Hey, everybody, welcome back to the Blister Podcast on the Blister Podcast Network.

I'm Jonathan Ellsworth, and you can check out everything we're doing and reviewing over

at blisterreview.com.

Today, I am talking with our Blister reviewer and Blister Summit director, Kristen Sinott,

about two big updates here at Blister for 2026, and the first of these starts on January 1st,

2026, which, wow, that's in like 10 days.

So yeah, on January 1st, we've got some big changes coming to Blister Plus and some really exciting ones.

We are now covering an additional 20 outdoor activities, bringing that number up to 50 outdoor activities that are covered under Blister Plus, and yes, that

coverage still extends everywhere in the world and everyone, anywhere in the world of any age,

younger old, is still eligible to sign up. So Kristen and I are going to talk about the new changes. That's about

a 15 to 20 minute conversation about Blister Plus, and I would strongly encourage you to listen

closely, and then please share this episode with anyone you know who might benefit from

any or all of the benefits that come with a Blister Plus membership.

Then, Kristen and I talk about our 2026 Blister Summit, which is happening at Snowbird and kicks off on

April 13th. So she and I talk about a few more of the details there.

And of course, let me know if you like the new name for the summit that I came up with during our conversation.

As Kristen says, it kind of just rolls right off the tongue.

Okay, now before we get started, I want to give a shout out to a few very

badass, very cool ladies who all happen to have their Blister Plus memberships renew on the same

day last week. And fun fact, they've actually also all been on this Blister podcast.

I'm talking about professional skiers, Kate Zellif, Molly Arminino, and Amy David.

Yeah, Mark on our team pointed out to me that they all renewed on the same day, and we thought that was a pretty cool coincidence.
