Blizzard Rustler 11

I can fully subscribe to what is written on the sidewall of the Blizzard Rustler: "Live The Moment". Three words that can easily be applied to other areas of life, but are definitely the law with the Rustler under your feet. I've taken a closer look at the award-winning steam hammer over the last two seasons.

To be honest, I don't even know how I came up with this Gear of the Week. I think it rather found me! I had been looking for skis that would suit my needs for some time, namely slalom skis for pre-season preparation on the piste and for in-between, a powder ski for fat days, an everyday freeride ski and an early-season touring ski for 2,000 vertical meters plus, narrow couloirs and alpine adventures.

When I saw the Duke last year, I knew I had to test it and it had to go on the Rustler 11. I had already bought the first Duke back then and was a big fan, but then switched to ATK as the material developed.
