The Blizzard Rustler 9 Ski is a nimble freeride ski designed to deliver energetic performance across the majority of resort conditions, from firm groomers to choppy snow and technical terrain. Its 96mm waist, TrueBlend Free Woodcore, and FluxForm Freeride Ti construction combine beech, poplar, and paulownia with shaped Titanal reinforcement to create a balanced platform that is stable underfoot while remaining torsionally softer and more playful through the tip and tail. A rockered tip and tail with camber underfoot provides quick pivoting, flotation, and edge engagement, while the full ABS sidewall supports direct power transmission and durability. With a 128-96-117.5mm sidecut in the 162cm and turn radii from 14–18m depending on length, the Rustler 9 is exceptionally versatile for its width, offering quick edge-to-edge handling and carving precision without giving up the maneuverability needed for bumps, trees, variable snow, and soft conditions.

Performance Profile: For intermediate to expert skiers looking for a responsive freeride ski that excels when conditions are anything but perfect powder. The Rustler 9 is particularly well suited to aggressive resort skiers who want a nimble, predictable platform that can carve groomers, absorb choppy snow, pivot through trees, and still provide enough flotation and rocker for softer terrain.
