Built with a full woodcore, it brings real freeride character to a junior platform.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy we like it:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost junior freeride skis water down the personality of their adult counterparts, but the Rustler Team Jr keeps the freeride DNA front and center. The wider 90-mm waist and full woodcore give it a real all-mountain feel that prepares kids for the adult Rustler line down the road.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho it's for:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJunior freeride skiers and aggressive young rippers. Best for groms who already ski the whole mountain with confidence, kids in deeper-snow regions who want a wider junior ski, and skiers ready to tackle softer snow and bigger terrain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHighlights:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Rustler Team Jr uses a full woodcore construction, which is a step up from the composite cores typical of standard junior skis. That wood core gives the ski a more refined feel underfoot with better edge connection and more consistent flex behavior. Dynamic Release Technology is the construction approach Blizzard uses to deliver a ski that flexes naturally and releases turns smoothly under junior loads. The freeride-derived shape combines a rockered tip, camber underfoot, and rockered tail with a 90-mm waist that gives kids real soft-snow capability and freestyle-friendly versatility. Suggested binding pairing is the Marker Royal, which fits the ski's freeride personality. The lengths from 132 to 164 cm cover advancing junior skiers through into adult-equivalent sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThings to consider:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wider waist and freeride personality make this less suited to kids whose skiing is mostly groomer-based. Smaller or less-experienced skiers would also be better served by a narrower, easier ski like the Pearl Jr or Anomaly Jr.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFit \u0026amp; sizing considerations:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSkis true to length. Pick the length that matches your child's height and ability, or size up if they ski aggressively in bigger terrain.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blizzard","offers":[{"title":"132","offer_id":51745310507304,"sku":"8A536400|132","price":399.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"140","offer_id":51745310540072,"sku":"8A536400|140","price":399.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"148","offer_id":51745310572840,"sku":"8A536400|148","price":399.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"156","offer_id":51745310605608,"sku":"8A536400|156","price":399.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"164","offer_id":51745310638376,"sku":"8A536400|164","price":399.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0670\/5135\/6456\/files\/2026-blizzard-rustler-team-jr-skis-8a536400-1-8a536400.jpg?v=1778769534","url":"https:\/\/checkout.skiessentials.com\/products\/2026-blizzard-rustler-team-jr-skis-8a536400","provider":"Ski Essentials","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
