Alpenglow Mtn Festival + Stuff We Learned during Spring Ski Testing (Ep.20)

We talk with Blister editors, Luke Koppa and Sam Shaheen, about the recent Alpenglow Mountain Festival and running with our hero, Courtney Dauwalter. Then we talk about some of the key things we learned during our ski testing this spring, including the correct thing to think about Domino’s thin-crust pizza, some dumb gear, and some great gear.
