Blizzard Rustler 9 (Powder Ski 2023/2024)

Product Summary

The Blizzard Rustler 9's full retail price is 650 €. The Ski is roughly 30 € cheaper than the average price of all Powder Skis, making it a mid-range model. This ski is just right for good skiers. Stable but not overpowering. The Rustler 9 is a more off-piste oriented ski which rides great in deep powder. Thanks to its versatility however, it is also fun on groomers from time to time. The ski is available from 162 to 186cm. The ski is very agile and performs well in all sizes of turn radius - both long and short. The radius ranges from 14 m to 18 m (depending on the length of the ski).

The ski in details

The nimblest of the Rustler series, the Rustler 9 doesn’t necessarily need a powder day to make yours. Whether you're ripping through the trees or laying trenches back to the lift for another go, these babies are built for fun. At the heart of the redesigned Rustler 9 is a lightweight, energetic Freeride Trueblend woodcore and an all-new FluxForm technology. Trueblend and FluxForm are designed to work together to provide stability and strength underfoot, yet retain playfulness in the tip and tail. So feel free to Press Send, the Rustler 9 is specifically engineered to make you hoot and holler all over the hill.
