Theo G tested this product
I have rarely enjoyed a narrow (for Utah), all-mountain ski as much as the Rustler. It carves easily and gracefully yet allows for exceptional turn size and shape variation. It's comfortable off-piste, especially in trees, with an appropriately flexible turn radius and maximum maneuverability.
On groomed snow, the Rustler can lock into a carve and propel the skier into the next... Read more
Ideal for
- Ease of carving
- Maneuverability in all conditions
- Groomed snow exploration
Not ideal for
- Not a powder ski with great flotation
- Might be a bit flexible for those looking for a stiff carver

The 2023 Rustler 9 can be your one ski quiver if you are on the East Coast, without a doubt. It is a great option for those out west who stick to groomers, and it can handle some fresh snow too. It is one of the top mountain options for intermediate- to advanced-level skiers who are searching for a versatile... Read more
Ideal for
- Performs well in most terrain
- Playful
- Great carver for the mid-width all mountain category
Not ideal for
- Not the best in deep snow
- High speed skiers might want something stiffer

The Blizzard Rustler 9 is a narrow, playful all-mountain ski that is perfect for Eastern skiers looking to explore off the beaten (or groomed) path or the Western skier looking for all mountain skis for when it hasn not snowed in a while. Capable of carving on hard pack, the Rustler 9 shines in boot top powder and softer snow.... Read more
Ideal for
- Deep Rocker lines make for a ski the floats very well for its width in softer snow.
- Great for Eastern off-piste skiing
- Athletic intermediate to Expert skiers who like to ski in the bumps and trees
Not ideal for
- Not as much as responsive to aggressive carving input as skis with more camber

Great Intermediate to Advanced Ski!
Posted on Dec 28, 2023Purchased last seasons 2023 Rustler 9 (188) on-sale for the 2024 season. So far I’ve skied them 5 days from A-basin to Ski Cooper with no complaints. Coming from rental skis I was blown away by the versatile performance of these skis. They are super playful and fun to zoom down Greens but also confidence inspiring at handling black diamond mogul fields and tree runs. I would say they work great as a one ski quiver or “all mountain ski” and are perfect for anything but the deepest of powder. I am an intermediate to advanced skier and I fully recommend these skis!

Amazing ski
Originally posted at www.blizzard-tecnica.com on Jan 31, 2022My son loves this ski. It's his favorite because of the front and back rockers he likes to ski backwards. The ski is very light and will turn on a dime. It's very responsive and light. I wanted to comment on the excellent customer service of blizzard. While I was traveling on the freeway my ski came off the car no one was hurt luckily. I was able to call their customer service they actually had one extra ski on hand they shipped it promptly to my house now we have a matching pair again our favorite ski. I considered a miracle that they had a single one in stock since they sell out and it was an older model so I surprised that they had the perfect size and the perfect color thank you for the excellent customer service we are lifetime customers!

Edward was a champ. He answered all of my questions in a timely manner, was filled with knowledge, and patient. I am difficult to sell to because I want to know all of the information available about a product before I purchase. Edward never tried to upsell me or get me into something I wasn’t interested in. Eventually, I would end up purchasing a pair of skis that I know will be perfect. Very happy that I was linked up with Edward. Guy deserves a raise!!!

I came to curated because my local ski shops said my feet were too big to fit into anything they carried. They didnt offer me any alternatives, so I took to the internet. I am so grateful to have found Thomas because he worked with me to find the perfect set. I am so grateful for his time and expertise and I cannot wait to receive my new gear. Thank you Thomas!

I was looking to upgrade my beginner set of skis (Atomic Cloud 9s) and had no idea where to begin. Joe asked all the right questions to help me narrow down what I wanted out of my next set. I needed skis with more stability while turning and at high speeds, and could handle the variety of snow/ice east coast winters bring. He gave me numerous recommendations within my budget, explained why he recommended them, and answered alllll my questions. In the end, I went with the Volkl Kenjas 88 and have been IN ABSOLUTE HEAVEN this winter. Thanks, Joe!

Ben is clearly passionate about skiing and getting people into the right stuff. As someone who has never shopped for ski equipment, I was daunted by all of the options available. Ben considered my experience and history as well as goals to ensure I was kitted out properly. Thank you Ben and I appreciate the attention and time!

I can't say enough good things about my experience working with Dave! I was in the market for a new snowboard and accessories, and Dave went above and beyond to help me find exactly what I needed. He was super knowledgeable, patient, and took the time to understand my riding style and preferences.
Not only did he recommend a board that's perfect for me, but he also helped me pick out the right bindings, boots, and even some extras to enhance my setup. His advice was spot-on, and I never felt pressured—just guided by someone who really knows their stuff.
If you're looking for expert advice and personalized service, Dave is the one to talk to. Highly recommend!
