Adrian Bouthot described the Blizzard Rustler 11 pretty perfectly, stating, “Checks all the boxes for a skier that likes to push the speed barrier everywhere.” Blizzard threw a whole lot into the mixing pot to create this high-performance rig. A combination of balsa, paulownia, poplar and beech woods in the core cover the bases of dampening, spring, weight savings and rigidity. Titanal underfoot with a full sandwich construction ensure power transmission, while two full-length layers of carbon and fiberglass provide even more lightweight strengthening. “Knives on both the groomers and in the pow,” said Sarina Scott. “A super stable ski with the ability to handle the highest speeds.”
