Blizzard Rustler 9 Skis

This Ski Is A Staff Favorite:

Powder7 Staff Pick Justin
By: Justin
The Rustler 10 and 11 became instant shop favorites last winter, with their delectable balance of power and playfulness. That's why we had a proper fight over who would get to test out the new, skinnier Rustler 9 at Copper Mountain in February. I won, of course, because I'm strongest and bravest. And I wasn't disappointed. The Rustler 9 is a perfect complement to its fatter brothers, with more edge-to-edge quickness and groomed snow precision in exchange for giving up a little float in deeper snow. It holds an edge with the best in its category, and is more nimble than the other Rustlers in tight spaces. Out West here, it's more of a frontside ski--but the Rustler 9 will be a perfect daily driver on the East Coast and Midwest. Just don't try to fight me for it.

2024-2025 Blizzard Skis Preview

Blizzard Skis 2025: First Look An Anomaly. Fresh off an overhaul of its popular Rustler and Sheeva collections a year ago, Blizzard goes even bigger for the 2024-2025 season. After winters upon winters of following the adage "If it ain't broke, don't fix it," the brand is replacing the legendary skis in its all-mountain collection. The Brahma, Bonafide, and Cochise all go away. In their place? A new collection called Anomaly. The new skis, which will come as narrow as 84mm and as wide as 102mm, aim to offer the same top-end all-mountain performance as their ... Continue Reading

Our Take On The 2025 Blizzard Rustler 9:

Sometimes at the shop, we find skis coming up again and again as recommendations to customers. The Blizzard Rustler 9 is one of those go-to recommendations as a high-performing all-mountain ski. At 94mm underfoot, it slots in as the narrowest Rustler and the one most tuned for frontside skiing. Bumps, groomers, skier cross, you name it. With smooth suspension, tapered tips, and freeride rocker, it can do some off-piste exploring, especially if you rarely find yourself skiing Alaska-style deep days. Updated for the 23/24 season, the new Rustler 9 matches updates across the line. Metal strips line the edges of the skis, with a sheet of metal underfoot to give you power where you need it, and not where you don't. This gives you a supportive ride with excellent shock absorption, without the ski feeling planky. The metal forks allow the ski a bit of flex, adding energy into the ride. At the same time, the shape remains nimble and agile in tight terrain. The new metal profile, plus an updated Trueblend wood core, make the Rustler even more supportive and predictable than the old, albeit slightly more demanding. We recommend the Rustler 9 for stoked intermediates looking to level up their skiing, straight through expert skiers who like a nimble, lively, and well-balanced ride. If you're looking for a more directional, more demanding alternative in this category, check out the Blizzard Anomaly 94.
