Well, what's up everybody and welcome back to Gear 30 on the Blister Podcast Network.

I'm Jonathan Ellsworth, and I'm actually here with Luke Kappa, and you can check out everything

we're doing and reviewing over at blisterreview.com.

And if you are somebody who has listened to at least five gear 30 episodes,

then I would ask you to take 30 seconds and show us your support by leaving us a five-star rating in Apple Podcasts because what other podcasts on planet Earth brings you Hoji, our patron saint of

gear 30, one week, and then follows that up with the great Luke Kappa the next week.

Seriously, where else?

Where else do you get Hoji and sexy Luke, as we like to call him?

Nowhere else is the answer.

So please go leave us that five-star rating because, I mean, I've already said why.

So there you go.

Luke, it's me and you.

We're back in Blister HQ together and we just had closing day here in Crested Butte.

I haven't totally processed this yet.

Yeah, it always feels like it happens very fast, especially like just looking out my window.

There's a very distinct difference between closing day and the Monday that follows,

there's just no one out.

Yeah. Like, CB shuts down pretty much immediately. I always make the mistake of going to

some random store and it's, there's newspaper on the windows. It's closed for the next few weeks.

But at the same time, like, I kind of like it. Although on Monday, I like hit 1.30 or 2, which is when I normally go and ski.

And like my brain just felt like it was a little broken.

I was like very confused with what I should do with myself.
