The Curated Take
These skis were genuinely one of the best that I demoed in the 21/22 season! They can do a little bit of everything and handle it all with ease. I tested them on the East Coast (mainly Vermont) and they handle a variety of conditions (man-made, powder and ice) equally well. The Black Pearl 88 are absolute carving machines! They hold an edge incredibly well and will initiate turns on a dime. These are highly recommended for any intermediate to advanced lady shredder looking to add a can-do-all ski to their collection!
- Carving machine
- Stable at high speeds
- Good at basically everything
- Skis are on the heavier side
If you are looking for a ski that rips on groomers and cuts through crud but won’t bog you down in fresh snow, the Black Pearl 88 is your tried and true. The 88mm-waisted ski provides an unmatched level of versatility for intermediate to advanced skiers but is also strong enough for expert skiers who like to up the ante. Each ski is specifically designed by size to give that individual skier the experience they’re after, whether it’s casual cruising or laying it down. The TrueBlend Flipcore with a Women's Specific Design provides stability and strength, with a sidecut that can easily rotate between short, medium or long radius turns. Click in, have some fun and show 'em who's boss.
