Julien is so G that he basically still has pro model at Armada so I'll be hyped for anything he does.
Also it is cool that Black Crows has hooked up some of the more underground freestyle guys like Anttu and Remco.
That said, I wish they would make some of their skis a touch softer in the future
I have an older pair of camoxes that I traded, guy told me they had 2 mounts but in reality it was 7, there was a massive chip of top sheet missing from the amount of holes drilled, however the only way I can describe how they ski is damp but springy at the same time. Pretty fun skis though
Yeah this is the impression I get from them. Damp but springy

Had the Nocta for a while, very fun ski in powder and slush. I also demo'd the Atris and didn't care for it though it wasn't terrible just didn't feel confident in the tails.
My wife had Ova Birdies for a daily driver and loved them for years... they're pretty comparable to Black Pearls or other intermediate front side oriented all-mountain skis.
I'm dying to get on the Mirus Cor sometime...looks like a riot.
I have a pair of plated Arto’s. Really good carving ski that edge harder than my ability. They feel quality. Don’t see many people skiing hard in Black Crows though for some reason.

Listened to an interview with Julien and apparently he is not stoked that Armada still sort of has his name on a ski. He was saying how Armada had departed from the original vision and they were not receptive when he asked them to stop using his name for branding. The Julien Regnier Podcast - Newschoolers.com

Oh damn, missed that Powell episode, thanks for pointing it out.
TBH anyone would be pissed if someone uses your name to make money and won't pay you.
Armada tried to remove the JJ branding when launching the new ARV collection but the JJ name made a comeback a year or two later.
Unfortunately most of the people nowadays are not aware of the origin of the name so I guess Armada will get away with it.
I've had the nocta for about a year and they come soft and buttery, It has one edge crack and a lil bit of topsheet pealing. They are a really nice ski for slushy days imo, floats well and super light, i think 3.5 pounds per ski in 172. Mine are still in pretty good condition other than a few scratches on the top sheet from the backyard setup

Fr tho I've demoed the Atris and Minus Cor. Most people on this site would probably like the minus as long as they can handle the crazy tight turn radius. Atris is a great aggressive all mountain twin but not very playful. Just remember that pretty much all black crows are designed for someone who likes to euro carve
did you hit urban through a mud puddle in the middle of a farm day in springtime? That's the craziest amount of mud I've ever seen on a pair of skis
