The Blizzard Black Pearl 88 is an all-mountain frontside ski designed for women who want a responsive ride on groomed slopes and a bit of freedom to explore softer snow. With an 88 mm waist, it strikes a balance between stability at speed and agility when you need to weave through varied terrain.
This ski features a traditional sidecut—127 mm at the tip, 88 mm underfoot and 109 mm at the tail—that delivers precise edge hold and smooth turn-to-turn transitions. Weighing in at 1610 g per ski (164 cm), it’s relatively light for its class, helping to reduce fatigue over a full day on the hill and offering a playful, lively feel. The flat binding setup makes it easy to fit your preferred binding system without any proprietary constraints.
A 14 m turn radius means the ski naturally wants to carve medium-radius turns: it’s tight enough for quick initiation yet long enough to stay stable at higher speeds. The sidecut dimensions refer to the ski’s width at the tip, waist and tail—wider ends for grip and flotation, narrowing underfoot for nimble edge changes.
