Ted Ligety & Jonathan Ellsworth

The Blister Summit is more than just a demo event. While 40+ brands will have a ton of current and new-for-next gear available to demo, there will also be a number of ways to interact with the brands, other Summit attendees, and professional athletes.

The athletes we have joining us are some of the best, most down-to-earth skiers and snowboarders around. Not only will you hear from them on nightly panel sessions, but you’ll also get to hit the slopes with them at Crested Butte Mountain Resort.

Who’s attending?

This week on GEAR:30, DPS introduced a new product that represents quite a departure for the company: the DPS Carbon Pisteworks 79. And today, you’re going to hear one of the deepest dives we’ve ever done on GEAR:30 about the design and development of a new ski; how Blister Labs was involved; and the lengthy process of developing a ‘metal ski without the metal.’

Ted Ligety

Ted Ligety is a two-time Olympic champion, 5-time World Cup Champion in giant slalom, co-founder of Shred Optics, NBC analyst, father, and so much more. Ted will be at the Summit with Carv, DPS, and Shred. Join us Sunday, February 23 for the first panel session of the event to hear from Ted, Hoji, and others as they discuss how to evaluate gear. On Tuesday, hear from Ted as he, along with product designers from Glade and Giro, discuss goggle technology. Additionally, hit the slopes with "Mr. GS" on Tuesday to see how Ted uses Carv, the digital ski coach, and how it can help you learn to ski better.
