Intro
We’re deep into heli ski season here in Alaska and that means lots of powder ski evaluations for me. One of the skis I’ve been on the most over the past few weeks is the newest version of the Black Crows Nocta, now in its third generation. I’ve skied it both at Alyeska Resort and in a variety of mountain ranges while working for Chugach Powder Guides.
Black Crows claim that “the third generation of our iconic ski has been made softer and went from full rocker to double rocker with reverse camber to provide perfect stability and balance at all speeds. Intended above all to surf the best powder, its playfulness is untouched thanks to a reworked flex to accommodate the new shape, to enjoy fully those magical days. With its orange chevron camouflage featuring a crow waiting to take flight, this is our answer to aesthetes of deep conditions who do not settle for anything less than amazing.”
I have never had the chance to try the previous (2nd generation) version of the Nocta; I still hope to do that someday and will update here when I do. That out of the way, at least in appearance, the new Nocta seems to be a pretty significant departure from the last one. So where does the latest iteration of Black Crows’ widest ski slot into the current market? Let’s dive in.
Construction
The Nocta’s core construction doesn’t appear to have changed much, with it continuing to use a poplar / paulownia wood core and fiberglass laminate
Shape / Rocker Profile
Based on what I’ve seen, and having put the new V3 Nocta next to a guest’s 2nd-gen pair at the hangar the other day, the new Nocta has quite a bit more tip taper than the previous version. More apparent than that is the change from a fully reverse-cambered profile on the previous ski to the new ski with camber underfoot combined with a bit of tip and tail rocker (its rocker lines are not all that deep for a ski this wide). I’m not sure how the new skis compare in weight to the previous version but I’d guess they’re fairly close. (The two share a similar poplar / paulownia wood core and fiberglass laminate.)
Overall, the new Nocta’s shape reminds me of the old Salomon Rocker 2 122 more than any ski I’ve used in the last 10 years. The widest point of the tip of the V3 Nocta is much closer to the boot than anything else I’ve used recently, especially in the non-super-fat category (e.g., the Armada ARG II has a much more tapered shape, but it’s in the more niche category of super fat, totally pow-specific skis).
Flex Pattern
Here’s how we’d characterize the flex pattern of the Nocta:
Tips: 7-7.5
Shovels: 8
In Front of Toe Piece: 8.5-10
Underfoot: 10
Behind the Heel Piece: 10-9
Tails: 8.5-7.5
For a pow-oriented ski, especially one that’s supposed to be fairly playful, the Nocta is actually a pretty strong ski throughout.
Sidecut Radius
The V3 Nocta’s 19-meter radius (across all lengths) is much shorter than most powder skis out there; I’m not sure I’ve been on a ski over 120 mm underfoot that has a radius this small. The previous Nocta’s stated sidecut radius was 20.1 meters. The ski most similar in this regard is probably the Volkl Revolt 121, which has a “triple radius” listed as 23.2 m / 21.7 m / 22.4 m in the 191 length.
Weight
At a little over 2100 grams per ski for the 190 cm length, the new Nocta is a little past the upper end of what I’d consider a touring-weight powder ski for my personal preferences but I don’t think it would be crazy to mount it with very light bindings for human-powered powder skiing — it’s still pretty dang light for its size. The Nocta does feel very balanced overall and the swing weight feels much lighter than the gram scale would suggest.
For reference, here are our measured weights for some notable skis. Keep in mind the length differences to try to keep things apples to apples.

FULL REVIEW
Powder
Paul Forward (6’, 200 lbs / 183 cm, 90.7 kg): Over the past few weeks, I’ve had the Nocta out at Alyeska resort for a powder day and then a lot of heli skiing spread out over two mountain ranges, covering everything from deep blower to classic Chugach cream-cheese-style steep powder skiing.
In the deep, dry powder over a soft base of facets (continental-style snowpack that feels essentially bottomless), the 190 cm Nocta feels a little small for my 230 lbs (with gear and guide-pack) and requires a more neutral or even heels-heavy stance to stay up and planing. In the same snow but steeper terrain, I’m able to stay more neutral or even a little forward and the Nocta feels very loose across the fall line for a 122mm-wide ski.
As the snow gets more “Alaskan” (i.e., soft 6-12” on top with a supportive, spongy base) I am able to ski these more from my usual more forward stance but the Nocta definitely still prefers a more neutral stance. I’ll get into this more in the upcoming Deep Dive comparisons, but I did some back-to-back runs using several other powder skis and I consistently found myself adjusting back to the Nocta by shifting to a more neutral stance, especially when trying to go really fast in big, open terrain where I might normally be driving the front of the ski a little more.
In the steepest, most technical powder skiing I did on these, the Nocta’s relatively low swing weight and balanced feel made it feel very nimble and reliable and invited me to throw in little extra slashes or low-effort speed checks.
Overall, the Nocta’s powder performance is quite good and skiers who prefer a more neutral stance will get on with it very well. It feels very loose across the fall line in all powder conditions and provides a fun, surfy ride. Especially for a skier my size, the Nocta isn’t the most stable high-speed powder charger, but it still does quite well while skiing very fast and feels very balanced and intuitive.
I did try the Nocta mounted at -1 cm from recommended (so about -6.5 cm from true center) and found that I could drive the tips more confidently in soft snow. I did not try them back any farther than that because, even at -1 cm from recommended, I started to lose the loose, surfy feeling that I think best defines this ski. Going back farther than that, in my opinion, would be trying to make this ski into something that it’s not.
Wind-Affected Snow & Crust
Unfortunately, South Central Alaska has also had its share of major wind events this season and I’ve had the opportunity to ski a variety of wind-affected snow conditions on the new Nocta.
In faceted-out crusts and shallow blown-in “grandma skin” conditions, the balanced feel and relatively loose, surfy tails of the Nocta make it fun and intuitive in these conditions. As above, a more neutral stance works best.
In the dreaded breakable crust, the Nocta also performs above average for a ski of this width. When skied from a neutral stance, it does a good job of staying loose and on top of the crust. Sometimes in these conditions, especially on lower-angle runouts, my strategy is to just engage a ski into its natural sidecut radius, avoiding the need to push the skis laterally through the crust. The Nocta does pretty well in this regard and remains fairly well composed.
Its 19-m radius actually allows for shorter turns when skiing like this, which can be a nice feature in some situations. Compared to stronger, more directional, and/or less tapered shapes, the Nocta gets knocked around a little more, but overall, it will get skiers through these conditions.
Soft Chop
Chopped-up snow is a less common experience while heli skiing but occasionally tracks converge to a common pickup point in natural terrain funnels and we get to ski through some more tracked-up snow. The Nocta does respectably well in this regard and feels like a heavier ski than it is (which is a good thing in this situation). When skied back-to-back with a more directional ski (e.g., Folsom Rapture), the Nocta shows a slightly lower speed limit but it’s certainly not a liability in these conditions. As above, a more neutral stance feels more natural.
Firm Chop / Crud
I got the Nocta out for some pow day and day-after laps at Alyeska and, especially on the North Face, was able ski it fast and hard in a variety of tracked-up and firm conditions, including some set-up avalanche debris. In these conditions, in which I’d generally prefer a narrower ski, the Nocta did surprisingly well when it came to holding onto nicely controlled, skidded turns and quick corrections. The Nocta has a reasonably damp feel for its moderately low weight and never felt overly harsh even when skiing way faster than I should have been. The Nocta is by no means the unflappable crud smasher that, say, the 193 cm Moment Chipotle Banana is, but the Nocta still holds up much better than many similarly wide skis.
Groomers
For a ski over 120 mm underfoot, the Nocta is pretty fun on a soft groomer. It has a very short effective edge, given the large amount of taper in the tips and tails, but the short radius pulls the ski into clean carves early in the turn and the edge hold is quite good. Despite its shorter effective edge, the Nocta does kind of remind me of a fatter version of the 22/23–23/24 Atris I’ve been skiing lately.
Moguls, Trees, & Tight Terrain
As mentioned above the in “Powder” section, the Nocta is a fairly nimble and well balanced powder ski with a swing weight that is lower than expected, given the overall mass of the ski. For a skier who utilizes a more neutral stance but still wants some stability at speed, the Nocta would be a great choice for a Japan trip or similar.
In moguls, the Nocta’s tails feel relatively forgiving and the nimble nature and low swing weight of the ski make it fun to wiggle through soft bumps. For my usual style of smashing and airing through soft moguls, the Nocta isn’t quite as stable as some of the more directional powder skis I tend to prefer but, for me, the Nocta is better in this regard than just about any of the more tapered “playful” powder skis I’ve used.
Playfulness
I always struggle with this category, since I haven’t thrown a 360 in a couple of seasons and my style of skiing isn’t what most people would call playful. That said, some skis lend themselves more to quick slashes, ollies, and getting airborne on smaller features than others. I would place the new Nocta into the more playful category of powder skis and I think that it strikes a very nice compromise between stability and a balanced, loose feel on snow and in the air.
Length
I most ski on 188-193 cm skis and the new 190.6 cm Nocta definitely feels pretty short to me. I’ve never even considered wanting a shorter ski and I don’t think I’d mind if the 190 cm model was a few centimeters longer, even for places where the terrain dictates quicker turning. Based on my experience, I would recommend either going with your usual powder ski length or sizing up slightly.
Mount Point
At -5.5 cm from true center, the Nocta’s mount point is fairly progressive / forward / centered, although the new Nocta still has a more directional / rearward mount than the Volkl Revolt 121 (-2.8 cm) or the K2 Reckoner 122 (-2.6 or -4.8). (That said, I preferred both of those skis 3-5 cm behind their recommended lines.)
After skiing the Nocta for a few days at recommended, I did try it back one cm (-6.5 cm from true center) and found that the tips felt a little more supportive when carving big arcs through variable snow and powder, but the tails started to feel a little less loose and required a little more conscious effort to release them into drifted out turns.
Who’s It For?
I think the new Nocta will be a popular powder ski for a lot of people. It offers good float for truly deep powder, feels nimble, has a low swing weight, and still offers pretty good stability when being pushed at higher speeds. Across all conditons, it seems to work best when skied with a more neutral / upright stance, but taking that into account, it’s a pretty versatile powder ski that stands out due to its maneuverability.
Bottom Line
The 3rd-generation Black Crows Nocta is a fun new entry into the “playful but still fairly stable” powder ski genre that will appeal to a lot of “powder hunters” out there.
Yesssss been hoping you would review the Nocta. Not that I have any need for a pair whatsoever but keen to hear that you think. Pity you don’t have the previous fully rockered version to compare it with
I’m 6’2 and 93kg and thinking of this as my ski for an Alaskan heli trip, would you recommend for this and are there any others you’d recommend I consider? I am strong advanced Skier and only ski directional (no interest in riding switch) and have a bonafide as my resort ski.
Hi Sam,
I own the previous fully rockered version so take my input with a grain of salt.
5’10, 75 KG. Ski directionally but prefer more modern mounts (-8 to – 6 cm or so).
I love the Nocta. Have trialed many pow skis including Bent 120s, Blizzard Spur, Super 7s, Solly rocker 1 and rocker 2, Hell bent, multiple Line options etc.
I really like the combo of maneuverable and playful this ski gives me. I can still lean into the tips for confidence (to an extent) but they are SO easy to pop, flick, and slarve turns. EXCELLENT low angle, deep snow and slower speed ski that still holds up at speed (better than the rossi 7s and bent chetlers). However, in Alaska I would likely consider a bit of a more directional and high speed oriented ski for the above alpine terrain. I strongly recommend these for interior BC but based on your location you may want to consider something else.
Hi Marc,
“EXCELLENT low angle, deep snow and slower speed ski that still holds up at speed”
Interesting. I bought this impulsively because the graphic is too good imo and I’m a believer in having the best pow ski for that epic day, it really makes the most out of those moments. I mostly ski VT/NE and get a trip out west every year. I ski Candide 4.0 122mm 190cm here np on pow days deep or not so deep (usually not that deep lol) and have plenty of fun. These noctas are big though like water skis. Maybe it’s the funky tip and tail. Anyways I bet they would be fun here, but how do they ski crud/chop? Most pow days here are just chop days which I enjoy but the ski plays a big role in handling those conditions.
Hi Marc, what size Nocta are you on?
“went from full rocker to double rocker with reverse camber”
Don’t they mean regular camber?
What is the reason behind that many previous full rocker pow skis like Nocta being changed to tip and tail rocker?
In pow specific skis I would think full rocker would bring many benefits without significant downsides.
Perhaps it’s a response to increasing backcountry use of wide skis like these, and the fact that positive camber provides better grip and sidehill edging on the skin track?
To be clear I don’t really buy into that reasoning. I’ve toured on Ravens, Renegades, La Machines, and V-Werks Katanas and it just hasn’t been much of an issue. I also find that I prefer the predictable handling of flat or reverse-cambered skis to ones with short cambered sections even on firmer snow. Obviously you have to keep reverse-camber skis on edge to get decent stability, and some don’t like that.
I went all-in and purchased the 190cm. Now have to wait until it snows here (Australia/NZ) before I can take them out, so am super interested to hear any insights from those who have skied them.
Also weighing up what binding I put on them, #1 priority is hold and performance on the downhill, #2 priority is occasional touring. I currently run ATK freeraider 14 but am thinking Cast Pivot 15. Thoughts?
Sam what size are you as I can’t find any 190’s left in Canada? I just love the look and I want in on them too. I probably can get by with the 185+ as I am 6’ and 180 lbs only. I have the fully the rockered version. But the New Limited Majoc J UL is out too in 190 but at 127 width and no edges in tip and tail I would love feedback on such a ski first.
Hi Greg,
I am 195lb and 6’2″ – got the last pair in 190cm from Backcountry. There are definitely some 190s still around in USA (I had them shipped to Australia).
Everyone I’ve spoken to says the Nocta skis short, so size up where unsure.
Cheers,
Sam
When can we expect Paul‘s review. Still in February? Looking forward to!
Paul – When you do the full review on the Noctas, I’d really appreciate some comments and comparisons to the DPS Lotus 124 Alchemist that you speak so highly of. For a pure pow ski, I have a pair of 138 Spoons but am looking for something for deeper inbounds days at Grand Targhee or the BC interior so it would be nice to have something that can carve soft groomers when making it back to the lifts. I have Black Crows Atris and captis and imagine I’d enjoy the Nocta but the way you rave about the DPS 124, that seems like it could be the better call with the traditional camber. Thanks!
Hi Dane,
Just skied new Nocta 190cm today in VT on 5in day (LOL… that’s how it goes here) and I was impressed. I typically ski my fully rockered Candide 4.0 120mm on fresh and deep days but the runouts would kill me and felt like buying a new cool ski. The camber underneath a big 120mm ski was a big improvement and felt way better on some of the groomers and handeled well in spots of hardpack/ice between chop/fresh moguls. The ski was more stable than I expected and handled chop a lot better than I expected, felt very stable when picking up speed and im not a light skier, 6’2″ 215lb. I also took the Nocta in some cuts through the tight trees and it was very maneuverable for its size.
Francis – mounting thoughts for 200lb / 6’2” relatively aggressive skier who doesn’t ski switch?
Hi Sam,
Got on the 190 nocta again today for 12″ storm and was a blast. I just went with factory recommended at -5.5cm. I’m not necessarily that savy with testing different mounting points to affect the skis character/performance to my liking. So far I’ve had no problem with diving tips or not having enough ski in front to drive. And have been using the maneuverabilty of this ski to weave through tight New England trees which despite its width and length does an excellent job. I’m also quite big at 6′ 215lbs. I would for what Paul has to say as I’m sure he’ll try a few mounting posistions, and what his experience is skiing the nocta in much steeper terrain. I’m skiing relatively low angle, tight VT woods and resort. I’m also new to sharing thoughts on skis so take my feedback with grain of salt.
Thanks Francis, appreciate the heads up – glad to hear you are enjoying them!
Paul – looking forward to the review, any update when this will drop?
Has anyone had success mounting Look Pivot 115mm brakes?
Yes, I went 115 for the looks.
Interesting comment section here. I have the 2021 Nocta 190 mounted at -6cm and love it, though recognizing its limitations, but must say that I definitely cannot drive the shovels at all. The overall float is there but under medium speed these tips can be submarined quite easily with anything resembling a traditional ski stance. More annoying though is how the shovels can fold at medium+ speed. Pretty soft ski imo. Unmatched maneuverability though. Unmatched.
The Mana 4 (at -7cm) by comparison has tremendous tip-up power. Still a modern stance of course, but I can actually drive the shovels a lot when desired.
Can’t wait for the 2024 Nocta review from Paul. The rocker change seems sensible; glad they kept it light weight; but I’m surprised to hear about a softer flex. Guess we’ll see as the reviews keep coming in!
How is the Revolt at -5 from recommend? I went -2 on mine and they’re fun as hell but do feel too short in front a lot of the time.
Grandma skin conditions?? Please explain
For someone not looking to ski switch, what mount point would you recommend? -1cm?
Hands down best powder ski I have ever been on. As a previous owner of the Nocta V2 this ski puts it to shame. I have been ripping on the Revolt over the past couple of year and this has quickly replaced that and is also my go to on tracked out days. The radius is ridiculous and you can turn on a dime. No regrets and truly is refreshing for Black Crows to get creative here!
what length Revolt / Nocta are you using?
I have had a couple pair of the 121 Revolts at 184 and I am 174 lbs. plus clothing/gear. Great PNW skis for pow. Lights out better than a Reckoner 122.
Kinda a borderline would love both sizes of the V3 Nocta. Skiing primarily PNW pow are these version 3’s better than your Revolts?
I recently got back from my first ski trip in AK with Points North and borrowed a pair of skis that were built off the Volkl Kuro’s (no longer produced but I found an old pair for sale!) in order to better deal with the wind f*@&^$d snow or creme brulee. They were remarkably better suited than the Volkl Revolts (whic I’ve loved here in Tahoe) which I brought up there with me. This review caught my eye on IG because of the discussion here on how the Nocta handles breakable crust which I find to be one of the hardest conditions to ski on. I like the sound of your approach to skiing it too. I’m curious what skis you rely on when you know you’ll encounter those conditions, especially in the Chugach?
Also, is there a pair of touring skis you think work particularly well in crusty/punchy/creme brulee? I use the Volkl Blaze 106 for touring and they do ok in those conditions – a pretty well rounded ski for most all conditions – not great at anything but not bad either – very predictable. Thanks!
How was your trip with PNH? I’m flying with them in 2025, any advice?
its an incredible powder ski, ran it thru some incredibly conditions in wy and id – so fun, poppable, just a real treat to be on. If you want to send it, you can as its incredibly stable at speed once you know the balance points and angles at different levels of deepness. It performs best at 2+ feet, its fun at 6 inches and above. on groomers its some work but still fun as its very playful at speed when you can flex the ski. compared to the bent 120 and the armada whitewalker 116 its the most versatile and all out pow ski.
Black Crows :((( They don’t make enough short skis! I’m 5’5 126lbs without any gear on. Would I be able to ski a 178 Nocta?
Paul, in Blister Weight tables Bent Chetler 120, 184 cm still is pointed as 1710 & 1744 (18/19–22/23).
Blister is kind of… institution for getting information about different skis, dimensions behavior and so on!
I think is really strange not to update the BC 120 weight for years.
I have had all iterations of present BC 120, in 184 cm, except the first oan and I’m telling you – the real weight for all versions after the initial one is around 1850 gr. And there is different flex and so on, but the weight is so easy to be checked….
Please, update the BC 120 weight in your records, you are Blister, not some regional shop in… Spain or Greece..
Long time reader, first time poster.
I’m looking for help with a length recommendation on the Nocta, deciding between 186 vs 190. I’m 6′ ~175lbs and I’m currently on the Moment Deathwish at 184. I love the Deathwish, love that I can ski more centered and drive the front a bit. Dream is to take these things to Hokkaido for some inbounds and touring (CAST). Will most likely be skiing these in the Wasatch and Tahoe. Thanks!
Hi guys,
what about bindings for Nocta? I ve just got a 190 pair, but I am struggle to find the right binding.
My usage will be 80% descent 20% touring or even 90-10.
Cheers
I’d recommend either the Marker Duke PT or CAST Freetour.
