So I just picked up a pair of "Black Market" skis for my girlfriend.  They're the 'Flight' 167cm, 2007/2008 model, and have some rad silver dragons pasted all over them.  They look pretty sick, 120 / 90 / 110 ish, twin, and stiff flex.  I've never heard of them but apparently they have something to do with the Lamar snowboard factory..??  If anyone's heard of these I'd be keen to hear any more / feedback etc... Chur, Sam

doubt it.  I talked to a guy who was on them w/ a strong European acsent(idc about spelling) who was telling me he was thinking of selling Black Crows in the US(at a better price than theexchange rate we would pay) this season though, just a heads up for anybody who was curious.

Ha, the shop I bought them from has some killa deals here in North Vancouver, including these which were a steal, so maybe that's all there is to the name... 

Definitely nothing to do with Black Crows - I was in France for last season and tested a few pairs, crazy soft for big skis, too soft I thought but sick looking.

Will let ya'll know what my lady thinks of them soon as...

Stop stressing. The skis aren't in the Buyer's Guide or on the poster. I just looked.

There are a pair of Black Crows in the Buyer's Guide called the Navis though.
