| 0:00.0 | Hey everybody, welcome to another episode of Gear 30 on the Blister Podcast Network. |
| 0:10.5 | I'm Jonathan Ellsworth, the founder of Blister, and as always, you can check out everything |
| 0:14.8 | we're doing and reviewing over at BlisterReview.com. |
| 0:20.2 | In this episode, I'm joined by Luke Kappa and Sam Shaheen to discuss several new |
| 0:25.2 | goggles we've been testing, though I think it's safe to say that I win the award for the |
| 0:30.3 | best slash worst goggle testing story here. |
| 0:34.1 | Then we discuss a couple new skis from Armada, and then we go into which ski companies |
| 0:39.8 | have stood out to us the most so far this season. After that, we share a few of the most |
| 0:45.8 | excellent responses we've received from the Blister Reader slash listener survey that we are |
| 0:51.2 | currently conducting on the website. Speaking of which, I would strongly encourage you to |
| 0:56.7 | head over to the website and fill out this survey. For one, because if you complete the survey, |
| 1:01.8 | you will be entered to win a $1,300 fully custom ski from Folsom. That is a pretty sweet prize for |

| 1:30.0 | So thank you in advance for that. Please visit our homepage. That is of course blisterreview.com. Click on the survey, fill it out, and then we hope |
| 1:36.7 | you win yourself some really sweet custom skis. Before we get started, I want to just say a quick |
| 1:42.5 | word about our Blister speaker series at Western Colorado University in Gunnison, Colorado. |
| 1:48.0 | Our next and final event for this school year is happening April 25th at Western, and our guest is Ashley Cornblatt. |
| 1:56.0 | Ashley wears a lot of hats. She is the owner of Western Spirit cycling, the owner and founder of Outer Bike, she is the creator of public land solutions, she is also a board member of the Outdoor Industry Association, and she is an inductee in the Mountain Bike Hall of Fame. Dear Lord. In short, Ashley is a very cool and super smart badass who |
| 2:20.6 | knows the outdoor industry and many of the ins and outs of a number of really important outdoor |
