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 Jonathan Ellsworth, the founder of Blister, and you can check out everything.

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

Today, we are running part two of our gear therapy little mini-series.

A skier learns to snowboard.

And that skier learning to snowboard would be me. So joining me once again

is Blister Snowboard Reviewer and Blister podcast producer extraordinaire, the strikingly handsome

Justin Bob. And while last week, J. Bob fielded a number of my broader, more non-gear-related questions about

what it's going to look like as a skier moving into and trying to figure out how to snowboard.

Well, this week, we are getting into the nitty, gritty details about the gear.

So I have more questions.

We talk about what I'm trying to do and what I'm not trying to do.

And then you get to hear Justin give his best recommendations when it comes to specific

snowboards and snowboard lengths and snowboard boots and bindings and some protective gear,

like cute neon colored wrist guards. We maybe talked about that. We did talk about that.

And finally, near the end of the episode, we raised the question of how many days J. Bob thinks

I'm going to have to be on a board before I'm more or less comfortable riding the headwall

here in Crested Bute. That's actually a pretty interesting conversation that gets into a little bit about

the respective learning curves when it comes to skiing versus snowboarding. So lots of good

stuff in this conversation. This episode is presented by our Blister recommended shop, Boone Mountain

Sports, which is hosting a big parking lot party,

celebrating the last day of school on Friday, May 24th, with live music, food, end-of-season
