Beloved for its versatility and trusted by women everywhere, the Blizzard Black Pearl 88 continues its reign as one of the most capable all-mountain skis ever built. Designed for the way women truly ski—fluid, adaptive, intuitive—it blends confidence with creativity, letting you choose the kind of day you want to have. Explore new terrain, carve trenches into morning corduroy, weave through trees, or bounce between groomers and mixed snow. The Black Pearl 88 shines in every scenario.
Its TrueBlend Woodcore, engineered specifically for women, layers beech and poplar stringers with remarkable precision. The result: a flex profile that feels stable and powerful underfoot, yet smooth, forgiving, and approachable at the tip and tail. The W.S.D. FluxForm construction supports that confidence with targeted Titanal reinforcement—enough to keep you stable when the speed picks up, without losing the playful energy that makes this ski so fun.
With Early Rise rocker in the tip and tail and camber underfoot, the Black Pearl 88 pivots easily, holds a clean edge on firm snow, and surfs through softer patches without hesitation. Whether you're progressing your skills or already exploring every corner of the mountain, this ski adapts to you—your terrain, your style, and your momentum. It's equal parts joy, freedom, and trust.
