| 0:04.9 | I'm Jonathan Ellsworth and you can check out everything we're doing and reviewing over at blisterreview.com. |
| 0:13.5 | Our guest this week is Sam Antimatin, who is someone who does things in the mountains that very few skiers do, and I would argue, can do. |
| 0:25.9 | And in this conversation, you'll get a better sense of the background and the trajectory |
