Expert verdict

The Blizzard Black Pearl 97 Skis are a dream for any adventurous skier looking for all-mountain and freeride performance across all terrains and conditions. With their TrueBlend Flipcore design, they offer a perfect balance of power, stability, and float. I love how they handle groomers with precision and tackle chopped-up crud effortlessly. They reward advanced skiers who ski with strong technique, who know how to use their edges and tails to drive the ski. The flat tail gives you that extra push out of turns, while the rockered tip makes powder days a breeze. It's an energetic charger that's sure to thrill.

Cat Leonowicz tested this product
One of my favorite parts about riding this ski was how on a day with changing conditions it was still able to perform so reliably. I took this ski from an icy groomer hard pack into some off-piste trees and was able to glide and carve around with ease. I even took the ski into some powder and had such... Read more

We started looking at a new ski set starting last year and here we are a year later and I have my gear on the way. Luke was able to guide me through sizing new boots, answer all my questions, and recommend just what I needed. Finally going to be back on my own skis this year, sooo excited! Thanks Luke

Spencer was so helpful and kind to me. As a first time rider I was very nervous about getting the right gear that would fit me and be good for me as a beginner. Without hesitation Spencer has sent me a curated list that I completely loved and agreed with. All of his recommendations fit my criteria perfectly and when I asked for some else or something different he got it to me within a matter of seconds. I would recommend Spencer to literally anyone. Fast, knowledgeable, and kind. Absolutely loved him and makes me want to get out there even more!! 100/10

I have been conversing with Ken for over a year he would curate me a set up and I’d just ghost him. Well today I finally made the purchase and I feel confident he helped me choose the correct set up for my specific needs, and challenges. Plus he always recommended cost effective choices without the helmet my set up would have been under $600 which is killer because I got suckered into a blemed demo board 2 yrs ago that I paid $550 for just the board. Thank you Ken! I should be a pro soon if not it’s his fault! ;)

Really appreciated Taylor's willingness to listen and learn my ride style/life style to recommend a board that would suit me for this season of life. I've ridden rental boards for years and it was time to commit to my own rig. He had first hand experience on many of the boards I was considering and every bit of advice helped steer me into what I think will be the best board for me. Stoked for it to arrive and get it out on the mountain! Thanks for everything, Taylor!

This is my first board purchase and I had done a lot of research but making the final decision was daunting. Scott was super helpful, understood what would work for my skill level, and I'm suuuuper excited about what I ended up getting. It wasn't what I had in my cart initially but he gave great recommendations with lots of options. Can't wait to get on the mountain!!
