I chat with Justin Bobb, Kara Williard, Dylan Wood, and Kristin Sinnott, to discuss some of the standout gear we were able to test at last week’s Blister Summit, from skis to snowboards, ski boots, bindings, and even snow blades. Then about halfway through, Jonathan Ellsworth interrupts us and adds his thoughts on a couple of the skis he got on, too.

Compeed is great.
I used a cheaper competitor last week. New hiking boots, got hotspots and applied. Didn’t stick as well as Compeed but avoided actual blisters. Had to manage them over the 4 days I used them whereas compeed you forget about them.
This included keeping them on for showering.
How about your fancy blades with some teli bindings. That may not have been done.
Glad you are getting snow.
Starting to see news articles forecasting drought in the French alps. Normally what you would see for American West
Hi Luke, I am wondering when we will get reviews on the summit skis. I am interested in the Peak skis as there has not been much on them other than comments. Thanks!
