The 2027 Blizzard Black Pearl 94 is a versatile freeride-leaning all-mountain ski with a 94-mm waist and W.S.D. construction. Built around the Trueblend All Mountain woodcore with two sheets of titanal, it's a daily driver for skiers who want real soft-snow capability without giving up carving precision on harder days.

Why we like it:

There's a balance to the Black Pearl 94 that's hard to engineer. It floats through soft snow with the kind of ease that makes a powder day feel less like work, and it still carves cleanly enough that the morning lap on the groomer doesn't feel like a compromise. Most all-mountain 94s lean one direction or the other; this one genuinely does both.

Who it's for:

Advanced through expert skiers who want a versatile, freeride-leaning all-mountain ski. Especially well-suited to deeper-snow regions, traveling skiers who want one ski for everything, and anyone who skis powder more than groomers but still wants a ski that carves with intent.

Highlights:

The Trueblend All Mountain woodcore is the heart of this ski. Blizzard pairs harder beech in the high-stress zones with softer poplar through the tip and tail, then tunes the layup with W.S.D. construction to match women-specific weight, leverage, and stance. Two sheets of titanal sit in the layup for damping and edge stability, and FluxForm All Mountain handles the proprietary structural layer that knits everything into a clean, predictable flex pattern. The rocker profile combines a rockered tip and tail with camber underfoot, giving the ski real soft-snow capability and easy pivot in tight terrain while keeping enough edge contact to carve cleanly when conditions firm up. Vibration-dampening rubber at the contact points adds a smooth, planted feel that holds up across mixed conditions, even when the snow underneath stops cooperating. The ski shares its construction lineage with the wider Anomaly platform but is engineered from the ground up for a different rider profile.

Things to consider:

The Black Pearl 94 leans freeride and all-mountain rather than pure frontside. Skiers who ski mostly hardpack and want a more carving-focused ski should look at the narrower Black Pearl 88 or 84.

Fit & sizing considerations:

Skis true to length. Pick the size that matches your usual all-mountain length, or size up if you ski faster and in bigger terrain.
