Hey everybody, welcome back to Gear 30 on the Blister Podcast Network.

I'm Jonathan Ellsworth, and you can check out everything we're doing and reviewing over

at blisterreview.com.

All right, today we've got another shop talk episode for you where we talk with one of our

Blister recommended shops about some of the favorite products that they've seen this year,

some of the trends that they've noticed in their particular corner of the world, and more.

And this is a really excellent addition to our shop talk series. This week, I talked with Lucas and Jeff from Gear West in Long Lake

Minnesota. And honestly, these two were kind of on fire with the gear that they were talking about, the trends that they were identifying, the new gear that they were highlighting.

Shout out in particular to Jeff on that front.

And so, yeah, Lucas and Jeff, job very well done.

And just before we get started, I do want to make sure that you are all aware that we have

been rolling out our videos of our panel sessions from this Blister Summit that we held

this past February here in Mount Crested Butte.

And you can either go to our Blister website or go to our YouTube

channel, just punch in Blister Review, and that will come up. But I am extremely pleased and proud

with the conversations that we had at the summit. We had so many incredible panelists. And frankly,

I think if you are not catching these conversations, I actually think you may be missing out

on some of the most important conversations that happened this winter in the ski industry.

That's just my opinion. See for yourself. So check out those

videos on the Blister website or on our YouTube channel. But for now, let's go ahead and get to

this terrific conversation with Lucas and Jeff from Gear West, where we're talking about a whole bunch of ski gear and

trends, and there's going to be a whole bunch of snowboard talk, too. And so, here we go.
