Looking for that Black Pearl magic but want a little more width? We got you. The Black Pearl 97 is like the best of all worlds, offering power, stability, and float in a performance-minded all-terrain ski. The award-winning TrueBlend Flipcore is configured with a Women’s specific design that has been female tested and approved within our Women2Women program. It carves groomers with perfection, charges through chopped-up crud like a boss, and makes challenging snow conditions feel like no big deal. When the big mountains are calling, the Black Pearl 97 is your confidence-building go-to.
- These skis combine input from the Blizzard Women to Women panel, real-world testing and next-level Austrian engineering
- As the widest of the Black Pearl series, the platform allows you to ski big mountain conditions and softer snow—while still providing confidence and stability on hardpack
- With TrueBlend Flipcore W.S.D. (Women’s Specific Design), the Black Pearl 97 also carves groomers with perfection
- Versatile sidecut and a reduced rocker profile keep you skiing confidently, even on less-than-perfect days
- TrueBlend Woodcore precisely controls flex throughout the length of the ski, with a softer tip and tail that keep you nimble, whichever size you ride
- Denser wood underfoot acts like a gas pedal, giving you power and drive when you want to charge
- Each ski length uses the same core but is constructed differently for balanced flex, which allows skiers to maneuver through variable terrain and conditions with less effort
