Blizzard Rustler 9 | 2024

Unless you’ve been skiing with horse blinders, you’ve probably seen a pair of Blizzard Rustlers on the feet of some of the wildest skiers in the game. Maybe it’s your good pal who skis tight couloirs like nobody’s business. Maybe it’s the unknown sender taking that backy deep off the Hollywood hit under the lift. Whatever the case, it’s probably time you hopped onto a pair to see what all the hype is about. And we can tell you from experience, the hype is real. The 2024 Rustler 9 is an ideal everyday plank for the hard-charging freeride skier. This beauty is built with a Titanal shock absorption platform underfoot, FluxForm edge control build and Blizzard’s TrueBlend Freeride core, combining poplar, paulownia and beech wood stringers for lightweight power. At 96-mm underfoot, it’s a ski that you can rely on to charge hard even when the snow refuses to fall.
