Hey everybody, welcome back to Gear 30 on the Blister podcast network, where we are very proudly based out of Elevation Hotel right here in Mount Crested Bute.

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

reviewing over at blisterreview.com. Carve is a very slick and very sophisticated system

that aims to help skiers improve our skiing and have more fun on snow.

First of all, we're going to see how well Carve accomplishes their goals

that we are getting from Carve provides insights that could actually enhance our ski reviews.

This is a project that our reviewers are excited about, and joining us today to talk about it

all are Marcus Kasten,

who is one of my personal favorite skiers and who is unquestionably one of the most

technically proficient all mountain skiers out there. And Marcus is joined by Alex Jackson,

who, as you are about to see, is the very sharp, co-founder of

Carve. And while you're listening to this conversation, I'd encourage you to spend some time

on the Carve website. It's at getcarvec-c-arv.com, and especially check out the Sensors section of their website because there you're going to get

to see the newest Carve 2 system that we are going to be talking about today and it is very

cool.
