Further evolution of the famous powder machine "RUSTLER" series

Signboard model "RUSTER" in the freeride category.
A well-established powder ride masterpiece has been updated with new technology for the 2023-2024 season. We developed a core blended with wood specially for free riding called "TRUEBLEND FREE RIDE" and installed it in RUSTER.

A well-balanced blend of woods with different properties from poplar, paulownia, and beach. TRUEBLEND technology allows the ski to precisely control flex from tip to tail. A firmer flex zone in the center that gives the skier greater stability and edge grip, a medium flex zone in the front and back of the binding for greater control, and a softer flex zone in the top and tail for easier turn initiation and release. As a result, the torsion is set softly, and the operability in powder has increased. One of the features is that it has higher rotation than the radius arc.



In addition, metal is laminated around the center, and it has reliable edge grip and controllability even in hard burns. It is an expert finish that combines ease of movement at low speeds, stability at high speeds, controllability and power transmission.

RUSTLER 10|D=: 134-102-123mm (180cm)|L=162, 168, 174, 180, 186, 192cm|R=14,5; 15,5; 16,5; 17,5; 18,5; 19,5m (180cm)|¥136,400

Freeride ladies' best model "SHEEVA" also updated

SHEEVA 11 |D=140-112-130mm (174cm)|L=168, 174, 189cm|R=16; 17,5; 19m (174cm)|¥137,500

SEEVA, which can be said to be the female version of RUSTER, has also evolved in the 2023-2024 season. I adopt TRUEBLEND technology similarly. As a high-end freeride model for women, it supports women who are aggressive all-mountain skiers.                                                                                                                                                           

Also pay attention to the new "ZERO G APPROACH SERIES" of the tour line!

ZERO G 094 APPROACH |D=127-94-111mm (178cm)|L=157, 164, 171, 178, 185cm|R=15; 16; 18; 20; 21mm (178cm)|¥114,400

ZERO G APPROACH as backcountry touring. In the 2023-24 season, paulownia wood is the main core material, and poplar wood supports sliding to maintain stability. With a 171cm center 84mm width type and a light weight of 1240g, it has become possible to earn more walking time and distance in the great outdoors. It is the most active model in scenes where hiking and gliding are the main activities.



BRAND features

A well-established Austrian brand founded in 1945. It has a long track record in the Aspen race scene in Europe and the United States, but in 2006 it became a subsidiary of the Technica Group due to industry trends. BLIZZARD has a wide range of lineups from racing models to freeride and tour skis, but in recent years the freeride line has been growing remarkably due to the increasing usage rate in FWT (Freeride Word Tour).

The models "RUSTER" and "SEEVA", which represent the freeride line, are characterized by their light weight and high gliding performance, and are highly regarded as masterpieces. There is a background that the development team consisting of engineers and riders is united, and thorough tests are repeated to create better products.
