Summary
Connery Lundin is one of our favorite skiers because of his great style, but also because he’s one of the most well-rounded skiers out there. So he’s the perfect person to talk about a new concept, the ‘BOSS’ — Blister’s Overall Sickest Skier — and what the ideal background would be to become the BOSS.
We’ll be asking this question of a number of people in upcoming conversations, and we’d love to hear your thoughts on who is the real BOSS, and what the best background is, in your opinion, to become one.
Note: We Want to Hear From You!
We’d love for you to share with us the stories or topics you’d like us to cover next month on Reviewing the News; ask your most pressing mountain town advice questions, or offer your hot takes for us to rate. You can email those to us here.

| 0:00.0 | Hey everybody, welcome back to the Blister Podcast on the Blister Podcast Network. |
| 0:07.4 | I'm Jonathan Ellsworth, and you can check out everything. |
| 0:11.4 | We're doing and reviewing over at blisterreview.com and over on our YouTube channels |
| 0:17.6 | at Blister Review and Blister Studios. |
| 0:23.2 | Our guest today is Connery Lundee, who for years has been one of our favorite skiers, |
| 0:29.5 | in part because of his great style, but also because he is simply one of the most well-rounded |
| 0:36.2 | skiers out there. And that, what it means to be most well-rounded skiers out there. |
| 0:38.1 | And that, what it means to be a well-rounded skier and how do you get there, is a big |
| 0:44.7 | part of our conversation today, and it leads us into a discussion of something that I've been |

| 1:15.6 | Blister's overall sickest skier. Who would be in the running for the 2026 Boss Award? |

| 1:31.0 | overall sickest skier or snowboarder out there? |
| 1:35.1 | We will be asking this question of a number of people on this podcast in upcoming |
| 1:40.3 | conversations. |
| 1:41.7 | But today, Connery and I kick things off, and we would love to hear |
| 1:45.9 | your thoughts on who is the real boss, and what is the best background, in your opinion, to become one. |
| 1:55.0 | This episode is presented by Palisades Tahoe, where just a few days ago our team was skiing with Connery, |
