This playful shaping features deep rocker profiles both in the tips and the tails with, of course, a nearly twinned tail. We’d say that many intermediate – expert skiers will get on with this well-rounded flex pattern, especially considering the playful shaping. These four materials have all been laminated together to each bring their own blend of dampening, pop, durability and weight savings.Īll of this constructional wizardry results in a finely tuned ski that doesn’t feel overly demanding, yet can handle its own when you decide to put the pedal to the metal. Looking at the core, Blizzard has made use of the multi-layer woodcore made up of Poplar, Beech, Balsa and Paulownia. You’ve then got a specifically shaped layer of titanal running for most the length of the ski followed by a dampening layer and carbon fibreglass laminate The carbon version of this flipcore technology (which, by the way, is used in these Rocker 10s) makes use of unidirectional carbon in the tips and tails to help keep swing weight low. What this results in is an innovative rocker profile that creates even distribution of pressure through the length of the ski. This natural rocker shape means that the skis don’t need to be pressed into shape, the way a traditional ski would. Flipcore, for those unaware, shapes the rocker into each layer of the ski before sandwiching them together. The wider Rustler 11 is frequently found on the FWT podium while this, the 104 mm waisted Rustler 10, offers a playful ride in an extremely versatile all-mountain package.Īs we’ve come to expect with Blizzard skis, the Rustler 10 is packing Blizzard’s carbon flipcore technology. The Peacemaker sat within Blizzard’s playful all-mountain ski category, offering the antithesis to the directional and aggressive style of the 106 mm waisted Cochise – and the same can be said about the Rustler 10.Īnd ever since their release, we’re glad to say that they’ve been a success. Released in 2017, the Rustler 10 was designed to replace the old Peacemaker ski. Why we chose the Blizzard Rustler 10: Versatile, playful, powerful
