Most days are not perfect powder days -- those are Rustler 9 days. The Rustler 9 is an everyday ski for whatever throws your way. When it’s not blower conditions, this ski is an easy grab. It lights up on chundery, choppy, and icy days. This ski is nimble and predictable, it responds to power with power, and its platform welcomes airs. Don’t hesitate to roll the Rustler 9 up on edge, too, because this ski carves like a dream. Most days aren’t powder days, which means most days are Rustler 9 days. The Blizzard Rustler 9 Skis crush it in so many conditions we hesitate to think of a better all-rounder in the industry. Very crisp and precise for a rocker-camber-rocker design on firm snow, very nimble in bumps and tight spaces, and more than decent in fresh snow, the Rustler 9 is the daily driver of choice for just about anyone who doesn't limit themselves strictly to groomed terrain. Ability Level Skiers that have moved beyond the basics and feel more comfortable on the slopes making strong parallel turns with solid edge control. These skiers are exploring more of the mountain and ski the majority of the runs at most resorts, but still improving their skills to take on the hardest runs with confidence. The majority of intermediate skiers can adjust and manage their speed while adjusting to a variety of terrain and snow conditions. Very experienced skiers that can easily tackle all types of terrain. Event at high speed, these skiers are balanced, controlled and confident. They ski efficiently with strong technique not matter what turn shape or at any speed. Expert skiers enjoy the challenge of variable conditions and terrain — from groomers to deep snow and tight trees to wide open faces - while adjusting quickly to unexpected obstacles along the way. SPECS TERRAIN All Mountain FLEX Stiff ROCKER Rockered Tip - Camber Under Foot - Rockered Tail WIDTH 96mm BINDINGS Bindings not included FEATURES: Rocker Type Rocker Camber Rocker – Ski profile with rocker at the tip and tail, camber in the middle. Reducing the pressure on the edge at the tip and tail makes the ski even easier to handle and increases flotation on powder snow. The camber guarantees great grip on packed snow. Core TrueBlend Freeride Core – Combining Beech, Poplar and Paulownia woods in a uniquely balanced blend that's tailored to the performance needs of each Rustler or Sheeva ski, the TrueBlend Free cores are labor-intensive but allow the flex to be tuned more precisely than ever before. Laminates FluxForm – FluxForm - Two pieces of Titanal run the length of the ski on either side and taper toward the extremities of the ski. Combined with a separate Titanal plate underfoot, this construction allows for precise edge grip and dampening underfoot while allowing the tips and tails to flex freely. FluxForm varies according to model, with the Rustler 9 using more metal than the 10 or 11. Sidewalls Sandwich Compound Sidewall – All Blizzard skis with the exception of some junior skis are built with ABS or Phenol sidewalls for superior performance (stability, power transmission, handling) and durability.
