The Curated Take

By the Expert Community

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. At 92-94 mm at the waist, it is not a powder ski for the Western resorts that get a ton of snow, but it is a fantastic ski for East Coast powder days that start out untracked, but turn to variable conditions early on.

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

The Blizzard Rustler 9 Skis are the perfect freeride skis for those who want to tackle any terrain. With Carbon Flipcore D.R.T Technology and an innovative waist design, these skis offer more control and float, even on steep terrain. The smooth rocker-camber-rocker profile makes them responsive and stable yet super playful in softer snow. Whether you're sending spicy lines or cruising the groomers back to the bottom, the Rustler 9 is a do-it-all master.

Key Features:

  • Carbon Flipcore D.R.T Technology provides more control and float on steep terrain.
  • Innovative waist design offers increased control and float as ski length increases.
  • Smooth rocker-camber-rocker profile makes these skis responsive and stable in all conditions.

Amazing ski

Originally posted at www.blizzard-tecnica.com on Jan 31, 2022
My 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!

Ryan was very helpful
5 /5
Ryan is very knowledgeable about the tech of snowboards and the areas I frequently snowboard at. He helped me understand the fundamentals about snowboards which helped me in my own independent research. He is super patient and responsive. Additionally, he worked with my budget and snowboarding wants/needs.

I have been wanting to get my own gear since I can remember, having borrowed stuff from my dad and buddies as long as I can remember. However, I waited so long because although I have been boarding for a while, I didn’t know any of the terminology or what brands were good, etc. Kim made this process SO easy, and I am more than confident I will like my gear! 10/10 recommend and if I need to get more stuff I know where I am going

Vincent done did it again! Had a friend refer me and boy was it the best decision ever. Vincent was very knowledgeable and definitely catered to my needs. He didn’t send the most expensive bindings and hoped for the best. I told what I was looking for and delivered. Not one or two options but many options. I definitely recommend him as your expert!

5 /5
Kyle was extremely helpful and patient in guiding me through the shopping experience. He sent me multiple videos reviewing snowboards, boots, and bindings based on my needs. He was open to feedback and questions, and ensured that I made the best choice for my needs. I'd highly recommend Kyle for anyone looking for a friendly expert to guide them through buying their snow gear!

I messaged him at 4 AM PST
5 /5
I had insomnia that night and found the Curated for the first time. I was curious about contacting an expert who turned out to be Andrew at 4 AM PST. I expected to get an answer a few hours later since it was in the middle of the night. I turned off my computer and went into bed he responded a few minutes later. Hopefully, I didn't wake him up, or maybe he's on EST time but either way, he's on his game.

I had many questions, and after a few days we finally got stuff figured out. Throughout the whole process he was very helpful and knowledgeable which is defiantly better then going to facebook marketplace. I tried that, but the information from an expert just helps much more. I would defiantly recommend Ryan to other customers.

I very much enjoyed working with Leo on my ski purchase. I had done some research on my own but had not settled on a particular ski. I came across Curated by accident and did not know I would be connected to a live person - and someone who is quite knowledgeable as well! Leo listened to what I was looking for and put together some recommendations personalized for me. I was able to review these on my own schedule and later discuss my questions with Leo to finalize my selection. I’ll definitely recommend Leo and Curated to friends and will be back for my next pair of skis!

I was super skeptical of this website at first I assumed the suggestions were just from an AI generated bot, but Leo is definitely a real human and a knowledgeable one at that! He knew the area i ski in maine and made suggestions based off my skill level and northeast conditions. Can’t wait to take my new gear out in a few months!
