When it comes to women's all-mountain skis, you'd have to be living in a snow cave the last few years not to have heard of the Black Pearl series. The Blizzard Black Pearl 94 is the most versatile for all-mountain conditions as the widest sister in the series. From groomers to back bowls, the Black Pearl 94 is engineered to handle wherever you're skiing on the mountain that day.
The old Black Pearl 97 felt disconnected from the rest of the lineup, whereas the new 94 is very much a continuation of the narrower sister skis. The updated construction includes a new metal sheet split into two layers. That delivers the shock absorption and stability of metal, with a less torsionally rigid platform, keeping the ski lively and easier to ski in tight terrain. Despite getting a little more rocker than her predecessor, the Black Pearl 94 is still decidedly directional in shape. On snow, that translates to superior edge hold and predictability when conditions are firm and for carving hard on groomed terrain. Compared to other metal-infused all-mountain skis, we find the Black Pearl 94 to be more lively and energetic, while still providing the support needed for fast skiing. We recommend the Black Pearl 94 to any lady shredder who likes to ski fast, prioritizes a lively ride, and wants a more directional, frontside-inspired feel in their all-terrain ski.
