The Blizzard Black Pearl 98 Skis are a mild revision of the super popular Samba, with slightly wider tip and tail dimensions and a shorter turn radius, making the ski a bit more user-friendly and easier to turn. The 98 mm waist is a great choice for accomplished skiers looking for a ski to handle any conditions from hard groomers to a foot of powder.
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. Shape Concept – Traditional wide frontside sidecut with effortless radius gives this "Women's Specific Design" an edge. Forward mounting position for an easy turn initiation.
W.S.D. Light Poplar Beech Woodcore
Flip Core Technology – The famed Blizzard Flip Core process matches the core contour with the intended rocker profile so core and laminates act in harmony and don't require re-shaping in the mold.
Uni-Directional Carbon Frame
Multi-Directional Fiberglass Reinforced with Carbon
Binding Reinforcement 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
Dura-Tec – Improved durability through the use of thicker TPU foils on the topsheet edges.
We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.
