The read

This women's-specific all-mountain ski sits on the narrower, quicker end of its category cohort, with a waist near the frontside-leaning boundary and a short-radius sidecut that strongly favors quick, nimble turns. A single sheet of titanal with a rocker-camber-rocker profile balances edge grip and turn initiation while keeping weight notably light for the category. It suits an active frontside skier who wants a lively, quick-turning ski that can handle occasional off-piste without sacrificing agility on groomers.

Specs & what they mean

What the Black Pearl 84's numbers add up to, as a model — the three things that define how it skis.

Turn & shape

A 13.0-meter radius sits in the all-purpose range — turn shapes that shorten up or open out without committing to either; a moderate tip taper keeps turn entry easy while the shovel still engages.

Stability & dampness

A single titanal layer sits over the core — targeted dampening that settles the ski without the full weight of a sheet, keeping more life in the tips and tails. At 1,660 g it stays maneuverable underfoot.

Float & width

At 84 mm it's an all-rounder leaning toward firm snow — enough width for soft conditions, still quick on edge. Rocker at tip and tail lets it smear and release easily, while the camber underfoot keeps an edge.
