The Blizzard Black Pearl 97 Skis are one of the seven wonders of the ski industry. They're strong, precise, and stable enough to satisfy the best skiers on the mountain, including several of our testers who identify as male and consider themselves strong skiers. They're also easy enough to not intimidate skiers who don't charge quite as hard and don't spend their entire offseason in training. At 97mm underfoot, the Black Pearl 97 delivers a superb balance between groomed and fresh snow performance, and it's plain to see why so many accomplished all-mountain skiers have made them their everyday ski.
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.
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 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.
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.
W.S.D. Carbon-Reinforced Fiberglass
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
We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.
