The Blizzard Black Pearl 88 Skis with Bindings is the combination that feels right at home all over the mountain. At 88-millimeters underfoot, is very quick edge to edge, thanks in part to positive camber underfoot. The Black Pearl 88 uses a rocker-camber-rocker profile that gives the ski exceptional versatility in a myriad of snow conditions. Early rise in the tips helps the forebody of the ski track straight though chop and chunder while providing just enough to float to get by when the snow gets soft. Camber underneath the boot helps the ski grip through carved turns on the piste, and a nearly flat tail offers the power needed to finish carves through the full radius of the turn. Blizzard uses TrueBlend wood core technology that uses vertically laminated wood of varied density in the core to create a ski that flexes firmer underfoot and softer towards the ends of the ski. Titanal metal and unidirectional carbon laminates in the tip and tails keep this ski calm through harsh snow conditions and warp speeds but don’t be fooled, this ski is pretty stiff and needs a capable driver to make it come alive to its full potential. Ladies, if oyu are the type of skier who likes to charge the front side and ski everything from groomers, to bumps, to trees and steeps, then the Blizzard Black Pearl 88 Skis with Bindings is right in your wheel house.
