The Rustler 10 is Blizzard's 102 mm freeride ski, built for skiers who like to have fun at speed. It uses a Trueblend Freeride woodcore of poplar, beech and paulownia with a sandwich FluxForm construction, titanal control arms, fiberglass and a full sidewall. At 180 cm it measures 134/102/123 mm with a 17.5 m radius.
The trade-off of a 102 mm waist is some quickness on firm snow in exchange for float and stability in soft snow. It still holds an edge on groomers far better than most skis this wide.
It is for chargers who want to draw high-speed turns, bounce off bumps and detonate crud, then send features and ski switch when conditions line up.
Rocker/camber/rocker profile with a sintered base, sized from 162 to 192 cm. Stop by and we will help you pick the right length.
We think the Rustler 10 is a life-enhancing ski for storm days, playful, trustworthy and ready for anything.
Tech Features
Rocker Camber Rocker
Rocker in the tip and tail makes the ski easy to steer and floats it in powder, while camber underfoot grips on firm snow.
TrueBlend Freeride Core
Beech, poplar and paulownia blended for each Rustler or Sheeva model so the flex can be tuned precisely.
FluxForm
Two titanal strips run the length of the ski and taper toward the ends, with a titanal plate underfoot for edge grip and damping while the tips and tails flex freely.
Sandwich Compound Sidewall
ABS or phenol sidewalls for stability, power transmission and durability.
Sintered Graphite Base
A fast, durable sintered base.

This guide is for alpine (downhill) skis. Ski length depends on your height, your ability, and how you like to ski. Use this chart as a starting point, then talk to us about the ski itself: rocker, width, and turn shape all change how long a ski feels.

Quick Rule
- Beginner: ski tip around your chin. Shorter skis turn easily.
- Intermediate: tip between your nose and forehead.
- Advanced: tip around the top of your head, for stability at speed.
- Expert: about 5cm longer than advanced, for hard charging and big-mountain terrain.
Adjust For
- Go longer: heavier build, fast skiing, deep snow, lots of tip rocker.
- Go shorter: lighter build, tight trees and moguls, uphill touring.
- Telemark: if you want a ski for tele, we recommend going down about 10cm from the length you normally like.
