Built for skiers who thrive in no-fall-zone terrain, the Solis is Black Crows’ ultra-specific tool for steep skiing—precise, predictable, and engineered for controlled descent on the most consequential lines. Its long, homogeneous flex profile pairs with a firm tip and tail and a long, progressive front rocker to prevent oversteering on pitches where precision is everything. This design gives the Solis its signature pivot control, allowing you to smear, slide, or feather turns without losing composure.

A light classic camber delivers the balance needed for edge engagement on hard, exposed snow, while a Titanal plate underfoot provides the grip and confidence required when side-slipping, jump-turning, or edging above hazards. With a lightweight paulownia/poplar core, ABS sidewalls, and a semi-cap construction, the Solis stays stable under load—even with a heavy pack—while remaining responsive enough for quick, reactive movements in tight chutes.

At 100 mm underfoot with a 25 m radius, the Solis offers dependable float when the pitch is deep and unwavering stability when the surface is firm. Purpose-built and unapologetically focused, it’s the ski for verticality lovers who need reliability when every move counts.

This guide is for alpine (downhill) skis. Ski length depends on your height, your ability, and how you like to ski. Use this chart as a starting point, then talk to us about the ski itself: rocker, width, and turn shape all change how long a ski feels.

Quick Rule

  • Beginner: ski tip around your chin. Shorter skis turn easily.
  • Intermediate: tip between your nose and forehead.
  • Advanced: tip around the top of your head, for stability at speed.
  • Expert: about 5cm longer than advanced, for hard charging and big-mountain terrain.

Adjust For

  • Go longer: heavier build, fast skiing, deep snow, lots of tip rocker.
  • Go shorter: lighter build, tight trees and moguls, uphill touring.
  • Telemark: if you want a ski for tele, we recommend going down about 10cm from the length you normally like.
