The Blizzard Black Pearl 88 Skis have been a fan favorite for many years, and there's no sign of a letup. Smooth, balanced, and supremely capable in variable conditions, they offer a versatile ride that won't let you down on firmer snow, or at faster speeds. And that's not all. This year the Black Pearl 88 has been redesigned with input from Blizzard's trailblazing Women 2 Women project, engineered with a women's specific TrueBlend Flipcore layup that allows you to squeeze the juice out of every run.
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.
TrueBlend W.S.D. Core – TrueBlend core of Beech with seven stringers of Poplar, tailor-made for each length of ski, using lighter Women's Specific Design woods.
W.S.D. Carbon-Reinforced Fiberglass
W.S.D. Titanal Laminate for Grip and Stability
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.
Sintered Graphite Base
