Hey everybody, welcome back to Gear 30 on the Blister Podcast Network.

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

Well, as many of you know, we wrapped up a few weeks ago our Blister Summit in Mount Crested

Butte.

And a couple weeks ago on Gear 30, Luke Kappa and I shared some of our initial impressions

of some of the skis that he and I got on at the Blister Summit.

We also alluded in that episode to the fact

that we were going to be giving some of our other reviewers a bit of a break because frankly,

they all put in a ton of work at the summit. And so Luke and I thought, you know, we're going to

bring them back in at another moment. And he Luke and I thought, you know, we're going to bring them back in at another

moment. And he and I just tried to string some sentences together since you and I were both

pretty tired ourselves. Well, anyway, today is the day where we make good on that promise to

bring back our other reviewers. And so what you are going to hear today is a conversation between

our Blister Summit director, Kristen Sinott, and Blister reviewers Kara Williard and Sasha Anastis.

So they are going to get started by talking a bit about the summit and sharing some of their

own impressions and maybe a few of the highlights.

And then they're going to do what Luke and I did, which is talk about some of the skis that

they had a chance to get on and what their impressions were.

So that is what we have in store for you here today.

And now, here is Kristen, Kara, and Sasha.

Here we go. So here we are. Now, here is Kristen, Kara, and Sasha.

Here we go.
