Blackcrows Opens U.S. Nest Pop-Up Stores In Boulder And Seattle In Collaboration With Rapha

Blackcrows, the iconic French ski brand renowned for its design-driven high-performance ski products and apparel, is excited to announce the opening of its first two U.S. pop-up stores in collaboration with Rapha. The stores will be located at Rapha’s Boulder and Seattle locations, bringing the blackcrows experience to two of the country’s most dynamic outdoor communities. The Boulder store, at 1815 Pearl Street, and the Seattle store, at 301 E Pine Street, will open on November 1, both remaining in operation throughout the winter season.

The partnership between blackcrows and Rapha celebrates a shared passion for exploration, freedom, and adventure, making it a natural fit for these vibrant cities. Boulder and Seattle boast a deep-rooted love for skiing and cycling, making them ideal locations for this collaboration.

“We are excited to bring the blackcrows nest experience to the U.S. with our first pop-ups in Boulder and Seattle, two cities that embody the pursuit of pleasure our brand stands for,” says Pat Sherlock, president blackcrows. “Partnering with Rapha allows us to celebrate two treasured pursuits—skiing and cycling—while creating a space for locals to engage with blackcrows and prepare for the upcoming winter season.”

The blackcrows pop-up stores will offer local skiers a hands-on opportunity to explore the brand’s full product line, including the latest skis, apparel, and accessories. Highlights will include this season's standout gear, such as the newly redesigned Corvus ski, the Mirus Cor, and the debut of the Octo and Octo Birdie models. Ski experts will be on hand to answer questions and assist with product selections.

In both cities, there will be Corvus launch parties to celebrate the store openings—November 14 in Boulder and November 12 in Seattle. These events will offer local communities a chance to gather, experience the latest blackcrows gear, and share their passion for outdoor adventure.

"We are excited to welcome blackcrows into our Boulder and Seattle Clubhouses, sharing in the celebration of local culture and multisport adventures in the Rocky Mountains as well as our PNW outpost," says Brandon Camarda, Rapha marketing manager.

These locations mark a significant milestone for blackcrows as its first brand stores in the U.S. and the collaboration with Rapha provides a unique opportunity to gather in a space that reflects their shared values. The blackcrows and Rapha teams look forward to welcoming the Boulder and Seattle communities and creating a destination where cycling and skiing unite under one roof.
