Blizzard Rustler 10 Skis 2026

The 2026 Blizzard Rustler 10 is the Jack-of-all-trades of the Rustler family. At 102MM underfoot, it’s not too wide or narrow, but instead, it’s just right. Shoutout Goldilocks. The Rustler 10 skis shockingly well on hardpack. To clarify, I’m not shocked that it skis well on hardpack (it’s a Blizzard), I’m shocked at how well it skis on hardpack. For a ski this wide, and also this playful honestly, the Rustler 10 has no problem carving a fierce turn with grip and power.

In more variable conditions and terrain, it maintains plenty of that playful feel the Rustler has been known for since the series’ inception. It’s not quite as easy to toss around as the older version of the ski, but it has the right amount of maneuverability to make tight turns and pivot through tighter terrain effortlessly. The trade-off is a little less maneuverability, and more power for skiing aggressively, railing turns and mowing through crud and turbulent afternoon snowpack with a smooth and undemanding feeling.

All the Rustlers are money, the 9 and 10 are both really good at everything. If you’re between the two, go 9 if groomer performance is your priority, and go 10 if off-trail performance is your priority. Either way, you’re getting one of the best skis.

Shout out to Blizzard this season for the unreal graphic update. The skis now look as good as they perform.
