Blizzard Black Pearl 88 Skis 2024 // Women's

SIMPLY THE BEST.

We, like the rest of the ski industry, have put a lot of skiers on the Black Pearl 88's over the last bunch of seasons. It has been without question the best selling women's ski and honestly one of the best selling skis ever produced across the board. Considering how easy going this ski is at low speeds we weren't expecting our expert female testers to have this much fun and rave reviews about the Black Pearl 88, it was a pleasant surprise. We also thought that, because pro level skiers liked it, that would mean we'd lose some appeal from our intermediate level testers -- that simply isn't the case, they all loved it. Watching all the skiers test the Black Pearl 88 in comparison to other skis, it took them less turns to find their balance and their form was dramatically better. Good skis are good skis. Blizzard makes a really good ski.
