Black Pearl 88 Skis 2027Blue / 146cm Sale price$799.99 CAD

Product Details

The Black Pearl 88 is designed to feel composed without becoming demanding. Its women’s-specific TrueBlend All Mountain woodcore uses carefully varied wood densities to create a firmer centre and softer tip and tail, giving the ski a supportive platform underfoot with easier power release at the ends. That balance makes it approachable for improving skiers, while still leaving room to ski with more pace and intention.

An early-rise tip and tail surround 6 mm of camber underfoot, so the ski can settle into a carve on hardpack and stay versatile when the surface changes. Three women’s-specific titanal pieces add stability at speed while preserving the Black Pearl’s playful character. Full ABS sidewalls complete the construction, with lengths from 146 to 176 cm to suit different skiers and turn preferences.

A forgiving flex pattern

The woodcore is denser through the middle and softer toward the ends, helping the ski feel steady beneath your feet while making turn exits less abrupt and more manageable.
