The Blizzard Rustler 9 is an all-mountain backside ski that balances on-piste performance with a touch of versatility for mixed conditions. At 180 cm it sits in the 89–100 mm underfoot category, making it a capable choice for skiers who spend most of their time on groomed runs but want room to explore variable snow.
With a 96 mm waist, the Rustler 9 holds an edge strongly on hard snow while still offering enough float when conditions soften. The construction—just 1860 grams per ski—keeps it nimble during quick transitions and reduces fatigue over a full day on the hill. A flat mounting pattern means you can choose your preferred bindings and stance without compromise.
The listed radius of 17 meters describes the natural curvature of the ski’s edge when laid on its side, which translates to smooth, medium-sized turns that suit a range of driving styles. The sidecut dimensions (131.5 / 96 / 121 mm) indicate a balanced profile: a wider tip for turn initiation, a narrower waist for edge grip, and a stable tail for drive through the finish of each arc.

So feel free to Press Send, the Rustler 9 is specifically engineered to make you hoot and holler all over the hill.
