Big-mountain confidence with freestyle flair—Black Crows Anima Ski floats, pops, and charges hard
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"The Anima is my favorite balance of freeride power and freestyle freedom. It’s wide enough to float on the deepest days, stiff enough to stay stable in chop, and playful enough that I can still spin and land switch. It makes big mountains feel like a terrain park."
Who It’s For
Advanced Freeriders and Playful Big-Mountain Skiers:
The Anima is best for confident skiers who love powder days but still want to ski with a freestyle touch. Riders who like to launch natural features, carve fast arcs, or stomp landings—regular or switch—will get the most out of this ski.
What It’s For
Freeride Powder and Creative Big Lines:
Designed for deep snow and steep terrain, the Anima thrives in freeride zones and big-mountain lines. Its 115mm waist and rocker profile float with ease, while the twin tips and balanced flex let skiers pivot, smear, and get playful across technical terrain.
Why We Like It
Power, Play, and Float Together:
We like how the Anima combines the stiffness and stability of carbon and kevlar laminates with the poppy energy of a poplar core. It blasts through chop with authority, but still feels light enough to butter, spin, and stay nimble in the air. It’s a rare ski that gives freeriders both muscle and creativity.

I bought my first pair of Animas a few seasons ago and have found it to be a really great ski. I broke a ski towards the end of last season and immediately bought a new, 2025, pair of Animas to replace them. The ski is designed to charge very hard, if you like to bomb steep lines then this is the ski for you. It is a very stable ski, but can still be fun on a groomer too. The updated version of the ski is pretty similar to the prior version too, even the graphics. The ski is definitely for people who want to bomb the mountain. It’s not playful but it’ll turn well enough. I find it to be both a really fun and really stable ski. It is heavy and definitely best suited for someone who is comfortable skiing aggressively in steep off piste terrain, but if that’s your style, then it’s a great option. A note on the graphics on the ski, they’re incredibly ugly, just awful colors. It’s not about how the ski looks though, it’s about how they ski, and this one is awesome.
