Black Pearl 88 Ski - 2026

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I've skied the Black Pearl 88 in just about every condition—ice, crud, even a few powder mornings—and it always impresses. It holds an edge beautifully, but it’s still easy to pivot and surf through softer snow. A truly versatile frontside ski that doesn't flinch when conditions change."

Whether carving through morning corduroy or dipping into off-piste glades, we reach for the Blizzard Black Pearl 88 when we want a ski that’s both approachable and high-performing. Built with a responsive 88mm waist and a versatile rocker-camber-rocker profile, it delivers edge hold and energy on hardpack, with enough float and forgiveness for variable terrain and afternoon crud.

The TrueBlend All Mountain core combines beech and poplar in a flex-tuned layup that varies by ski length, giving the ride a smooth, intuitive feel from tip to tail. A Titanal layer incorporated through W.S.D. FluxForm construction adds confidence and stability without overwhelming lighter skiers or compromising agility. Whether it’s your first season linking turns or your fiftieth chasing perfect lines, the Black Pearl 88 delivers ride-everywhere performance all season long.
