Am I ready for the Blizzard Rustler 11 2027?
The Blizzard Rustler 11 is a 112 to 114 mm ski that feels easy-going overall. Here is where you stand against it, worked out from its published flex, radius and weight.

You are close. One thing to build first. On groomed snow its edge hold for your level is slides, and it is built more for soft and powder snow.
