But, again, the Rustler 10’s rocker profile is more similar to more playful skis than it is to more traditional, directional ones. Compared to more freestyle-oriented skis like the ON3P Jeffrey 108 and Prior Northwest 110, the Rustler 10’s rocker profile is a bit mellower (shallower lines and less splay). Compared to the Blizzard Cochise and Bonafide (Blizzard’s more directional options in this category), the Rustler 10 has deeper rocker lines and a lot more tail splay. Its tail isn’t quite a true twin, but at 41 mm, its tail splay is still pretty high. The Rustler 10’s rocker profile isn’t quite as traditional, with pretty deep rocker lines at both the tips and tails. Skis like the Moment Wildcat 108, ON3P Woodsman 108, and Line Sick Day 104 all have notably more tip and tail taper. It’s still got a pretty minimal amount of taper - especially for a ski in the “more playful” end of the spectrum. The Rustler 10’s shape and rocker profile remain the same in the 19/20 version. Let’s take a closer look at the new ski’s design to see what this actually translates to in reality. Well, Blizzard says that the new version of the ski is supposed to be more stable at speed, while still retaining much of the playfulness and accessibility of the previous version. Particularly, the Rustler 10 didn’t feel all that stable at speed, which we thought limited its versatility for inbounds use. When we reviewed the previous version of the Rustler 10, several of us got along very well with it, but we also thought there was room for improvement.

The new Rustler 10 returns unchanged for 20/21, apart from graphics. The Rustler 10 has served as Blizzard’s mid-fat, playful all-mountain ski for the past two seasons, and they’re tweaking it for 19/20 (the Rustler 9, Rustler 11, and women’s Sheeva skis return unchanged, apart from graphics).
