114 mm Freeride Powder Ski
Blizzard Rustler 11
The Blizzard Rustler 11 is a freeride powder ski for strong skiers who want a wide ski that floats deep snow and still charges through chop. Blizzard builds it on a Trueblend Free woodcore with a FluxForm titanal layup, which puts metal where the ski needs support and leaves the tips and tails free to flex, under a rocker, camber, rocker profile. At 142-114-132 mm and 2,070 g per ski in the 186, with a radius that grows from 16 m to 22 m across the run, the Rustler 11 is built for storm days and big lines.

Ski Selection Advice
The Blizzard Rustler 11 comes in 168, 174, 180, 186, 192 cm. Rocker makes it ski a touch short; most strong skiers size at or above their height.
