“I have been skiing for around 52 years. I’ve been buying skis and gear since 1977. For years, I relied on simple gear reviews from Powder Magazine, Ski, Magazine, Skiing magazine, Freeskiing Magazine, etc. Somehow I stumbled upon BLISTER. I believe it was through YouTube. Now I am hooked on the Gear 30 podcast. I’m also hooked on the BLISTER podcast. I am sincere in this review, but I would be remiss If I did not confess that one of my primary motivations for writing this review is the opportunity to see Jonathan Ellsworth attempt to snowboard. If in fact, Jonathan does attempt to snowboard, I will relate a firsthand story from my Ski Patrol days about responding to an incident in the half pipe that involved a snowboarder. It is my sincere wish that Jonathan never experience anything akin to what I saw that day, which is seared into my memory. Let’s just say I hope Cody Townsend is not a prophet. Jonathan, I am following you on Instagram as Captain Gnar— you can DM me there to thank me being one of the 100 listeners on the BLISTER Podcast episodes with Cody. With respect and anticipation, your humble listener, Paul Chiavini.”
