The 2027 Blizzard Black Pearl 94 with Tyrolia Attack LYT 11 GW Bindings is a versatile, freeride-leaning all-mountain ski built with women-specific W.S.D. construction. Centered on the Trueblend All Mountain woodcore and a pair of titanal sheets, it is a daily driver for skiers who want true soft-snow float without giving up carving precision on firmer days. We paired the Black Pearl 94 with the Tyrolia Attack LYT 11 GW because of the Attack’s light weight and reliability for all mountain and freeride skiers. Thanks to a 15% reduction in weight, the Attack LYT 11 is the perfect binding option for lighter weight freeriders, and keeps this setup on the lighter side without sacrificing power or performance.

Why we like it:

The Black Pearl 94 strikes a balance that is hard to engineer. It glides through soft snow with an ease that makes powder days feel effortless, then carves cleanly enough that the warm-up groomer never feels like a concession. Where most skis at this width pick a side, this one commits to both.

Who it's for:

Skiers from advanced to expert who want a versatile, freeride-leaning all-mountain ride. It shines for those in deeper-snow regions, one-ski travelers, and anyone who skis more powder than groomers yet still wants purposeful carving.

Highlights:

At the core sits the Trueblend All Mountain woodcore, matching firmer beech in the high-load zones with lighter poplar toward the ends, then re-tuned through W.S.D. construction for women-specific weight, leverage, and stance. A 94 mm waist gives the ski its float-and-carve balance, two titanal sheets settle the platform and steady the edge, and the FluxForm All Mountain structure pulls the layup into a clean, predictable flex. The profile sets rocker at the tip and tail around camber underfoot, delivering soft-snow lift and quick pivoting in tight terrain while keeping enough edge engaged to hold a line when things firm up. Rubber at the contact points adds a planted calm that survives mixed snow even when the surface stops cooperating. Fine-tuned for 2027, the Attack LYT 11 is designed to bring the ideal level of safety and performance to skiers looking for a light weight binding for a wide-bodied all-mountain or freeride ski. The new FR LYT Toe is 15% lighter, and offers a sliding AFD for precise and reliable release as well as plenty of elastic travel. Tyrolia’s SX FR Heel is easy to step into, offering an intuitive and frustration-free experience whether you’re stepping into your skis to start your day, or cleaning up from a pow day yardsale.

Things to consider:

The Black Pearl 94 favors freeride and all-mountain use over pure frontside carving. Skiers who mostly ski hardpack and want a sharper carving tool should consider the narrower Black Pearl 88 or 84.

Fit & sizing considerations:

Default to your habitual all-mountain length, or add a size when you ski quick through larger terrain.
