  • Great all mountain ski with a lot of pop and easy to turn.
  • Performs best in soft snow and holds its own in firmer conditions.
  • Suitable for a broad range of ski abilities.
  • Very little chatter.
  • Very easy to get over on the edge during turns, even though it is 104mm underfoot.
  • Can carve quick turns.
  • Incredible ski for powder.
  • An extremely playful ski, much more so than the Blizzard Bonafides.
  • They are good in the bumps, but if you go with a longer length (due to the rocker) than you might have a little more difficulty.
  • An extraordinary ski and at an average price.
  • Lively, snappy and intuitive.
  • One of the best skis of all time.
  • This is a powder ski that can be used on all conditions.

Expert Reviews

  • Due to the rocker profile it skis a little short.
  • Can feel a little soft.
  • Not the best at high speeds.
  • The ski prefers shorter radius turns.
  • If you’re looking for a ski that charges high speeds, this isn’t it.
  • Can’t hold an edge as well as the Bonafides.
  • When straight lining this ski, it can feel twitchy or hooky.
  • Hard to pivot/slarv this ski on steep moguls.
  • Does not plow through chop with ease.
  • Hooky in variable conditions.
  • Not very damp.
  • Good, not great float.

Summary:

The Blizzard Rustler 10 Skis are fun and playful. They prefer shorter radius turns and dominate off-piste terrain. While they hold a fine edge on groomers, they are built to play on the whole mountain.
