Blizzard Black Pearl 84 Alpine Ski

The Blizzard Black Pearl 84 Alpine Ski is a women's frontside ski for skiers who spend most of the day on groomers and firm snow and want quick, precise edge changes. Blizzard's 24/25 rebuild gives it a poplar and beech core with partial titanal and carbon and fiberglass, and the 84 mm waist puts the metal close to the edges where it adds grip. At 124.5-84-107.5 mm and 1,590 g per ski in the 164, with a 14 m radius on the 170, the Black Pearl 84 carves short turns from first chair to last.
