A new ski for the 2015 season this is similar to the very popular Black Pearl, yet is narrower underfoot & so feels quicker in the turns & yet still solid on piste. Blizzard are a relatively new brand for us with last season being the first season that we stocked their range, however, having had the chance to get out on them at the ski test they are already a firm favourite of many of the staff & offer some great performing skis that sold really well & gained great feedback from our regular customers. Although not as well known here in the UK as some other brands, Blizzard have utilized their flip core technology that gives them a great fun feel whilst still offering great edge hold. The Blizzard flipcore is a revolutionary rocker technology offering natural spring, lightweight flotation in powder & yet retaining excellent stability at low & high speeds. The natural rocker shape is produced without having to bend or artificially shape the ski in a press, the end result is a new rockered construction hat reaches a new level of stability & even pressure distributer that is unheard of in Freeride ski construction. This is a new ski for this season & offers all the same performance that you get from the multi award winning Black Pearl ski, yet with a narrower waist. This offers a slightly quicker edge to edge performance, a lighter feel underfoot & yet still offers the great edge hold & stability that you get from a blizzard ski Ski

With construction staying the same between the two of these the only difference is the waist. Personally I would go for the Black Pearl as this, although 88 underfoot, still offers amazing edge grip & on piste performance & yet offers that increased versatility. However if you are going to be sticking to piste & don’t want to go too wide then the Cheyenne would be the ideal choice & will certainly not let you down. Is this for me? For the good intermediate to advanced women skiers who spend a lot of time on piste & enjoy a really solid edge hold on the longer sweeping turns. An ideal ski for the intermediate skiers who are no getting confident on the blacks & are looking to progress onto a stiffer ski. Utilizing the flipcore & full sidewall this cuts through crud & crust really well & feels very stable at high speeds. SKI BINDING ADVICE: You will need a minimum 80mm brake width for this ski. You could pair the Black Pearl with a Marker Squire or for th
