2023 Blizzard Black Pearl 97 Women’s Skis w/ Salomon Warden 11 MNC Bindings (153)

The Blizzard Black Pearl 97 Skis with Bindings are designed for women by women skiers who know a few things about design and function. Blizzard is using what it calls TrueBlend wood core, a vertical lamination technique that allows variable density wood stringers to be precisely placed along the length of the ski. The end product is a ski that exhibits a predictable, rounded flex, specifically designed for the purpose of the given ski. In terms of on-snow feel, more pliability in the tips and tails will make the Black Pearl 97 initiate turns easier than ever before, encouraging face-melting carved turns across the fall line. A tight 15-meter turn radius in the 165 length brings a piste-centric feeling to what is true and all-mountain, go-anywhere machine. Rockered tips keep the ski feeling floaty and strong through less-than-ideal snow conditions. We like to say that mid to upper 90’s waist width is the “Goldi Locks” zone for all mountain versatility, and the Black Pearl 97 delivers on this statement. TrueBlend tech means that the Black Pearl 97 can now satisfy a wider range of skiers, from intermediates to aggressive experts. A thinner waist and an extended mounting plate round out the technology, making the Black Pearl smooth and damp through a variety of turn shapes, conditions, and speeds. The most powder-savvy option in the Black Pearl series, the Black Pearl 97 Skis with Bindings is ideal for any lady ripper who prefers a directional style in an easy-skiing, high-performing package
