Here it is: our new "performance" rental/demo for 2017. It is basically a current Black Pearl, but labeled the Brahma Rental. Doesn't it seem like the perfect ski for that moderately technical skier who skis 5-10 days a year? Why isn't Blizzard offering this ski in retail channels? The Brahma is a wonderful ski, but many skier don't want nor need 2 sheets of metal. it seems like they are abandoning that upper intermediate to advanced moderate fitness, moderate technique, cruiser skier, which makes up 70% of the population on the market. Thoughts? I know many of my customers would be very happy with this model. A longer Black Pearl is a sweet ride. Even I would be happy with that ski 90% of the time, and maybe 100% of the time if I lived for tight trees and bumps.
