Get a truly versatile ski that will take you all over the mountain with the Rustler 9 from Blizzard. The Sandwich Compound Sidewall provides torsional stability for proper edge hold when you’re really pushing the boundaries. A 94 waist provides enough width for flotation in powder with sacrificing edge to edge transition while on hard pack. Furthermore, there are carbon layers found in the tips and tails to avoid any hooky feelings on the contact points. Carbon Flipcore Dynamic Release Technology is a titanal layer that is edge to edge underfoot but tapers down into the tip and tail for rigidity without sacrificing playfulness.
Carbon Flipcore Technology Integrates a uni directional carbon frame on top of the core of the ski for a lightweight but energetic feel. The Multi Layer Woodcore is an excellent blend of beech, balsa, poplar, and paulownia for weight savings and natural dampening properties.
The Blizzard Rustler 9 is a great option for the advanced intermediate to expert level skier who spends half of their time on the groomers and the other half everywhere else.
