Blizzard Black Pearl 97 Ski - 2024 - Women's Wine Bordeaux, 177cm

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: ""The Black Pearl 97 gives me confidence no matter what the day throws at me. It’s strong enough to charge hard on firm snow, but still pivots easily when I want to smear turns or dip into trees. The Titanal layer keeps chatter down at speed, and the 97mm waist makes it versatile enough to take anywhere.""Who It’s For Intermediate to Expert All-Mountain Skiers: This ski is designed for women who want one setup that handles everything from icy mornings to fresh snow. It’s best for confident riders who appreciate stability and edge grip at speed but still want the agility to navigate moguls, trees, and variable terrain. What It’s For All-Mountain Versatility with Big-Mountain Backbone: With a 97mm waist, the Black Pearl balances soft-snow float with frontside power. Its rocker/camber/rocker profile makes it versatile across groomers, powder stashes, and off-piste lines, while the shorter turning radius adds maneuverability in tight spots. Why We Like It Powerful, Forgiving, and Proven: We like how the Black Pearl combines a poplar/beech wood core with Titanal laminate reinforcement, creating a ski that’s stable, damp, and confidence-inspiring. The steel edges bite into hardpack, the sintered base runs smooth and fast, and the lightweight build keeps it approachable for long days across the mountain."
