Located in our hometown of Mt. Crested Butte, Colorado, the Blister Summit is the only consumer-focused gear test and demo event in the world. Test skis, snowboards (solids & splits), ski boots, apparel, and avalanche safety gear in the backcountry and on-resort; talk to company founders; ski or ride with Blister reviewers and professional athletes; learn from designers and innovators in nightly panel sessions; make some new buddies; and have a great time.
