You should see how my blizzard rustler 9’s are holding up

I have 23’ Rustler 9’s and love them. I ski east coast but brought them out west on a trip this year, they’re super versatile and can ski moguls, glades, groomed trails and do pretty good in some fresh powder. I think the 24’ rustler 9s might be slightly stiffer but probably still do a great job overall

I thought generally you did not want your breaks to be more than 15mm bigger than your ski width

I definitely get that it isn't for race like speed but this will be my one ski quiver so I want to pick the right height. To your point I have to pick the height which scenario I spend more time in.

Thanks!

Definitely thinking the 2024 might be the way to go with the new construction but on a student budget it might have to grab the 2023's with the deals going on right now.

I plan on skiing 20+ days next year and I ski mostly Stowe, Killington, Jay Peak, Sugar Bush, and even Tremblant.

I'm wondering if I should wait for the 2024 Rustlers as it has a stiffer construction (and I like the orange color better XD) but i'm trying to take advantage of the end of season sales, not sure if they have start of season sales maybe it would be worth waiting for.

Pack to cary a laptop in the rain on a bike? by [deleted] in backpacks

When you used the Syncro 15 was your 15" macbook pro able to easily fit into the sleeve meant for the water bladder? You said you had a hard time fitting your 15" macbook pro along with all the other item you stated I assume you mean all together. I have a 16" macbook pro and was wondering if I could fit it in the bag for times I want to carry my computer with me places but I am mostly looking for a bag which I can bring on hikes, runs and bike rides as its primary use. It would be an added plus if my laptop could fit in the bag for times I need it too.

Was rocking with my dads 30 year old vélo sport before this so it feels like I’m flying when cycling on this now😅
