| 0:00.0 | Hey everybody, welcome back to the Blister podcast on the Blister Podcast Network. |
| 0:07.8 | I'm Jonathan Ellsworth, and you can check out everything we're doing and reviewing over at blisterreview.com. |
| 0:16.8 | Our guest today is one of the best skiers in the world, and certainly when it comes to versatility, |
| 0:25.0 | Marcus Ader is one of the best to ever do it, which he has proven in slope-style comps, he has |
| 0:32.5 | proven in free ride world tour comps, and he has proven in films like The Ultimate Run. |
