What's your first impression of this ski? How did it feel?

I thought that this ski was a ton of fun. It wasn't too bad on quick turns due to the early rise tip and tail, but I felt that the longer radius turns were much more soild.

For what type of terrain would you recommend this ski? Why does it perform well in that terrain?

This would be a great powder ski or side country. Quick turns for tree runs and floaty for powder.

What's the appropriate ability level and/or style for this ski? Why is it appropriate for that type of skier?

This would be for advanced and expert level skiers. It's width would be difficult for intermediate and beginners.

Anything else you want to tell us about your experience on these skis?

Wish I had some deep snow to ride this ski in.

What's your first impression of this ski? How did it feel?

These are definitely less versatile than I would have liked. They will carve if you get them up on enough of an edge, but they really only prefer tight radius turns. Super playful in bumps and great for air - would have loved to take them in the woods if conditions had been better.

For what type of terrain would you recommend this ski? Why does it perform well in that terrain?

Definitely a soft snow/woods ski, though spring slush would be good too.

What's the appropriate ability level and/or style for this ski? Why is it appropriate for that type of skier?

Intermediate and up, though getting the most out of them on piste would take a high advanced to expert skier.

Super surfy - I wish there had been more snow!

What's your first impression of this ski? How did it feel?

This ski has it all, I would choose the Rustler 10 to be a one ski quiver. Quick on the bumps, playful when needed, rock solid on hard pack.

For what type of terrain would you recommend this ski? Why does it perform well in that terrain?

I would ski the Rustler all over the mountain! It has those hard charging qualities. I would take into the steep and deep, they are maneuverable so the trees and bumps would be great, and groomers are epic too.

What's the appropriate ability level and/or style for this ski? Why is it appropriate for that type of skier?

I would say with the 104 underfoot and the 186 in length, this ski gears more towards the higher intermediate, advanced, and aggressive skier.

Favorite ski all day!! Just awesome, gosh I want to keep skiing on that.

The rustler does not ski as short as one would think given all the rocker. A 180 seems perfect for eastern trees, longer would be better for western trees and bowls.

What's your first impression of this ski? How did it feel?

The Rustler 10's are what I look for in a side country ski and is exactly what I want to ski in Wyoming or Montana. They are very forgiving but stiff enough in the torsion department for quick short turns. When carving on firm surfaces the rockered tips and tails engage for some fun short radius turns. This ski likes to be on edge, the more the better, and is not overpowered when driving the front of the boot. They are a perfect powder day tree ski.

For what type of terrain would you recommend this ski? Why does it perform well in that terrain?

The Rustler 10 would perform best in enough snow latitude and longitudinal skiing. On firm groomers it only has one trick, fun medium radius carves.

What's the appropriate ability level and/or style for this ski? Why is it appropriate for that type of skier?

These are for experts only.

What's your first impression of this ski? How did it feel?

I was fortunate enough to ski it in both the 186 and 180 lengths. If I were to choose a daily driver oriented ski, I’d opt for the 180 as it saves some swing weight. However, beyond that the shorter length doesn’t necessarily bring any more life (responsiveness) into the ski. It’s a very damp and stable charging platform, that still a retains enough maneuverability to be able to dance around with it. But it didn’t necessarily inspire me to go off jumps and find little side hits to play on.

For what type of terrain would you recommend this ski? Why does it perform well in that terrain?

The ski is all mountain/big mountain oriented. It’s a hard charger that loves to open it up go fast and take chances through any type of terrain.

What's the appropriate ability level and/or style for this ski? Why is it appropriate for that type of skier?

Advanced and expert skiers will have a blast on the ski, while intermediate skiers will find it can take them for a ride if they’re not ready to really drive it.

Anything else you want to tell us about your experience on these skis?

I would add the Rustler 10 in a 186 to my quiver for big open soft snow days. That ski just kept wanting more, unfortunately I didn’t have the real estate or conditions to seriously let it go. This is one of those skis that’s like “crank those bindings to full and then back a quarter turn and punch it.” and I love it for that. If I were to be shopping for a daily driver, I would recommend sizing down. There are no performance disadvantages and you save yourself a little bit of swing weight.

Would describe myself as a freecarver (Freeride skier at heart with a love for carving). Any excuse to go drops, cliffs, jumps, spins, etc., I will take. But also very much enjoy pure carving on skis that many would consider far too wide to carve on.

What's your first impression of this ski? How did it feel?

Absolutely love the Rustler 10, it would be a top pick for my 1 ski quiver here at Stowe. It can carve, slash, drift, float, and charge. Super smooth and stable in a carved turn buthas enough rocker to be playful and float in softer snow. Very consistent flex from tip to tail, predictable in a carved turn, just all out fun and wickedly versatile.

For what type of terrain would you recommend this ski? Why does it perform well in that terrain?

Literally anything you can think of in terms of all-mountain freeride.

What's the appropriate ability level and/or style for this ski? Why is it appropriate for that type of skier?

Upper level intermediate all the way up to expert.

This is the perfect length. You can size down if you're in the middle because they are smoother and more stable than you may think.

What's your first impression of this ski? How did it feel?

It's quite difficult to think of a more composed and more well-rounded ski out there. I'm not entirely sure how they're going to go about improving this ski, it's incredibly complete. The smoothness is off the charts, it has awesome energy, it can go anywhere, and it's more powerful than you may think.

For what type of terrain would you recommend this ski? Why does it perform well in that terrain?

At 102/104 mm underfoot depending on length, this ski has the rare ability to carve better and float better than that waist width indicates. That makes it ideally suited for pretty much anything.

What's the appropriate ability level and/or style for this ski? Why is it appropriate for that type of skier?

This is an advanced and expert level ski although I could see an intermediate who's looking to progress and get into something wider enjoying this ski, as long as they go a bit shorter.

Anything else you want to tell us about your experience on these skis?

Where do they go from here? It's got to be pretty tough to make a ski like this any better. Good luck, Blizzard.

What's your first impression of this ski? How did it feel?

I really like the Rustler 10. I've said it before, but if I could eliminate park skiing from what I like to do on skis, I'd probably ski a Rustler 9 or Rustler 10 most days. I just love the blend of agility and strength. It's so easy to release the tail edge and manipulate the ski into quick slashy, drifty, fun turns. Then you can also let it run and I think it has a surprising amount of confidence and stability. That part is definitely subjective as someone bigger than me might not find as much stability, but it's plenty for me and how I like to ski. So fun in a variety of different conditions and terrain.

For what type of terrain would you recommend this ski? Why does it perform well in that terrain?

It's probably BEST in softer snow conditions and flowy natural terrain, but realistically it lays down turns on groomers pretty darn well too. It's easy to bend, so you can arc it into pretty short radius carves, which is super fun.

What's the appropriate ability level and/or style for this ski? Why is it appropriate for that type of skier?

It's kind of unnecessary for most intermediates, in my opinion, but also relatively approachable so it's definitely not an expert-only ski. You don't need to be a charger to have fun on it and its shape and forgiveness allows for some mistakes in technique, which is nice.

Anything else you want to tell us about your experience on these skis?

Carry forward graphic, so same ski as we had in 2026.

What's your first impression of this ski? How did it feel?

This ski is fantastic, super strong and aggressive when you want it but it’s also capable of subtle turns when you want to be more relaxed. The metal in the ski is the right blend that allows the skier to adjust their desired power when driving through the turn.

For what type of terrain would you recommend this ski? Why does it perform well in that terrain?

I would be happy on these skis across the whole mountain. They’re incredibly rewarding on more freeride oriented terrain but is really fun on everything from groomers to cliff drops.

What's the appropriate ability level and/or style for this ski? Why is it appropriate for that type of skier?

This ski in shorter lengths can be forgiving enough for beginners and the longer lengths are powerful enough for experts.
