Most days aren’t powder days—and that’s exactly when the Blizzard Rustler 9 comes alive. This is the ski built for all the in-between conditions: firm groomers, tracked-out bowls, choppy afternoons, or surprise wind buff on the ridge. Quick, powerful, and endlessly versatile, the Rustler 9 thrives on variable snow and rewards skiers who love to drive, carve, and charge wherever the day leads.
Blizzard’s TrueBlend Free Woodcore brings a masterful balance of power and playfulness. By blending three densities of beech, poplar, and paulownia, the core delivers precise flex control—soft at the tips and tails for effortless turn initiation, medium through the mid-body for stability and confidence, and dense underfoot for maximum edge grip and response. It’s a ski that feels intuitive underfoot, with the strength to stand up to speed and the smoothness to inspire trust in every turn.
The new FluxForm Freeride construction takes that performance up a notch. Designed to work in harmony with the TrueBlend core, FluxForm strategically reinforces the ski with metal along the edge—tapered toward the tips for easier float and widened in the tail for stability on landings and fast, clean exits. This combination results in a damp, powerful ride that still feels agile and playful across changing terrain.
With a versatile rockered tip and tail paired with camber underfoot, the Rustler 9 offers a mix of easy pivoting and dependable grip. Whether you’re carving crisp morning corduroy, slashing side hits, or dancing through the trees, this ski stays predictable and composed. And when you do find a pocket of soft snow, it’s got just enough rocker to surf it.
If you only have room for one ski, make it the Rustler 9—because most days aren’t deep days, but every day can be a great day.
