The old Rustler had a devoted following among hard charging freeriders worldwide, and many were dubious when Blizzard announced a total re-design of this classic. Relax, bros, this company knows what it's doing. The new Blizzard Rustler 11 Skis blend the best of the OG Rustler 11 with a few choice traits from the fondly remembered Gunsmoke to create a freeride sensation you'll have to try to believe. Moving the Titanal laminate from the middle of the ski to the outside rails and isolating it from the Titanal under the bindings means less tip flutter and more confidence on edge, while the smooth flex can be attributed to the unique TrueBlend Freeride core with each of 3 distinct woods providing a super strong platform underfoot with the tip and tail flexibility you want for variable snow. The new R11 still impresses with comp-worthy stability at speed, but is even more capable in tight technical terrain - and it's begging you to take it to the limit.
