Hey everybody, welcome back to Gear 30 on the Blister podcast network, where we are very proudly based out of Elevation Hotel right here in Crested Butte.

I'm Jonathan Ellsworth, the founder of Blister, and you can check out everything we're doing and reviewing over

at blisterreview.com.

Today we are continuing our conversation on the ski industry versus the bike industry,

and once again, we'd love to hear your thoughts on these topics, so leave us a comment on the post for this

episode on our website. Also, folks, we need to have a little heart to heart here. If you are

enjoying conversations like these, or our Gear 30 conversations where we really drill down on specific

pieces of gear.

And if you have listened to at least five gear 30 episodes, but have not yet taken 30 seconds

to leave us a rating on Apple Podcasts or Spotify, well, please do that now because apparently

you like the show because you keep coming back.

And we have been sitting now at 772 reviews on Apple Podcasts and 291 reviews on Spotify.

It's been there too long.

And I'd love to get to 800 reviews on Apple Podcasts of Gear 30

and get to at least 300 on Spotify.

Now, why you may ask?

Well, because we've got many, many thousands of listeners

tuning in each week to Gear 30.

And if you don't leave a rating, I'm worried that

Luke Kappa is going to say that it is not worth his time to keep coming back on Gear 30

till we get to at least 800 or 300 ratings, respectively. So let's not let it come to this.

It's super simple. Grab the phone that you're probably holding. Go to Apple Podcasts or if you're listening to this on Spotify, either one, and just take 30 seconds to hit that five star rating. Okay? We're doing our part over here. That's all we ask from you on this.
