I'm a part time pro at a Vermont mountain. I needed something mostly for my free skiing as well as for more advanced students. I demoed this twice, to be sure, and tried lots of the competitors. This one kept coming out on top for stability, lightness without too much flex, and responsiveness. The old "think and it turns" fits with these skis.
It's good in...” --JaneB

“ These skis practically ski by themselves. I had outgrown my previous skis, being unable to advance in skill level with solid medium level skis. These skis are longer than my last, coming between my eyes & forehead. With the flexibility and give of my Burnin' Luvs, I find I'm able to ski any surface, with easy, short radius turns. Hard packed or powder are much easier with these skis....” --Shaz

I love these skis, have a marker tour f-12 binding so much fun, these skis turn on a dime.
Surfy in the pow. I did not find the ski stiff, very forgiving. Like I said wa hoo

The Blizzard Black Pearl is one of our favorite women's all mountain skis, and another winner in the Blizzard Flipcore line that we really love.
Like the Blizzard Kabookie, this ski forgoes a metal laminate to reduce weight and make for a livelier, less stiff ride, without going too soft like some women's skis out there. This is certainly not a "shrink it and pink it" treatment for...” --Start Haus

“The Aura remains unchanged since it's inception, with the exception of Volkl discontinuing the 177cm size for 2008-2009, and for good reason....it's a versatile, powerful, rock solid women's ski that does almost everything exceptionally well. I demoed the 2007-2008 in the 163cm, own the 2006-2007 in 177cm (purchased used), and wish I could afford to own both sizes. Discontinuing the 177cm was a...” --volklgirl
