In this episode, I sit down with Kara Williard, Jonathan Ellsworth, and the strikingly handsome Justin Bobb to talk about the many skis Jonathan and I opted to take out during closing weekend at CBMR; Kara’s powder-filled winter trips, and the two skis and single boot she used throughout; and Justin’s latest, crazy biking / skinning / snowboarding adventure + some of the boards and boots he’s been testing. Finally, we dive into some ski-touring boots discussions, and Jonathan tells us about his surprise visit from Cody Townsend.

  1. Closing Day at CB and still no word on a certain someone Snow Boarding yet???

    We are dying to know if:
    * Jonathan is a natural, and will be competing in over 50 category at the 2026 Natural Selection?
    * Did Blister+ get used and how much?
    * Did he love it or hate it?
    * How many wrist guards / tailbone pads were shattered in the process?
    * Is he going to be on the Cover of the 2025 -2026 Buyers Guide shredding Spellbound?
    * Was a Dinosaur outfit worn?

    Thanks Gang for a great show.
