Hey everybody, welcome back to the Blister Podcast on the Blister Podcast Network.

I'm Jonathan Ellsworth, and you can check out everything.

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

Today, one day late, Cody Townsend and I are back to review the news, rate your very good takes this month, and share with you what we've been reading and watching.

And per usual, we cover a whole lot of ground and topics in this conversation.

Also, we are now doing every week in our free Blister newsletter

these blister surveys where every Monday we ask all of you

what you are thinking about a particular topic,

and then on Fridays we share the results.

And in this week's newsletter,

we presented the topic of chairlifts, which Cody and I are actually going to discuss here, and that conversation gets more heated than you might expect when talking about chairlifts.

Anyway, if you would like to be weighing in on these weekly polls, as well as see what

the rest of our community is thinking, well, we've got a link to our newsletter in the show

notes of this episode, where you can sign up, and then that's where you will also learn about

and be able to enter to win our great weekly

gear giveaways too.

Okay, last thing, I want to give a shout out to a few of our new Blister Plus members, which

include two friends of mine, and who knows, maybe some future friends of mine as well.

We've got Brian from Denver, Colorado, Josh from East Troy, Wisconsin,

Doug from Phoenix, Arizona, Michael from Portland, Maine.

My friend Kevin from Truckee, California, he just renewed his membership.

We've got Jeremy from Kingfield, Maine, Jesse from Whitefish, Montana, and finally for today,
