Description
The Blizzard Black Pearl 88 is one of the world's best-selling and most acclaimed All-Mountain women's skis. It is renowned as the ultimate one-ski quiver for female skiers who spend most of their time on the groomers, but who also explore the side of the piste and occasional fresh snow.
1. Key Features
| Feature | Typical Specification | Role |
| Category | All-Mountain / Piste Performance | Designed to primarily excel on the groomers and hard snow, but capable of handling varied conditions. |
| Waist | 88 mm (approx.) | This is the ideal width for groomer/off-piste versatility. It is narrow enough to be fast and grippy on hard snow, and wide enough to offer good flotation in 10-15 cm of fresh snow. |
| Target Audience | Advanced intermediate to expert female skiers (looking for a reliable and high-performing daily ski). | |
| Profile | Rocker - Camber - Rocker | Camber underfoot for power and grip. Moderate rocker in the tips and tails to facilitate turn initiation and planing in soft snow. |
| Turn Radius | 14 m to 15 m (depending on size) | A moderate radius that favors medium turns and makes it easy to vary between short and long turns, making it playful and versatile. |
2. Unique Technologies (W.S.D.)
The Black Pearl 88 incorporates Blizzard's technologies developed by its women's team, Women2Women:
-
W.S.D. TrueBlend Woodcore:
The wood core is strategically designed with three different wood densities throughout the length of the ski. Stiff wood is placed underfoot for power, and softer woods are at the extremities.
Result: The ski is powerful and stable where it needs to be, but it is easy to maneuver and forgiving at the end of the turn.
-
Carbon Flipcore Technology:
A construction where the core is molded to follow the ski's rocker. Bidirectional carbon layers are integrated directly above the core.
Result: This gives the ski the stability and torsional rigidity typical of Blizzard, while keeping it surprisingly lightweight for its performance.
3. In Summary
The Black Pearl 88 is a ski that excels in stability and grip on hard snow, while being lightweight and not exhausting to ski all day. It is the go-to choice for female skiers who want a reliable, precise, and energetic ski to dominate the ski area.
