The Blizzard Black Pearl 82 Skis occupy a unique niche in the ski world as an option with the ability to delight expert level skiers while not overwhelming newer followers of the sport. Calm and precise on edge, but without the unforgiving nature of some pure carving skis, the Black Pearl 82 is a winner for a wide range of front side skiers.
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.
W.S.D. (Woman Specific Design) Shape Concept – Carbon Flipcore Technology is used with a specifically designed lighter core construction to deliver the performance and playfulness that women are looking for in an all-mountain ski.
Carbon Flipcore Technology – A revolutionary rockered ski production process that incorporates a uni-directional carbon frame onto the core of the ski that results in great performance with a light and easy feel.
TrueBlend Woodcore – Combining Beech and Poplar woods in a uniquely balanced blend that's tailored to the performance needs of each Blizzard all-mountain ski, the TrueBlend cores are labor-intensive but worth the extra effort.
Carbon Reinforcements – Edge-to-edge carbon inserts under the binding mount area provide maximum stability and confidence and better binding retention.
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.
Anti-Shock Layer
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

The Look SPX 10 GW Ski Bindings are user-friendly bindings for rippin' groms or smaller adults. The SPX heel piece offers the famed elasticity of a Look binding but in a lighter weight for those who don't need a crazy high DIN rating. It gives you reliable retention to keep you in the saddle when you need to be and let you go when you need to save your knees.
Full Drive Concept Toe Piece – The FDC toe piece offers a lighter weight design with best-in-class elastic travel and 180⁰ multi-directional release delivering reliable retention and release for confident alpine performance.
180˚ Multi-Directional Release – A true mechanical upward release that functions independently from the heel for the most effective multi-directional protection in the case of a fall.
Dual Standard Concept (ISO 5355 Alpine and GripWalk) – Look strategically reinforced the toe housing, increased the toe ramp, elongated the toe-wings, and created a toe that is compatible with both ISO 5355 Alpine and GripWalk soles.
Toe Lateral Elasticity – 45 mm
SPX Heel Piece – LOOK's SPX heel design offers 27mm of elastic travel for best-in-class shock absorption, confident retention, and a significant reduction in unwanted prerelease. An oversize heel pivot increases coupling strength (boot-binding interface) for more efficient power transmission.
Elastic Travel – 27 mm
Long Elasticity – Longer elastic travel ensures more reliable retention to keep you in when you need. LOOK bindings offer the most elastic travel (lateral and vertical) and the fastest re-centering prior to release, ensuring superior shock absorption to reduce unwanted pre-release.

The Salomon S/Pro MV 90 Ski Boots undergo a very minor name change (they realized every alpine Salomon boot was called S/Pro and wanted to call out the medium volume) but the best-selling fit, design, and even colorway remain. For average width feet and many wider ones, the S/Pro Custom Shell HD fit is the gold standard, and that trend isn't slowing down. The 90 flex continues to be the best-seller in the range and is suitable for most intermediate to advanced skiers.
Last: 100 mm – An average last for that can be expanded to accommodate wider feet.
Custom Shell HD – Salomon's proven heat molding process makes boot fitting most feet quick and easy - the latest Custom Shell HD version is even quicker to mold than before. The thinner wall construction and new shell materials allow the foot to be closer to the shell and provide enhanced sensations, more power and direction energy transmission.
Flex: 90 – A medium-stiff flex for intermediate to advanced skiers.
Sense Amplifier Cuff – Cuff design promotes quicker rebound and better snow feel. 2 Position strap lets you select the level of power and rebound.
My Custom Fit 3D Seamless Performance Liner – Those pesky seams you feel on your little toes? They're gone in the pre-shaped and seamless S/Max and S/Pro liners, and you'll be happy they're a thing of the past. Improves comfort, precision and ensures a warmer fit.
Women's Liner – Women's liner with an anatomic tongue made of highly moldable foams provides better shin and instep comfort in sensitive foot zones.
Core-Frame Construction – A thinner walled Sensitive Shell is reinforced by the Core-Frame element that runs under the midfoot from maleolus to maleolus and stiffens the shell where you drive the ski with a minimum of added weight. Delivers precise terrain feedback and maximum power transmission to the edges.
Shell – Polyurethane with Fiberglass Coreframe
Cuff – Polyurethane
Forward Lean – 12.5°
Oversized Pivot – The riveted Oversized Pivot ensures perfect power transmission between cuff and shell.
4 Micro-Adjustable Aluminum 3D Buckles – Choose from 3 different positions of the instep buckle for optimum in-step comfort, full customization and personalized foot hold.
35mm Sense Power Strap
GripWalk ISO 23223 Outsoles – Removable and interchangeable rockered soles designed to work with GripWalk binding systems for better grip and comfort while walking, standing, and hiking.
