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.

Leo Cocchiara owns this product
The Blizzard Black Pearl is the best selling women's ski of all time and for good reason.
The Black Pearl's performance is satisfyingly classic in personality and suits a wide range of skiers from cautious intermediates to highly technical experts. It's just as happy a lower more casual speeds as it is a higher, more aggressive speeds. It's rockered tip... Read more

Bryant Leech tested this product
This is an expert level women's ski in every sense of the word expert. It demands precise form predicated on a forward stance. This is not a ski you can sit in the backseat at all and hope it will help you turn. This is a ski that requires YOU to make the turn and will not help you with... Read more
Ideal for
- This ski has unlimited stability at speed

Cat Leonowicz tested this product
I was amazed when riding this ski just how easy it was to maneuver and get around. This ski was easy to get on edge and initiate fast quick carved-around turns. The wood core made the ski pop around turns but able to float freely through a light layer of powder. I was additionally impressed that even with an 88... Read more

Terrific responsive ski
Posted on Jan 8, 2024Just returned to downhill skiing after 10 years. Now 69 yrs old. Skied today on not so perfect conditions, couldn’t have asked for a better ski to hold on the ice as well as groomed and some powder. Skied like I never missed a day.

Fantastic skis
Posted on Aug 28, 2023Took them out a few times this last winter and LOVED them. Great all around ski for me (medium advanced). I felt more in control, but they’re also light weight enough to fly pretty fast. Handled pow days as well as some spring slush conditions like a champ! Highly recommend for those that don’t live in a ski town and want something super versatile

I don't know much when it comes to snowboard gear and I was really hesitant to to pick out a few specific boards to try and decide between, but josh gave me a Hollar and was able to help me not only give me boards to decide between, but gave me recommendations between all the gear I will need. Josh is absolutely fantastic and deserves a raise.

Been looking to get some skis for a long time and I was hesitant to pull the trigger. Eventually, my new company offered me a wellness credit that included fitness and ski reimbursement. I came back to Curated and Jonathan updated my curation for me. Great experience as he was super knowledgeable and friendly.

GREAT all-around experience. Very helpful in helping me determine which route to go for a new board...after snowboarding for 30 years now. Austin was quick to respond throughout the numerous chat messages and he was very knowledgeable in helping me determine what board would accomplish what I was looking for. Thank you, Austin and Curated! Will definitely consider you guys again in the future.

Give Aimee more money!!!
5 /5
I have never heard of curated until I searched it up for the first time and had no idea that they match you with a REAL expert with years of experience. My experience with Aimee was fantastic and i’m not lying for the review. She was very helpful and friendly as I am new to all of it. We came to a conclusion about gear and prices and it all fit perfectly for me. I definitly hope more people get matched with her as she was a great help. Thanks again and I appreciate the great advice.

I had spent time and narrowed down my preferences, hopped on curated and Chris sent me a message almost instantly and he only ever took him a few minutes to respond. He provided me a variety of options that fit exactly with the preferences I had. He was kind and helped me find my perfect first set up within just a day and a half of messaging. He made the purchasing process a breeze, I will be recommending him and Curated to others.

I love that Curated puts you in touch with a real expert. I filled out the profile, quickly heard from Sarah and had a personalized list of snowboards to choose from. Having researched the boards, I found Sarah's comments and suggestions were spot on with what other riders stated about the recommended boards.

This was my first ever time buying ski’s and look guided me through it like he was a city tour guide. You cannot get a better person than Luke on curated. I was able to text him like he was a friend and ask question about certain skis and he would answer always in a great response quickly.
