There also was no noticeable tip flap, or any issues with tip deflection. There was not tip deflection as I plowed through and over the snow. The ski has a nice damp feel, but not so damp that it feels dead. I really liked the feel of the Rustler 11 in the variable conditions I found them in. The titanal layer adds a nice bit of stiffness under foot, and as it tapers it gives the ski a nice feel in the chopped up crud and cut up pow that I was playing in off-piste. They are relatively light with a ISO-Paulownia-Balsa-Poplar-Beech wood core. There is a layer of titanal that is tapered toward the tip and tail. Blizzard also has changed the layup of the Rustler from the now retired Gunsmoke version. The Rustler comes with both tip and tail rocker, however, the tip rocker is very gradual and the tail rocker is very subtle and minimal. Dims for the 180cm version that I demo'd were 139-112-129. The new Blizzard Rustler 11 is brand new offering from Blizzard and replaces the venerable Gunsmoke that had quite the cult following. Suffice to say variable conditions were on hand for anyone venturing off the groomer trails. Temps had gotten up to just about 0C at the end of the prior day, so the snow was a bit on the heavier side, and on South and SW facing aspects a bit of a very slight hint of a freeze layer underneath 5cm that had fallen during the night. Off-piste was 30cm of cut up pow from a storm that had come through the day prior. Lower down the spring warmth softened things up nicely. Conditions were fast hard groomers up high. Got a chance to ski on the Blizzard Rustler 11 last weekend at local ski hill.
