- Rustler 9 and Rustler 10 are anchored at 162cm (1,590g and 1,640g per ski, 14m and 14.5m radius); Rustler 11 is anchored at 168cm (1,820g, 16m)
- Rustler 11 is published in five lengths from 168 to 192cm; Rustler 10 in six from 162 to 192cm; Rustler 9 in five from 162 to 186cm
- None of the three displays an MSRP or flex rating on snowsift.com

The 2027 Blizzard Rustler line is published at three widths: the Rustler 9 at 96mm, the Rustler 10 at 102mm and the Rustler 11 at 112mm underfoot. All three list a rocker-camber-rocker profile and the same construction, so on paper the lineup differs by width, length run, and the weight and radius that come with them.
The three skis, side by side
| Spec | Rustler 9 | Rustler 10 | Rustler 11 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Waist (at anchor length) | 96mm | 102mm | 112mm |
| Tip / tail width | 128 / 117.5mm | 132.5 / 121.5mm | 140 / 130mm |
| Sidecut radius | 14m | 14.5m | 16m |
| Weight (per ski) | 1,590g | 1,640g | 1,820g |
| Anchor length | 162cm | 162cm | 168cm |
| Profile | Rocker-camber-rocker | Rocker-camber-rocker | Rocker-camber-rocker |
| Construction | FluxForm Freeride Ti + Trueblend Free | FluxForm Freeride Ti + Trueblend Free | FluxForm Freeride Ti + Trueblend Free |
| Core | Trueblend Free Woodcore | Trueblend Free Woodcore | Trueblend Free Woodcore |
| Lengths | 162, 168, 174, 180, 186cm | 162, 168, 174, 180, 186, 192cm | 168, 174, 180, 186, 192cm |
| Flex | Not published | Not published | Not published |
| MSRP | Not published | Not published | Not published |
| Season | 2027 | 2027 | 2027 |
Specs are as published by the manufacturer. Tip width, tail width, radius and weight vary with length, so each is shown at that ski's shortest published length (the anchor row). Waist width is quoted at the same anchor lengths, but a ski's waist changes little with length, so the steps between these three are real differences.
What the sheets say
Width steps up unevenly. The Rustler 9 to Rustler 10 step is 6mm underfoot; the Rustler 10 to Rustler 11 step is 10mm. Both steps are much larger than the little a ski's waist changes with length, which is not true of the other figures in the table.
Weight and radius cannot be lined up across the whole lineup. The Rustler 9 and Rustler 10 are anchored at 162cm, so those two can be compared with each other: 1,590g against 1,640g per ski, and a 14m radius against 14.5m. The Rustler 11 starts at 168cm, 6cm longer, so its 1,820g and 16m are not a like-for-like comparison with the other two. For a fair weight or radius comparison, check each ski's product page at the same length.
Construction and profile are shared. All three list FluxForm Freeride Ti + Trueblend Free construction over a Trueblend Free woodcore, and all three list a rocker-camber-rocker profile. We report the names as published and make no claim about how the skis ski.
The length runs differ at both ends. The Rustler 9 stops at 186cm, the Rustler 11 starts at 168cm, and only the Rustler 10 spans 162 to 192cm. See how to choose ski length for sizing.
Flex and price are blank. None of the three has a flex rating or MSRP displayed. We show those as not published rather than guess.
How the line sits next to Blizzard's Canvas
If you are weighing the widest Rustler against a Canvas, the Blizzard Canvas 108 vs Rustler 11 comparison covers that pair, and the Canvas 108 product page lists its specs.
Summary
- Waist: 96mm, 102mm and 112mm.
- Rustler 9 vs 10 at 162cm: 50g and 0.5m of radius apart.
- Rustler 11: anchored at 168cm, so weight and radius are not like-for-like with the other two.
- Profile, construction, core: the same on all three.
- Flex and MSRP: not published for any of them.
Every figure on this page comes from the manufacturer's own page for the 2027 ski. A value is shown only when two separate reads of that page agree, and the verification record for each product is on its page. Here is how we match products and verify specs.

Frequently asked questions
- What is the difference between the Blizzard Rustler 9, Rustler 10 and Rustler 11?
- Width is the clearest published difference: 96mm for the Rustler 9, 102mm for the Rustler 10 and 112mm for the Rustler 11. All three list a rocker-camber-rocker profile, the FluxForm Freeride Ti + Trueblend Free construction and a Trueblend Free woodcore. Weight and radius are published at each ski's shortest length, which is 162cm for the Rustler 9 and 10 and 168cm for the Rustler 11.
- Which is the widest Rustler, the 9, 10 or 11?
- The Rustler 11, at 112mm underfoot at its shortest length (168cm). The Rustler 10 is 102mm and the Rustler 9 is 96mm at theirs (162cm). A ski's waist changes little with length, so those 6mm and 10mm steps are real differences.
- Which Rustler is lightest, the Rustler 9, 10 or 11?
- Per ski, the published figures are 1,590g (Rustler 9, 162cm), 1,640g (Rustler 10, 162cm) and 1,820g (Rustler 11, 168cm). The Rustler 11 figure is at a different length, so it is not like-for-like with the other two.
- Do the Rustler 9, 10 and 11 come in the same lengths?
- Not exactly. The Rustler 9 is published in 162, 168, 174, 180 and 186cm. The Rustler 10 adds a 192cm: 162, 168, 174, 180, 186 and 192cm. The Rustler 11 is published in 168, 174, 180, 186 and 192cm.
