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!

I need for Bobby to ALWAYS help me
5 /5
Bobby was amazing! He was always available, I was going back and forth and he was encouraging me, informing me, and was an all around amazing person. He has been one of my favorite experiences and honestly if it weren’t for him I probably wouldn’t have made this purchase.

the site is asking me for another review, I said 'LETS DO IT' Where to start? Brent really held my hand through the whole experience. Curated some dope pieces for me and answered loads of questions for my primitive understanding of ski physics and geometry. Brent had options, follow-ups and sweet choices for me to get shredding on the slopes. THANKS BRENT!

Second purchase from Curated using Gary. He has been super informative and helpful. Outfitted me a couple of years ago and today helped me with both of my sons who are completely different skiers. He is quick to respond and answered my many questions. Excited to get their new skis and give them a ride over spring break!!

Kyle was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful in helping me choose the perfect package for me (Roxy Dawn + Union Rosa + ThirtyTwo STW Double BOA). He took the time to explain the differences between boards, bindings, and boots, making sure I got the perfect setup for my skill level. His expertise and friendly attitude made the whole process smooth and enjoyable. Highly recommend Kyle for anyone needing snowboard gear advice—thanks again! ⛷️🏂😊

Thank you Casey🤙🏼 much love and I appreciate your time and expertise. Casey was knowledgeable, supportive, listened to my worries and needs. Casey Worked with me on multiple options for my new equipment. Casey was very responsive, checked in with me to make sure this was the right purchase for me. Casey also let me know that the board I was debating on purchasing had a low stock left. I did finally purchased my new board. I held off on buying bindings. I only did that because, what I wanted was out of stock. Casey, The mountains are calling, and I must go."

She never gave up and kept me updated on deals that would better work with my budget yet still provide me the support and structure in a board that I needed for my plans in pursuing this sport! I really appreciated her help even though I wasn’t very responsive and that just goes to show her determination. Honestly a gem!

I know nothing about skis and this was so easy!
5 /5
I've been skiing for about 6 years now but have spent all that time learning how now to bust my butt, and not about the actual gear. I knew I was ready to upgrade the second-hand beginner skis I bought 7 years ago but had no idea where to start. Ben did all the leg work for me, gave me easy to understand feedback about his choices, and then answered all of my questions. 12/10 would recommend!

As a first-time buyer of any snowboarding equipment, I had no idea what I was looking for. With his personalized informative video, he explained why he suggested me certain items, explained specs, and overall taught me a lot in a short amount of time. Everything was 'curated' for me. Amazing job Billy!
