2027 Blizzard Rustler 10 - SkiEssentials Ski Test Review
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.

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.

Reviewed as the 2027 model.
The Soul 102 features a sheet of metal, a 16-meter radius, and a tapered tail for intuitive carving and effortless slurring in bumps. Positioned alongside the metal-free, straight-cut Sender 100, the Soul 102 provides exceptional damping and confidence on steep, icy, and tracked snow.

2027 Rossignol Soul 102 - SkiEssentials Ski Test Review
SkiEssentials · 17 Aug 2026 · 180 cm tested
Reviewed as the 2027 model.
Matt from SkiEssentials reviews the 2027 Rossignol Soul 102, which features updated graphics over an unchanged construction. Built with a poplar wood core, titanal, fiberglass, and vibration absorption technology, the ski offers exceptional smoothness, stability, and edge hold at speed. While the stiff tail and straighter sidecut require deliberate pilot input, ample rocker provides solid flotation and versatility across soft snow and mixed terrain.
