The 2020 Blizzard Rustler 10 skis are an awesome freeride ski that returns this year with some minor tweaks, including the topsheet, but are for the most part, still the amazing skis they have always been. For advanced and expert level skiers who are looking to expand their freeride game, the Rustler 10 is a benchmark. This unique ski is playful, light, stable, and dynamic all at the same time. They are a remarkable combination of a ton of great qualities that make the advanced and expert skier really excited to ski them. The shape and rocker profile have stayed the same, while the topsheet construction and graphic have changed. The Rustler 10 still has the 102 mm waist in the 180 cm length and this thing loves to float and smear through any and all fresh and soft snow conditions. For the deepest of days, the wider the better, but it's not always like that. The rocker profile that gives the ski camber underfoot makes for a wonderful freeride ski with an all-mountain flair. Even on groomers, the Rustler 10 is able to hang and make some sweet trenches. They're pretty light for how big they are, and the carbon tips and tails have a lot to do with that. Underfoot, the Dynamic Release Technology's metal laminate makes for a super-smooth ride. The metal extends toward the tip and tail to ensure proper turn engagement and release. Advanced and expert level skiers will love the freeride performance of the 2020 Blizzard Rustler 10 Skis.

Stable, Playful, Carve well, Love soft snow
I ski a 188, at 6 feet and 205#. Because of the rocker do not feel like long skis at all. Release after a carve or smear easily for the next turn. They absorb energy and give it back when you want it. Super in soft snow yet feel stable. The titanium under foot and tapered toward the tips make it just enough like a Blizzard ski. If you ever slip to back seat they have support to get back to an athletic stance. Yet they do not demand work. If you like a smooth long radius turns ride, they will match your flow. Very happy. Only down side just a bit heavy.

Fantastic skis but Backcountry is a terrible company
Love the skis, great in powder and do well on trails too, maneuverable in trees and loads of fun. Fantastic for some drops as well. My only complaint is that i noticed Back country sells them here and they are a scum bag of a company, would not recommend supporting their sue happy business practices.
