Blizzard Black Pearl 84 Skis 2025

This is the new Blizzard Black Pearl 84, a fresh take on the beloved Black Pearl name, exclusively available for early release at Ellis Brigham for the 24.25 season. The 84 is the slimmest in the range at 84mm under foot, delivering a nimble agile feel and making it a top pick for hard snow enthusiast who want some versatility too. The latest Black Pearl range showcases the Women’s Specific Design Fluxform Titinal construction paired with the innovative True Blend core. This combination marks a significant evolution from previous Black Pearls, offering more secure edge hold and ease of use that makes carving on piste effortless and super smooth. Its slightly narrower design ensures a seamless transition from edge to edge while carving down groomed trails. Thanks to the All Conditions Rocker Tech, the Black Pearl 84 gracefully engages into turns and releases out, whilst dealing with cruddy or chopped-up snow too. In essence, this is the perfect choice for skiers who love to spend time on piste but also enjoy a run or two away from the corduroy.

Terrain Type & Ability Level

Terrain Type
A nimble performer on hardpack yet offering stability at the same time. It’s less about off-piste skiing and more about carving up the groomers and handling mixed conditions with ease. The rocker profile and camber height are designed to offer a balance of power and playfulness, making it a great choice for those who primarily ski on groomed runs but occasionally venture into more challenging conditions.

Skier Type
Ideal for proficient skiers who prefer groomed runs, value stability and versatility over specialized piste models, and enjoy executing longer, open turns rather than quick, tight carves, yet still want an easy-to-manoeuvre shape when needed and conditions get trickier.

Overview

Shape
At 84mm under foot and offering a slightly shoreter sidecut radius than the 88mm versions, they give a more nimble feel on hardpack and excel in providing increased stability on variable terrain, especially when compared to narrower piste skis. The updated rocker profile incorporates an energetic camber for a lively feel and enhanced grip, but generous amounts of rocker make them a versatile choice for those who primarily ski on groomed runs but occasionally venture into more challenging conditions.

Rocker
All Conditions Rocker - updated for 24/25 models, they feature an enhanced rocker profile for easy turn initiation and versatility, with shorter contact lengths due to deeper rocker lines, but increased camber height for more energetic turns.

Core
Blizzard’s Anomaly skis employ a Trueblend wood core of poplar and beech for optimal stiffness and swing weight along its length, enhanced by two Titinal laminate layers for performance and dampening. Each size features a unique design for optimal performance.

Construction
Full sidewall produces direct and strong power transmission for the best control.

Key Features

Fluxform construction
Blizzard’s women-specific Fluxform construction incorporates a single layer of Titinal, positioned above the core. This layer is divided into two parts: an outer section closer to the ski’s edges beneath the topsheet, and a central beam aligned with the ski’s core. Below the core, there’s a layer of carbon fiber-reinforced fiberglass, enhancing performance without the weight of a metal laminate. This design results in a ski that balances power and dampness, providing a robust yet forgiving freeride feel.
