Only buy these skis if you want to enjoy

Only buy these skis if you want to enjoy skiing! Where have these skis been all my life? Since the mid-90’s I have skied NC, VA and WV slopes on a pair of Dynastar shaped kevlar core skis. The old Dynastars were light agile and everything I had come to expect from east coast skiing. For west coast skiing I would typically rent local to the slopes. After my local ski shops became hesitant to service my bindings due to their age, and after two unrelated knee surgeries, it seemed like a good time to go ahead and upgrade. I first became aware of the Mirus Cor last season, and the reviews made the skis sound as fun as they look. Out of shear wonder, I considered taking the dive, until the slightly more sensible Octo piste was released for his season. I took the plunge, and I’m hooked! I have skied them for a total of 5 days and 2 nights between North Carolina and West Virginia. Over 40, my legs should be sore and tired, but they are not. I find these skis fast and agile, they turn well, they carve well, they handle the east coast ice, they handle the spring like slush, they handle the fluffy stuff. Every run has been pure joy!

Black Crows Octo: thin is in!

Familiarity:: I've used it several times
Size Bought:: 179
Weight:: 200

My last few ski buying decisions have been made after having demoed the skis I was interested in. With the Octo 179, I broke with tradition and bought these based on specs and early reviews, and I'm glad I did. These are a perfect complement to my 2020 Corvus 184 and ski so much lighter, more playful, and more maneuverable, as one would expect. But, the pleasant surprise for me, was that the Octo does not chatter at higher speeds. They feel damp enough, but not heavy, and have been stable in all conditions. I've not had them in much off piste powder at this point in the season, but I'm optimistic. For the big pow days, I'll ski the Corvus, but it's looking like the Octo will be my new daily driver and one that I will continually look forward to skiing.
