{"product_id":"blizzard-tecnica-black-pearl-88","title":"BLIZZARD Black Pearl 88","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Black Pearl 88 is Blizzard's flagship women's all-mountain ski, and for 25\/26 it carries the W.S.D. TrueBlend woodcore — a blend of beech and poplar with high-density stringers that tune flex on purpose: stiffer through the midsection for edge power, softer toward the tips so the ski doesn't punish you at the end of a long run. The metal here gets mislabeled constantly, so be clear on it: this is FluxForm Single Titanal, not two full sheets and not \"double titanal.\" It's one sheet's worth of titanal split into three segments — two strips along the edges and one down the center — and those segments sit in two layers with fiberglass between them, the center strip in one layer and the edge strips in the other. The point of breaking the metal up that way is that an unbroken sheet would lock down torsional flex and make the ski stubborn to roll out of a turn; the segmented layout keeps the damping and edge grip titanal is known for while letting the ski release cleanly when you move to the next turn. Tip and tail rocker lift the contact points so turn initiation comes easy, and camber underfoot keeps the edge loaded through the arc. On snow it's confident on hardpack, soaks up chatter without drama, and holds a real carved turn when you put pressure into it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a ski for women who can already link parallel turns on blue and black groomers with real edge control and want to start poking off-piste without giving up the carving they enjoy — solid intermediates moving into more terrain and advancing skiers who want something to grow into over several seasons. It is not a true-beginner ski: there's a partial titanal plate underfoot and it rewards a skier who drives the edge rather than rides it passively. It ships flat, so pair it with your own binding. Who should skip it: if you stay on groomed cruisers at a mellow pace and want something light and forgiving, the Black Pearl 88 is more ski than you need — the Black Pearl 84 is 4mm narrower, a touch quicker edge-to-edge, and friendlier in that lane. And if ungroomed terrain or Western powder days are the priority, the Black Pearl 94 gives you 6mm more underfoot for float and handles variable snow more easily without giving up much on the groomers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWaist Width\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e88mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSidecut\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e127.5 \/ 88 \/ 109.5mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e~2,900g per pair\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCore\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eW.S.D.
