What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:"The Hustle 11 is my touring ski of choice when I want real downhill performance. It’s light enough to make long skins manageable, but once I drop in, the ski feels like a freeride charger. The 112mm waist floats beautifully, and the Carbon DRT gives me confidence at speed. It’s the best balance I’ve found between uphill efficiency and downhill fun."Who It’s ForAdvanced Backcountry and Freeride Skiers:Ideal for skiers who earn their turns but don’t want to compromise on the descent. The Hustle 11 suits confident riders seeking float in powder, stability at speed, and reliable edge hold when the conditions vary. What It’s ForBig Mountain Touring and Powder Lines:Purpose-built for backcountry missions and freeride adventures, the Hustle 11 shines on untouched powder fields, alpine faces, and long technical descents. Its lightweight core helps on the skin track, while the powerful construction delivers downhill confidence. Why We Like ItLightweight Climb, Hard-Charging Descent:We love the Hustle 11 because it doesn’t force us to pick between uphill efficiency and downhill muscle. The beech, poplar, and paulownia core saves weight, while Carbon DRT keeps it damp and stable. Rocker in the tip and tail makes it maneuverable, and the sintered base ensures glide on long exits.
