Blizzard Black Pearl 88 2018 Ski Review

The little sister to the Black Pearl 98, the Blizzard Black Pearl 88 2018 is all mountain versatility at its finest. You can take this ski anywhere on the mountain and it will be sure to unleash your skiing potential.

Lightweight, it is very easy to turn on or off piste. The Black Pearl 88’s sandwich-compound sidewall construction allows it good edge hold as well as increasing its durability. We definitely felt this in our testing. The edge hold is particularly great and makes this ski hugely enjoyable for those who love to carve.

The Blizzard Black Pearl 88 keeps you in balance and allows you to easily roll from edge to edge no matter which turn shape you choose. The poplar-beech wood core keeps the ski nice and stable, allowing you to really get stuck into your turns whether on or off piste.

Off piste, the 88mm waist and tip and tail rockers, the Black Pearl floats across powder beautifully.

This ski is truly versatile and enjoyable to ride in all conditions, inspiring a confidence in your abilities that will allow you to progress to the highest level of your abilities. This ski is also extremely durable, making it a sensible purchase that would be well worth the money.

This is definitely the ski to choose if you are looking for a more piste orientated all mountain ski. Not only does the Blizzard Black Pearl 88 feel great, it looks great too. With a striking pink and blue design and a very reasonable price tag, this will definitely be a popular choice for female skiers this season.
