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

0:11.8

I'm Jonathan Ellsworth and you can check out everything we're up to, including all of our other

0:17.6

podcasts over at blisterreview.com.

0:23.4

Okay, today we've got Mike McKay back on the show to catch us up to speed on what's

0:29.6

been going on at Folsom and to go over Folsom Ski's lineup for this coming season.

0:36.6

And then near the end, Mike actually flips the script on me,

ship out in about a week. We've been saying mid-October, and that still looks to be correct.
