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.

The Mentis Freebird from Black Crows. It is the lightest ski in the Freebird lineup (Sub 1000g). The Mentis is definitely more of a fitness-focused ski but with a less aggressive sidecut and a wider waist than its predecessor. This is going to be a fun ski to rip laps with. The Mentis is playful in nature but it sports a longer turning radius for its class (19m). With a unique blunt spoon nose and slightly more rocker than the Vastus, these skis will be able to handle a wider range of conditions
