Available from Cripple Creek Backcountry when we last checked, in the last two days. Sold from the shop’s own store; the price there is the one that counts.

After nine years in the range and on its third update, the ova freebird has been largely revamped again. It is a ski with a noticeably sportier flex, very lively, but still very accessible and easy-going. The objective of lightness does not impose any constraints on its downhill behaviour, which must be comfortable and exemplary, and its new core makes it a beautiful beast of power, which gains in aggressiveness without losing its popularity.
