So Kristin Sinnott, our Blister Summit director, and I talk about the origins of the idea, why we think it’s important; why we think you should come!; and we cover a ton of the details and logistics of this first-of-its-kind event in the snowsports world.

I would love to hear some of the questions you ask people to get their opinion on skis, maybe in a follow up podcast after the event.
Great to hear about the origins and how long it has been in the planning. There are only so many ways I can say I am gutted not to be able to come this year.
Ski Sommeliers sounds like a great moniker! As long as you don’t get all high faluting about it – I’m getting hints of playfulness, it has a chargey nature and it definitely has legs.
Second Patrick’s suggestion above.
Ski tasting, yum! Wish I could attend. Hey, you know what? Telemark ski tasting sounds even tastier. (More of a dream than a real suggestion… but, I bet an East Coast Summit could meaningfully feature tele.)
Any progress on your tele video?
Stay safe and healthy!
