| 0:00.0 | Hey everybody, welcome to episode number 100 of Gear 30 on the Blister podcast network. |
| 0:13.5 | I'm Jonathan Ellsworthy, founder of Blister, and you can check out everything we're doing |
| 0:18.2 | and reviewing over at blisterreview.com. So yeah, episode number |
| 0:25.3 | 100. My How the Time Flies, and I want to say thanks to all of you for all of the words of |
| 0:31.9 | encouragement over the years and all of the great questions you've submitted. And I want to |
| 0:37.1 | thank every single person who has |
| 0:39.3 | come on this show. You all have made this what it is, and you all have proven what I believe |
| 0:46.9 | to be true, that if we created a place where we could just talk intelligently about gear and |
| 0:54.0 | really dive unapologetically into |
| 0:56.6 | the details and not just talking stupid clichés or dumb everything down into tiny little sound |
| 1:02.7 | bites. I believed that we would find an audience and in fact, thanks to you all, we have. And so again, I thank each and every one of you for being a part of this ride. |
| 1:16.4 | And of course, I do also need to say thanks for letting us on occasion get really stupid too, |
| 1:22.5 | because, you know, smart is cool, but sometimes stupid is pretty fun. |
| 1:27.4 | And I appreciate you guys indulging us |
| 1:29.1 | from time to time. Anyway, back when we launched Gear 30, there was one person and only one person |
| 1:36.5 | who I wanted to have on to be our very first guest. And if you know anything about Eric Hurlifson, |
| 1:47.4 | you already know why. And so for those exact same reasons as episode number 100 was approaching, I thought that it was only fitting to have |
| 1:53.6 | Hoji back on for the occasion. And so this time around, Hoji and I discuss all the tinkering that he's been doing during this time of quarantine. |
| 2:04.0 | What ski gear, he thinks, has the most room for improvement. |
| 2:08.3 | We talk about snowmobiles and we really go into climbing skins. |
| 2:13.8 | And we talk about the Pomoka and Forefront CoLab. |
| 2:17.6 | We then get talking about mono skiing and tele skiing and no boarding. |
