it's worth it!
The Rustler 9 2027 Sand / Green is a men's freeride ski from the brand Blizzard.
The Rustler 9, narrower compared to its bigger brothers the Rustler 10 and 11, is an incredible blend of pure performance and playful behaviour.
On the shaping side, with a 96 mm waist and a double rocker, the Rustler 9 is a very versatile and playful ski.
Extremely manoeuvrable on piste, it is driven with liveliness, whether in carved or skidded turns, in long arcs or short turns, everything goes by in the blink of an eye and with disarming ease. Its buoyancy remains very good and it will plane effortlessly thanks to an effective rocker.
With a classic camber underfoot and reduced sidecut dimensions compared to the other skis in the range, it is a safe bet on all terrains and will excel in spring skiing.
The Rustler 9 features a balanced core made from different woods, the TrueBlend Free Woodcore, which greatly influences the flex: stiff and seriously stable underfoot thanks to the presence of a Titanal layer FluxForm Freeride, it is much more playful at the tips with unidirectional carbon reinforcements that reduce longitudinal stiffness but increase torsional rigidity.
The tip and endpiece/hinge mount are therefore much more progressive and playful, while remaining stable, allowing you to express your style regardless of snow conditions. This also provides unmatched manoeuvrability for such a wide ski and good comfort, as riding should always remain a pleasure.
A structured base, an endpiece/hinge mount reinforcement and anti-vibration plates complete the features that make this ski exceptional.
With the Rustler 9, Blizzard delivers the missing piece in its freeride range. A ski with freeride construction and shape but trimmed down in dimensions compared to the other skis in the range. This gives it rock-solid stability in all conditions. The ski is excellent for carving turns and having fun on piste, but will also be capable of taking freeride lines or riding in the forest on powder days.

| TRUEBLEND FREE WOODCORE | - PERFECTLY BALANCED FLEX We have now designed a Trueblend wood core specific to our freeride category skis. It combines beech and poplar – two types of wood that guarantee performance – with paulownia to be lightweight yet very high-performing. The result: The right flex to meet all touring needs in a lighter format. - ACCESSIBLE PERFORMANCE The Trueblend Free Woodcore specifically positions three different wood densities to form a wood core that is specifically designed to optimise the ski’s flex and provide a sensation of smoothness and balance. This blend of different wood densities creates three distinct flex zones: a softer flex zone in the tip and tail areas, which facilitates the initiation and release of turns; a medium flex zone in front of and behind the binding, which helps provide confidence and control; and finally, a stiffer flex zone in the centre, under the binding, which ensures perfect grip and stability. The Trueblend Woodcore is designed to provide just the right amount of what you need—performance, control, and confidence—to do what you want, when you want, anywhere on the mountain. |
| FLUXFORM FRERIDE | The FluxForm is designed to work in perfect combination with the Trueblend Wood Core. Like its core, the FluxForm is specifically dimensioned for each model. The tips are tapered for perfect flotation, and the endpiece is wider for more support during fast powder turns and cliff landings. |
