With a women’s specific TrueBlend core, it is equal parts patience and power. It will venture off-piste for the first time or trench the hardpack for the ten millionth. Carve, surf, cruise or rip—the Black Pearl 88 is as dynamic as the women who ride it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe go-to model year after year for women skiers, the Blizzard Black Pearl 88 has undergone a complete overhaul. When your arcing turns on the groomers the tweaked True blend wood core maximizes stiffness and stability where needed, while being softer and more maneuverable at the tip and tail. With their own version of Flux form (first found in the Sheeva range) they have a full sheet of titanium that’s broken into three segments, 2 running along the edges and 1 underfoot, allowing the skis to be remarkably stable and damp while reducing the torsional rigidity for smooth turn initiation and release. With a slight increase in rocker tip and tail this keeps for a more responsive feel on firm snow while keeping a playful side that makes them so fun everywhere else on the mountain. Whether you’re in the mood to rip turns on-trail or put a few powder turns down the off-piste, the Black Pearl 88’s are sure to put a smile on your face.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e W.S.D.
