Today, Olin Glenne, the owner of Sturtevants bike & ski shop is back on GEAR:30 to talk about the state of the bike industry and ski industry; the World Cup Finals that are being held in Sun Valley in March of 2025; Sun Valley’s impressive ski race programs and some things those programs are doing that might be good ideas for race programs elsewhere to consider. Olin and I also talk a lot about ski tuning and ski finishing; ski base flatness (and who should obsess the most about it); and more.

Good Pod, enjoyed the conversation especially about ski tuning and ski quality, what role shipping and weather play and good factories making consistently quality skis. A friend of mine use to own a tuning shop, I would always ask him and his crew who made the best skis down to the worst, it was amazing what I learned and they always used a true bar on any ski that came into the shop and on what they sold, it was shocking how many skis were convex or concave.
