    Misplaced Guilt? Misplaced Pride? A Different Conversation about Climate Issues

    Misplaced Guilt? Misplaced Pride? A Different Conversation about Climate Issues

    What should we do to most significantly and quickly improve the current climate situation? Should we all be pooping in buckets?
    At Blister Summit 2024, I had a conversation with Amie Engerbretson (Atomic); Dr. Len Necefer (Founder, NativesOutdoors & the Sonoran Avalanche Center); and Jake Black (Sr. Director of Programs, Protect Our Winters) to address this and a whole lot more.

    Zebras, Fashion, & Ski Culture: Hadley Hammer & Kellyn Wilson

    Today we are talking about an often overlooked — and sometimes looked down upon — form of self-expression in freeriding and freeskiing: fashion.
    Our guests are professional skiers Hadley Hammer and Kellyn Wilson, the founders of TOGS, which is a new project dedicated to widening ski culture and making it more acceptable for each of us to be our full selves.

Great podcast, would be better if Jonathan could snowboard

As a proud member of the 100, I always look forward to listening to this podcast, especially in the off season as a way to feel connected to the skiing community. If you ski or love the outdoors, you will enjoy listening.

Jonathan is a great host who has insightful perspectives and asks intelligent questions, almost as if he is well educated. I wish he could snowboard, but until Jeremy Jones starts a podcast I suppose I will keep listening to Blister.

Each month I eagerly anticipate Reviewing the News with Cody Townsend. I am sorry Cody about your team losing the Super Bowl, but on the bright side, now that the season is over hopefully you guys don’t need to talk about the NFL for a while.

Keep up the great work, folks! Seriously, this podcast is great.

Jonathan and the crew are the Ski Friends you want

In the ski season of 22/23 I got back into skiing after a long hiatus of about 25 yrs away from the sport. In the journey back, I discovered Blister when searching for reviews on what skis I should purchase.

Somehow I found the Blister Podcast network and became hooked. Jonathan and the crew banter back and forth on many subjects surrounding skiing with all of the fun and inside jokes you would want with your own group of friends. But the information is spot on. As an Outside Sales professional, I spend a lot of time in the car so it is great that the crew has brought me up to speed on all the things skiing in 2023.
Between all of the Blister POD Cast I can find useful information for skiing purchases, knowledge on mountain town life, and sometimes just to be plain outright entertained. The 15 yrs old boy inside of my 55 yr old body has permission to laugh out loud at dumb stuff.

So Blister crew keep up the great work. Jonathan good luck with that Snowboard thingy. Remember to have clear 4k video of this adventure, so Luke with his new to him 1997 camcorder is not the man for the job. Eric Freson you are being called in to document this adventure.

Longtime listener…

I’ve been listening to this podcast for years. Wide ranging conversations on all things having to do with life in the mountain towns and snowsports. Great was to pass the time when doing cardio.
