For absolute freeride junkies, the Blizzard Rustler 11 freeride ski is the first choice. With a centre width of 114 millimetres, it is at the top of the Rustler series and is made for savouring those rare big powder days.

But it is also at home in rugged terrain, effortlessly rides narrow gullies and couloirs and is happy to take on the next cliff.

The ski's versatile range of use comes from its Trueblend Freeride wood core. Woods with different densities are glued together lengthwise, and the ski is more stable in the area under the binding, while it becomes increasingly softer and more dynamic towards the ends. Combined with the FluxForm Titanal construction, the result is a ski with unique lift, smoothness and stability.

Technology

TRUEBLEND FREE WOODCORE

Blizzard have designed a specific Trueblend Free Woodcore for the freeride / back country category skis. It combines beech and poplar – two wood types that guarantee performance – with paulownia for a lightweight, yet high-performance wood core.
The result: the right flex to cover for all backcountry requirements in a lighter package.

The Trueblend Free Woodcore specifically positions three different densities of wood together to form a woodcore that is specifically designed to optimize the flex of the ski and deliver a smooth and balanced feeling.
This blending of the different densities of wood creates three distinct flex zones; a softer flex zone in the tip and tail areas, that facilitates easy turn initiation and release, a medium flex zone in front of and behind the binding, that helps deliver confidence and control and finally a stiffer flex zone in the center, underneath the binding, that guarantees perfect edge grip and stability.
Trueblend woodcores are designed to provide just the right amount what you need, performance, control, and confidence, to do what you want, when you want anywhere on the mountain.

DURAMAX
New titanal construction that is designed to provide both maximum durability and increased performance with a unique, high value look. The top titanal layer is extended to the very edge of the ski and placed directly under the top foil which is then milled back 3 mm, thus exposing it. The titanal directly absorbs all impacts that occur along the top edge, reducing scratches and eliminating chipping.
