Blizzard describes the Rustler 11 as “the ultimate resort powder ski.” This is quite the tagline, and while “ultimate” is usually a questionable moniker, there’s no denying that the Rustler 11 has earned its reputation. It’s a great powder ski, but performance drops notably as snow firms up.
What we love most about the Rustler 11 is how wide of an audience it caters towards. Skiers ranging from the advanced side of intermediate all the way up to freeride pros can find something to love about the Rustler 11. Blizzard even makes considerations for size. The waist scales with length, so skiers can expect consistent results regardless of their preferred length.
Notable Features
Carbon Flipcore DRT: A tapered sheet of titanal runs the length of the ski, thickest and most supportive underfoot then gradually thinning out towards the tips and tails where it is replaced by carbon inserts. The end result is a ski that weighs less, with more playful and forgiving shovels that still can hold an edge when called upon.
Things we like:
-
Tons of fun to ride and performs reasonably well outside of powder -
Light enough to be a viable touring option
-
Can be forced into tight turns despite being a long ski
Things we don't like:
-
Still fairly directional compared to other skis in this category
- Waist: 112-116 mm
- Length: 164-192 cm
- Rocker Profile: Rocker/Camber/Rocker
- Core: Poplar/Beech/Balsa/Paulownia
- Tail: Partial Twin Tip
- Turn Radius: Medium
