The Blizzard Black Pearl 88 Skis get a makeover alongside the rest of Blizzard's all mountain freeride lineup this year. The most notable change is a brand new TrueBlend Wood Core, giving this all mountain dynamo an even silkier smooth flex. But overall, the famed and feared pirate ship remains the same. She glides over the groomers with style and grace, cuts through choppy seas with ease, and still has enough to keep you afloat when you find some hidden treasure leftover from the last storm.
