| 0:00.0 | Hey everybody, welcome back to Gear 30 on the Blister Podcast Network. |
| 0:09.5 | I'm Jonathan Ellsworth, and you can check out everything we're doing and reviewing over |
| 0:14.7 | at blisterreview.com, and that includes the sign-up to the Blister summit that we are going to be holding in February. |
| 0:25.7 | Now, to be clear, registration at this point in time is only open to blister members. |
| 0:32.5 | And because the blister summit is so cool, as we proved last year. This is without question worth it to become a |
| 0:41.6 | blister member if you are not one already, and then turn around and register for the Blister |
| 0:48.2 | summit. We already have many people signing up for the summit. There will be a finite number of spaces available. |
| 0:57.7 | And so we strongly encourage you to become a blister member if you are not one already. And then |
| 1:04.2 | go sign up for the blister summit. And we'll all see you in Crested Butte in February. |

| 1:48.2 | I got to say, when it comes to conversations about gear, Bodey has to be on the Mount Rushmore of |
| 1:56.7 | guests we've had on Gear 30. you guys are in for a treat. |
| 2:01.5 | Here in Bodie breakdown different elements of ski design and ski boots and optics. |

| 2:12.6 | It's a bit of a tour to force performance and a real treat. |
| 2:16.8 | There's also a bit of a teaser. You'll hear it |
| 2:19.5 | about some boot and binding things that Bodie has been thinking about for quite a long time. |
