What's up, everybody, and welcome back to Gear 30 on the Blister Podcast Network.

I'm Jonathan Ellsworth, the founder of Blister, and you can check out everything we're doing and

reviewing over at blisterreview.com.

Well, after having spent the last couple of weeks recording from our respective homes,

Luke Kappa and I were back in our beloved Blister headquarters at Elevation Hotel,

up here in Mount Crested Butte to hold this conversation in person.

Our primary order of business here was to have a debate about the kind of various pros and

cons of a whole bunch of AT bindings on the market, including the new for next season, Marker

Duke PT and the shift binding and the Daymaker Alpine adapters.

And then we talk about all of these bindings versus the category of frame bindings.

And then also what we think of these kind of heavier bindings, burlier bindings,

versus the category of tecto bindings.

And then from there, we actually attempt to do a lightning round

and talk about four brand new or newly updated touring skis.

And the primary thing we learned there is that Luke and I just really, really suck at lightning rounds.

And then, just for good measure, we ended

with a bit of a random review of the Tiger King, because of course, and why not? Now, just one thing

to note here, I really truly want to insist that you go do one thing. You have got to promise me that you are

going to go check out this week's episode of our Off the Couch podcast. This week I interview

Dom D. Tom D. Tomaso, who is an Australian free runner. And I think that Dom has to be regarded as very seriously one of the best

and most dynamic athletes in the world. Full stop. If this sounds like hyperbole to you,

just go check out his Instagram page, which is at Dom Tomato, D-O-M-Tomato, then tell me I'm wrong.
