piste carving and off-piste versatility. The ski features a poplar wood core and a semi-cap construction with ABS sidewalls, which provides a blend of light weight and durability. The double rocker and medium classic camber profile make it nimble and easy to turn while still offering solid edge grip on groomed runs. This construction allows the ski to be forgiving and playful, making it a great option for skiers who want to explore the entire resort, from groomed trails to bumps, trees, and even the park.

While the Captis Birdie excels in its playful nature and versatility, it has a softer flex than the unisex Captis model, which some reviews note can be a limitation at very high speeds or in challenging, variable snow conditions like heavy crud. It's best suited for a "freeride" or "free-skiing" style, where its manoeuvrability and pop from the wood core are most appreciated. The ski's tight sidecut and 17-metre turning radius allow for quick, responsive turns, which is ideal for weaving through tight spaces. Overall, the Captis Birdie is a fun and approachable ski that prioritises agility and playfulness over hard-charging performance, making it a popular choice for female skiers looking for a creative and all-around enjoyable ride.
