0:00.0	Hey everybody, welcome back to Gear 30 on the Blister Podcast Network.
0:09.9	I'm Jonathan Ellsworth, and you can check out everything we're doing and reviewing over
0:15.2	at blisterreview.com.
0:19.1	Today on the show, we are talking with Mike McCabe, who is the head ski builder and CEO and
0:25.6	owner of Folsom Custom Skies.
0:29.0	And turns out there is a whole lot going on with Folsom for this upcoming season, and
0:35.5	Mike and I cover most of it.
0:38.4	So among the things we talk about, while Mike clarifies for us the various families
0:43.5	within the different Folsom shapes and models, we also talk about a couple of new, very

2:03.8	And if you want the print guide, you should probably hurry up and get your order in. Because as I have said and predicted, I think we are going to probably be running out of those guides sooner than later.
2:11.0	We always do a limited edition run of the print guide, and so get them while you can.
