The Blizzard Black Pearl 82 Ski is an energetic all-mountain ski for intermediate to advanced skiers.
Key Features:
- 82mm Waist Width – At 82mm underfoot, the Black Pearl 88 will hold a nice edge on hard and groomed snow and will be quick edge-to-edge.
- Poplar Beech Core – Poplar and beech make for an energetic and responsive platform to ski on.
- Carbon – Added carbon improves both dampening and stability for better performance at speed or in variable snow.
- Rocker / Camber / Rocker Construction – Rocker in the tip and tail make for easy turn initiation and improved flotation, while camber underfoot ensures edge hold and stability at speed.

 It has a little bit of tip rise and not much tail rise. That's because this is mainly a frontside carver ski. It is in their all mountain free ride category, but when we talk about an 82 waist we're really talking about a groomer ski. Where I would take this again on groomers, on trail, you might be able to hit a little crud

 For anyone looking to improve, I think the Blizzard Black Pearl 82 is a great option. Check us out on SkiEssentials.com or follow us on YouTube for more information. Thanks

 Blizzard has a really nice tip shape that kind of goes over a lot of crud and crap when people ski off that two inches of powder that this ski is going to be able to handle and go over. It is also super light, as I said, there's no metal in there, so it's definitely going to be forgiving under the knees. Why work harder when you can play harder all day long on this? That's actually Blizzard's quote for the ski. When we talk about who the ski is for, we talk about a wide range of ladies

 Someone who's looking to improve their skiing, it's lightweight underfoot, you're going to be able to ski it all day. Again, that tip shape is going to help you get into the turn and you're going to be able to flex the ski under the foot and hold an edge. For anyone looking to improve, I think the Blizzard Black Pearl 82 is a great option. Check us out on SkiEssentials

Blizzard Black Pearl 82 - 2021 SkiEssentials.com Ski Test

For beginner/early intermediate skiers, some women's skis I recommend looking into are the Black Pearl 82 (it's heavily recommended and a best seller for a reason), the Volkl Flair 76, Blizzard Phoenix 7.2, the Head Absolut Joy. Out of those options the Black Pearl 82 would be the most versatile and would be the least likely to outgrow quickly.

Picked up a pair of women's Head Wild Joy skis for my wife who has never skied a day in her life. I went to a highly reputable ski shop in the SLC area and really trusted the employee who sold them to me. When I got home, I started doing research and learned that the Head Wild Joy is an expert-level ski. Reviews I read included words like, 'not forgiving', 'technical', etc. I kept mentioning to the guy that I thought they felt stiff af. Turns out they are a 9/10 stiffness. 

Should I return them? Will they really be THAT hard to learn on? My wife absolutely loves them for the color.

Did I get finessed by my ski shop (women skis)?

 And then looking at the tails, very minimal but just a little bit of splay so nice for turn initiation and just general maneuverability. And these skis also have a 12.5 turn radius so very small short turn radius so it's great for quick snappy turns and that's what makes them really great for when you're in the trees or bumps, just really capable of quickly moving with you. So I would say that these skis are geared towards a wide range of skiers really who want a narrower ski, one that is just approachable, doesn't require a lot of effort, you don't become fatigued super easily, just a really fun well-balanced ski with a really nice top sheet as well

 So this one is 82 underfoot as the name says, so pretty narrow but still has a lot of all mountain capabilities. Very forgiving, responsive ski with an intuitive feel. So just a really balanced, well-rounded ski that's approachable and maneuverable, offers playful agility like I was saying and has maximum edge grip. So as far as construction goes, true blend wood core with carbon in the tips and tails and metal underfoot

So as far as construction goes, true blend wood core with carbon in the tips and tails and metal underfoot. So what that does really is distributes the flex appropriately in the ski so you have maximum stability underfoot and then the playful feel in the tips and tails. It just ends up being very maneuverable and it just is great for all mountain, all conditions and terrain bumps and trees, just able to really bop around and go with the motions

 Right here in front of me I have the Blizzard Black Pearl 82. This is the narrowest version of the Black Pearl family, very notable line of skis, a lot of fans of the Black Pearl.

If she wants a ski that is truly aimed at all mountain performance, which can carve and progressing her skiing, regardless of top sheet, I'd prioritize:. * Blizzard Black Pearl - made by women, designed by women, skied by top women skiers and accessible at any level. I suggest the 82, most people get the 88.

My girlfriend has been skiing for 3 years and is still a beginner, French fries on green and blues pizza on steeper blues and blacks. We are looking for a new pair of skis that would make carving easier in West coast snow but the deciding factor is the graphics. We have found a few graphics on powder skis she likes but nothing on a standard groomer ski (85-95 under foot). We have been looking at armada, jskis, and Icelandic but does anyone have any other ski company suggestions that would tailer to a women's graphic?
Thanks!

<p>Edit after reading a few comments.
First of all thank you for the suggestions we&#39;ll take a look!!
I might not of understood the correct term of carving. We are looking for a ski that will be easier to initiate and get out of turn. Really a beginner-intermediate ski. If I had my choice it would be a set of Head rentals. 
We ski primarily at big white and the snow gets hard to push through at the end of the day even without snow overnight. Everyone I ski with skis 95-105 underfoot but that might not be the right size for her. I want a width that isnt too wide to take away from skiing on a normal day but is wide enough that it won&#39;t tire her out when 5-10cm fall over 24hours. Assumed this would be 85-95
Lastly I hear you all when you say the top sheet isn&#39;t how you choose a ski and I 100% agree. But she correlates looking good with feeling good and in turn skiing good. I know if she like her skis she will ski more and they will make her a better skiier then a perfect pair of skis that she doesnt enjoy riding would.. if you know how to convince her otherwise let me know!</p>

Women's skis with cool graphic

 It's super fast, super carby. It's a lot of fun. Blizzard put in its light core technology, so it actually uses carbon to strengthen up your ski, give you a lot more power, but reduce the weight significantly. You get the the rocker in the tip in the tail, so you get a late-day conditions where it's a little bit of cruddy and slushed up, you get softer snow

 Hey, Katie here, just got done riding the Blizzard Black Pearl 82 women's ski. This is a dedicated frontside intermediate advanced intermediate ripper of a ski. It's super fast, super carby. It's a lot of fun

 This thing's gonna plow and put you right out of it. Let's see. The carving is great. The turn initiation was amazing

The Blizzard Black Pearl 82 is a great option for intermediate to advanced level Women who spend most of their time on the groomers. W.S.D Carbon Flipcore Technology is the production process of matching the famous Flipcore with the rocker profile, so the laminates and core act as one avoiding re shaping in a mold. The Uni Directional Carbon Frame gives a lot of rebounded energy to keep your momentum when powering out of carves. A Fiberglass layer adds to the stiffness of the ski without adding too much weight to the ski. Effortless steering with a forward mounting position and a traditionally wider frontside cut thanks to the W.S.D Carbon Flipcore Technology. The Black Pearl gains a lot of torsional stiffness with the Sandwich Compound Sidewall enhancing steering and overall control. Get outside and shred the frontside with the Black Pearl 82 from Blizzard

Kaity's Review-Blizzard Black Pearl 82 Skis 2021-Skis.com

* Blizzard Brahama 82 or 84 - best affordable, expert-made, advanced all mountain ski for most skiers. * Volkl Deacon 84 (a really nice, really high performance all mountain ski) - maybe the best budget, high end, professional-level, all mountain ski.

Strong rider who enjoys the trees and most untouched areas at resorts. I am coming off rustler 9’s which i love. I ski all over and need a quiver of 1. I ride fairly hard, and enjoy hitting natural features. Im looking at Black crow justis or camox, rustler 10’s, enforcer 100’s, or anything in that category. The black crows look pretty sick to me tho. Any suggestions? Not sure on more playful or damp skis?

Ski Reco Needed: Tree skiier, side hits, finding the most untouched runs at resorts

 Blizzard is doing a great job with their women's skis. They have a program called Women to Women. Ali can you tell us a little bit about it? So the Women to Women project is an initiative through Blizzard Technica where they have women designing their skis, testing their products from the first idea through production. And this is really different for any other ski company because men are usually the ones designing our skis

 So pretty cool ski from Blizzard. The Black Pearl collection as a whole and maybe the Black Pearl 88 specifically have been exceptionally popular in the past few years. Black Pearl 88 is actually the best selling women's ski on the market total. I think like three years running or something like that

 Ali what do we got going on in these skis? So the women to women have come up with this women specific carbon flip core which is a unidirectional carbon fiber that's integrated into the light wood core. This light wood core is only used in the women's lineup not the men's and this unidirectional carbon fiber is also specific to the women's lineup. It creates a little less torsional stiffness. It allows the ski more flexibility and ease of turn for us ladies

2020 Blizzard Black Pearl 82 Women's Ski Review - YouTube

Looking for a new pair of skis, woman, intermediate (I think?), 5'9, 165 lb.  Mostly ski groomers, and it gets icy here... end up in the woods a little chasing the kids. Currently using a pair of hand-me-downs that are too short so it is time to get something new.  
I've been looking at some demos on sale online (as I don't want to spend a fortune) and am wondering if anyone has an opinions on the following:  
Armada ARW 86  
Black Crows Captis Birdie  
Elan Ripstick 88  
Armada Victa 87 TI  
Or let me know if there is something else you would recommend. Thanks for any feedback!!
