Hey everybody. Welcome back to another episode of Gear 30 on the Blister podcast Network. As always,

we are coming to you from our home base in Elevation Hotel in Mount Crested Bute. My name is Luke Kappa.

I am the managing editor at Blister, and you can check out everything

we are doing and reviewing over at blisterreview.com. There, you can read all of our latest reviews,

listen to all of our latest podcasts, watch all of our latest videos, learn about our Blister Plus

membership program, and a whole lot more.

For today's episode, I sat down with Kristen Sinott, Jonathan Ellsworth, Kara Williard,

and Justin Bob to do a bit of a recap on our 2024 Blister Summit, which took place in Mount

Crested Butte last week. We go over a few of the many highlights of the event and then

discuss some of the standout products that each of us was able to test. Also, at the very end of

the episode, we announced the dates of Blister Summit 2025, as well as some new aspects of the event

that we'd like to bring to you next year,

so be sure to stick around.

Now, this episode of Gear 30 is presented by our Blister Recommended Shop,

Sturdivance, which is now celebrating 75 years of being a specialty ski and bike shop

in the Sun Valley, Idaho region.

These days, they have multiple locations in Ketchum, Sun Valley, and Haley, Idaho, and they are our Blister Recommended shop in that valley for

many reasons. For starters, they offer a no-excuses boot-fit guarantee backed by their staff

of knowledgeable bootfitters. They also offer a great fleet of rental and demos, skis and snowboards,

and a whole lot of world-class products for getting outdoors.

This, matched with their passionate and knowledgeable staff,

will ensure that you are geared up and ready for your next adventure.
