    2023 Black Pearl 88, Kenja, Blaze 94W (indoor slope demo night)

    I was recently able to get to a demo night at our local indoor slope and thought I would check out the new season skis. It was held by one of the outdoor chain stores and although you had to pay to get in, entry was discounted and the demos themselves were free. There were both skis and...

    Hi all! I'm debating between the blizzard black pearl 88s and 97s and would love some advice. I live in Ontario and am a very experienced skier. I mostly ski in Vermont and Quebec, but I like to do an annual trip to the Canadian Rockies (I'd like to someday ski Europe and the U.S. as well)...

    Blizzard Black Pearls - 2015 still good?

    I found a pair of used blizzard black pearl 88s for <$200. After having demo’d these through the years, I’m seriously considering! That said, they’re the model from ~2015 … what tech upgrades have happened through the years? Will 2015s still suffice if they’re in good condition? I saw there was...
