The best keeps getting better with the brand new Blizzard Black Pearl 88. Same name, new design, with even more legendary all mountain performance. The new Women's Specific Design with a Trublend core and Titanal frame have taken lessons learned from the Blizzard Sheeva and applied them to the new Black Pearl. This produces a ski that can still hold on hard pack while still being fun off piste! The 88 width is the perfect blend of mixed snow performance while still being nimble edge to edge.
Rocker Type
Rocker Camber Rocker – Ski profile with rocker at the tip and tail, camber in the middle. Reducing the pressure on the edge at the tip and tail makes the ski even easier to handle and increases flotation on powder snow. The camber guarantees great grip on packed snow.
Core
TrueBlend W.S.D. All Mountain Core – TrueBlend core of Beech with seven stringers of Poplar, tailor-made for each length of ski, using lighter Women's Specific Design woods.
Laminates
Two-Piece W.S.D. Titanal Laminate for Grip and Stability – No longer a single sheet of Titanal, the 2025 Black Pearl uses a two-piece laminate with a sheet of fiberglass in between the layers. The upper layer of metal resembles the shape of the FluxForm Titanal layer in the Sheeva skis and the lower layer fills in the gap in the center.
Sidewalls
Sandwich Compound Sidewall – All Blizzard skis with the exception of some junior skis are built with ABS or Phenol sidewalls for superior performance (stability, power transmission, handling) and durability.
Base
Sintered Graphite Base
