Hey everybody and welcome back to another episode of Gear 30 on the Blister podcast network.

As always, we are proudly coming to you from our home base, an elevation hotel located in

Mountcrested Butte, Colorado. My name is Kara Williard and you can check out everything we're doing and reviewing

over at blisterreview.com. Over there, you can read all the latest reviews, listen to our

podcasts, register for next winter's blister summit event, become a blister plus member, and a whole

We also talk about another new ski in the lineup as well as next year's lineup as a whole

and all the other products that Bot Crows is delivering

these days such as ski poles, backpacks, and more. We also touch on Cammy's latest film project

and more. So stick around, but before we get going, this episode of Gear 30 is brought to you

by Bagbalm. Bagbalm is made in the U.S. in a small town in Vermont with very simple ingredients since 1899.

The lanolin enriched balms can be used on humans and animals.

Yep, the green tent is good for your dog's paws and your own skin.

Even though I've been born and raised in the Southwest, I still seem to be always

dealing with constantly dry skin. And so for me, bag balm is an essential. I have it in my ski bag,
