That was sort of my other challenge after the blisters, is we, you know, we sort of reached a point where I thought we were 90% of the way there, and it turned out we were only at like 12-6 in terms of the vertical.

And we still had another almost 1,500 avert to go.

And I was like, I don't know how on earth, how on other earth I'm going to do this.

Episode 1066 with Matt Laskinick skiing his first 14er.

You're listening to the Adventure Sports podcast brought to you by 180 Tech.

We talk with adventurers from around the globe to bring you the inspiration and motivation

you need to get started in the outdoors or to keep you moving if you're already there.

Now here's your host, Kurt Lindbilt.

Hello everyone and welcome to the Adventure Sports podcast.

So a little bit of housekeeping for starting out.

If you did not hear the last episode, 1065, then there's some news to catch up on. This is Kurt Linville,

not Mason Gravely, obviously. Mason got too busy in life, and he and I agreed that I would start taking over the show again.

So if you haven't heard the details on that, that's in the last episode.

But anyway, you've got me, and I'm excited to once again be part of the Adventure Sports podcast.

I believe that this show has so much value, not just because it's fun and we celebrate

fun, but because by encouraging people to get out and try new sports, get involved with nature,

more family time, more friendship time, more time moving and being healthy, I think it makes a

difference, a positive difference in the world. That's the goal of the

adventure sports podcast. So today's subject is kind of on skiing, but it's also on 14ers.

And I think we're going to spend a lot of time on skiing. Ski season, at least in North America,

is wrapping up.

A lot of the resorts are closed.
