Hey everybody, welcome back to Gear 30 on the Blister podcast network, where we are very

proudly based out of Elevation Hotel in Mount Crested Butte, Colorado. I'm your host, Jonathan

Ellsworth. Well, today I'm also kind of the guest.

We'll get to that in a minute.

But you can check out everything.

We're doing and reviewing over at blisterreview.com.

So today we are firing back up again, our gear therapy series, and this time around, I am actually the guest,

because as many of our faithful listeners of Gear 30 know, I still got to go get on a snowboard.

And so for these next two episodes of Gear 30, the strikingly handsome Justin Bob is actually going to be

our therapist here, and I am going to be on the couch asking many of my, well, probably

really stupid questions. I think I do sneak some smart questions in here, but whether you are a skier who has never been on a snowboard before and you are, you know, kind of bi-curious about that, or whether you're a snowboarder wondering what kind of dumb questions skiers have about your sport? Well, that's what we're up to here

today. And I got to say, J. Bob seemed to offer a lot of really smart answers to many of my

questions. I think he did a great job in this. And we'll explain in a minute here why we're

breaking this up into two parts.

But I think there's a good rationale.

And frankly, I think however you like sliding around on snow, whether you think sideways

and move sideways, to paraphrase J-Bob, or whether you are that skier, I think hopefully these conversations will, first of all,

make you laugh a bit, but secondly, get you thinking a bit about how we actually approach,

go about, and learn these different sports and their particular skill sets. This episode of Gear 30 is presented by Powderhound, which is our blister recommended shop

in Girdwood, Alaska.

Powderhound is currently having some amazing spring sales, so go get the goods.

Well, you can.
