Located in our hometown of Mt. Crested Butte, Colorado, the Blister Summit is a one-of-a-kind event in the snowsports world. And we’re so excited to bring it back for its fifth year, from February 23–27, 2025.
The Blister Summit brings the hottest and most important brands in the snowsports world — and anyone who wants to join — to Mt. Crested Butte, CO, every February to demo gear, participate in nightly panel sessions with industry leaders, explore the backcountry with professional guides, and more. The Summit is open to the public — just sign up once we open registration this May.
At the Summit, you can: test next season’s skis, snowboards (solids & splits), ski boots, apparel, and avalanche safety gear in the backcountry and on-resort; talk to company founders; ski / ride with professional athletes and Blister reviewers; learn from designers and innovators in nightly panel sessions; make some new buddies; and have a great time.
To learn more about what the Summit is and what makes it so special, check out what attendees and athletes had to say at Blister Summit 2024:
“The Blister Summit does a great job of bringing 3 pillars of the industry together that don’t often overlap at the same time: the public, the brands, and athletes. I really appreciate the way Blister brings everyone together as a unified ski community. Everyone is accessible, friendly, and passionate about having fun on snow."
