Blizzard Anomaly 102: Versatile and Powerful
Drcr · 21 Oct 2025 · 182 cm tested
Reviewed as the 2025 model.
Tested across changing off-piste and groomed conditions, the Blizzard Anomaly 102 impressed with its dampening ability, solid edge grip on hardpack, and reliable float in fresh snow. Though demanding due to its size and turning radius, it remains comfortable when cruising and powerfully blasts through tracked, crusty snow. The reviewer gave it a 10/10.

Blizzard Anomaly 102: Very good versatile ski, a true all-mountain
T0M · 26 Feb 2025 · 192 cm tested
Reviewed as the 2025 model.
The tester found the Blizzard Anomaly 102 to be an impressive, characterful all-mountain ski that carves cleanly with great edge hold on groomers and powers through chop and varied off-piste conditions. While demanding, physical, and somewhat heavy in the air for freestyle, it remains playful and easier to manage than a Mantra M7. The tester scored it 9/10.
“Un ski qui a du caractère, j'aime ça.” (T0M)
Why this one: Tester weighs 70 kg, within 20 kg of you.

SkiEssentials · 17 Aug 2026 · 174 cm tested
Reviewed as the 2027 model.
The Blizzard Rustler 10 is reviewed as a carryover model featuring a TrueBlend wood core and FluxForm metal laminate. It offers an energetic and balanced flex suitable for mixed snow, variable terrain, and soft days. The ski balances strong on-trail carving edge hold with floatation and maneuverability in trees and bumps thanks to prominent tip and tail splay.
Why this one: Tester weight not stated.

Testers evaluate the revamped Blizzard Rustler 10 at Mammoth Mountain. The updated design features a modified titanal frame and more tail rocker, resulting in a surfy, playful ride that slashes with ease while inspiring confidence on varied terrain. It provides dependable edge hold and fast stability thanks to underfoot metal, while navigating chop smoothly across the mountain.
