Individual Review 2017 Blizzard Black Pearl

[SkiEssentials]

Hey PugSki members!

Back in December we sat down with Sam Cook, President of Blizzard/Tecnica, and got an early preview of the 2017 Blizzard collection. Later in the year we were able to get our hands on quite a few of the new and updated models and have been rolling out reviews as fast as we can. Most recently we compiled experiences from our female testers who skied the new version of the Black Pearl. The overwhelming consensus is that they're lighter, a bit quicker, and more responsive than the previous versions without sacrificing what's made them such popular skis (i.e. stability, versatility, edge grip, and ease-of-use across varying ability levels.)

Click the image below for the full review. We're looking forward to taking these out for some additional testing next winter!

Here's Sam counting the reasons why the new women's collection is better than previous versions. For those who haven't had the pleasure of meeting Sam, he's exactly how you'd hope the president of a leading ski company would be. Down to earth, passionate skier, and loves to talk about his products!
