0:00.0	Hey everybody, welcome back to Gear 30 on the Blister podcast network. I'm Jonathan Ellsworth,
0:12.3	the founder of Blister, and you can check out everything we're doing and reviewing over at
0:17.3	blisterreview.com. Today on the show, we are talking about ski quivers and addressing some of the questions
0:25.6	that some of you asked us on the site.
0:28.7	Plus, we'll get to some other questions related to ski quivers, including things like
0:33.3	general principles for putting a quiver together, and we talk a bit about ski boots and address
0:40.4	the somewhat dreaded topic of the one boot quiver. Now, before we dive into that,
0:47.0	there's a few things I want to tell you about. The first is that I would like to invite all of you
0:51.3	to check out this week's episode of the Powell Movement podcast,
0:55.7	where I was asked to provide some inappropriate questions for backcountry skier and

1:35.4	So we will address some of the questions and concerns about that.
1:39.0	But as you will hear me say in this episode, if our personal ski quiver selections or our
1:45.3	ski quiver pairings that we have in our buyer's guide still leave you with some questions,
1:51.5	then we highly recommend becoming a blister member than sending us an email.
1:57.6	And I'm extremely confident that we can get you all sorted out. We've been doing exactly
2:02.9	this for years now and we have received thousands of emails from Blister members who have written
2:08.8	back to say that they are very happy with the skis and the boots and the bindings that we have
