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.

Our guest today is Austin Smith, who in addition to being very, very good at snowboarding,

is also the co-founder of season equipment and the man in charge of overseeing the snowboard

side of things at season, while his co-founder, Eric Pollard, oversees the ski side of season.

And we're doing something a bit different this week on Blister.

So today, you're going to get to hear Austin's perspective on season and a whole bunch of other topics.

And then this Friday over on our Gear 30 podcast, you will get to hear a conversation with Eric Pollard that I'll be

recording with Eric tomorrow. So be sure you've subscribed not only to the Blister podcast, but also

our Gear 30 podcast to catch both of these conversations. Now, before we get started here, I want

to remind you that registration for

our Blister Summit in February 2022 is now open to Blister members, and lots of people are

already signing up. So we're going to include a link in the show notes to this episode

for you to check out, and you should check it out,

because if you are listening to this podcast, then I'm quite sure you will dig the Blister Summit.

And one other thing to make sure you're up on, we run a gear giveaway every single week,

and this week we are giving away a pair of ski boots from full tilt. So what you're

going to want to do is sign up for our newsletter so that you are always up on our latest

year giveaway and don't ever miss them because they're really good. So we're going to include a link

to our newsletter sign up in the show notes to this episode.

And then I hope you win yourself some ski boots this week.
