WTB - Blizzard Rustler 9 180 or similar
I bought my first seasons pass after many years in the backcountry, need to pick up a one ski resort quiver killer. Im looking for a good ski for groomers and bumps with the occasional first chair pow lap before it gets skied up.
Rossignol Experience 94 also look good.
im 5'11" and 170 lbs

What do you ski in the backcountry? Have you skied either of those skis? Other than waist size, the Rustler9 and E94 are not similar.

I can tell you that the Rossi will be demanding in bumps, relatively narrow to be quick but stiff and you'll be poppin outta troughs launching 2 attatime...
They will be outstanding ripping the groomed and as a DD but will be less fun in soft snow. Still very stable and easy to rip in less than a foot.
As Jackattack says, not the same kinda skis. Once you start looking at top tier boards, they tend to perform in a more refined manner depending on build.

Soft and forgiving =\= stable and fast
In some ways the rustler could be what you seek, if you like a more progressive stance. The rocker profile should make for a quick turner but lay it on edge, with the ti laminate, it should hold.
My personal favorite low-tide ski from last season is the Dynastar menace 98, sort of an old freestyle design, burly, damp, playful, cheap.

If you want to look more into the Dynastar option given, I'm pretty sure the Menace is just a rebranded Slicer and you can get those for under $250 new.

You should probably be on 95-105mm directional charger.
If you ever get up to Aspen, I’ve got a bunch I’d sell cheap.

Blizzard Rustler 9 is a good option, in my opinion, but for western resorts I'd go with the 10. Forgiving ski but still stiff enough to power through stuff.

179 Wren 108 on CAST at 295mm.
Too many skis in my garage and I can’t get off my 96s or Billy Goats.

Lost track of user names and didn’t see it was the OP with the K2 purchase! My bad, deleted post and head hung in shame......
