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!

Luke was amazing
5 /5
This was my first ever time buying ski’s and look guided me through it like he was a city tour guide. You cannot get a better person than Luke on curated. I was able to text him like he was a friend and ask question about certain skis and he would answer always in a great response quickly.

5 /5
Alex was extremely patient with me, it took me a couple months, to finally decide which board to get. Even when I ghosted him for several weeks, which I do feel bad about, he was kind and patient and saw all the way through to the end with me. Will be purchasing more from curated in the future and I hope it’s through Alex.

5 /5
I really like how Curated approaches their sales process. With so many option the nuances between boards and sizes can make deciding on a board difficult. I loved that I could talk to Jared and bounce ideas off a real person who had a deep knowledge base. I looked at a ton of reviews and talked with shops, but I gained the most insight into my decision by chatting with Jared. He wasn't pushy and genuinely seemed stoked!

Simon was incredibly knowledgable and patient, helping me find the perfect skis and bindings that fit my needs and budget. He went above and beyond to make sure I got the best deal, which allowed me to get my new dream "true blue" skis that I can always turn to for most days on the mountain. I can't wait to hit the slopes with confidence, knowing I have reliable gear thanks to Simon's expert guidance. Highly recommend working with him!

I had a great experience with Nate helping me find a new snowboard! I’ve been looking to elevate my rides and he gave me so much information but in such an organized fashion that I did not feel overwhelmed. He knows what he’s talking about and had first hand experience on the slopes ! I’m super satisfied with Nate’s help! I ended up buying a new board same day. So stoked for the new season.

Bobby made an overwhelming search, for the right gear for my son, a breeze. I don't know much about snowboarding, so having Bobby's informative guidance helped me determine what would be best for my kiddo! I'm excited to watch him unwrap this gift, and start the season off right! Thank you Bobby!

Tristan was very helpful in pointing me in the right direction. He's got me looking good and feeling good next time i'm on the slopes.
5 /5
I kind of had an idea about what i was looking for, but Tristan helped me really get dialed in with the perfect gear. He helped me with sizing the board because i was torn between getting a wide board or not. He did a great job at explaining what he liked about certain products, so it was very helpful when picking out my stuff. The prices that i have seen for some of this gear on this website is incredible. Tristan really knows his stuff and i couldn't recommend him more.
