| 0:00.0 | Hey everybody, welcome back to Gear 30 on the Blister Podcast Network. |
| 0:09.3 | I'm Jonathan Ellsworth, and you can check out everything we're doing and reviewing over at |
| 0:14.7 | blisterreview.com. |
| 0:18.1 | Okay, today we've got Matt Manzer, who is the global product manager of Atomic Ski Boots, back on Gear 30 for yet another very deep dive. |
| 0:28.8 | And if you haven't listened to all of our previous six deep dive episodes, well, then seriously, I think maybe you need to ask yourself, do you even care about gear? |

| 1:43.0 | this is an event that we are certain that |

| 1:49.9 | in the show notes of this episode or go to the navigation bar of our website where it very |
| 1:55.1 | clearly says, Blister Summit. |
| 1:57.5 | Well, then honestly, maybe you really just are not cut out for the summit, and it's |
