Ok, now we're talking. Take the proven Rustler 9 platform, substitute a carbon and fiberglass DRT laminate for the Titanal one to drop weight but keep the classic Blizzard edgehold and precision, and BAM, you've got a ripper's delight that's light enough to tour on but still has the guts to serve as your daily driver. The new Blizzard Hustle 9 Skis are the droids you seek.
Rocker Camber Rocker – Ski profile with rocker at the tip and tail, camber in the middle. Reducing the pressure on the edge at the tip and tail makes the ski even easier to handle and increases flotation on powder snow. The camber guarantees great grip on packed snow.
Shape Concept – Progressive wide body style with an aggressive radius. Early rise tail designed to be playful in softer snow.
TrueBlend Free Core – Combining Beech, Poplar and Paulownia woods in a uniquely balanced blend that's tailored to the performance needs of each Hustler ski, the TrueBlend Free cores are labor-intensive but worth the extra effort.
Carbon Flipcore Technology – A revolutionary rockered ski production process that incorporates a uni-directional carbon frame onto the core of the ski that results in great performance with a light and easy feel.
Carbon D.R.T. – The Dynamic Release Technology concept has been thoroughly tested and enthusiastically approved by users of the Rustler series skis, and the carbon iteration pushes the D.R.T. concept even further. Using a shorter Carbon and fiberglass insert rather than Titanal allows Blizzard to keep the strength and stability with less weight.
Sandwich Compound Sidewall – All Blizzard skis with the exception of some junior skis are built with ABS or Phenol sidewalls for superior performance (stability, power transmission, handling) and durability.

When the Salomon S/Lab Shift MNC 13 Alpine Touring Ski Bindings first dropped, they represented a quantum leap forward in freeride binding design. Combining the smooth uphill performance of pin technology with the added safety, reliability, and power transfer of fully DIN certified release, they're a fantastic choice for skiers looking to service both resort and backcountry riding on a single setup. MNC compatibility means they play nice with almost every boot in the known universe - a comforting notion given the dizzying array of options. For backcountry beginners and grizzled vets alike, the Salomon S/Lab Shift MNC 13 Alpine Touring Ski Bindings are in a class of their own.
Dual Mode Toepiece – MNC (Multi-Norm Certified) for skiing, including Alpine, Grip Walk, WTR, and ISO 9523 soles. Converts to a tech toe for touring (requires a boot with tech toe fittings).
Automatic Wing Adjustment – Automatic adjustment just by stepping-in. You can forget but nevertheless trust your binding!
Toe Height Adjustment – Adjustable toe height to let you switch between different boot norms.
Easy Step-In – Less effort needed to step-in and out of bindings
