GEAR:30

Raide founder, Kyle Siegel, always has hot takes on backcountry gear, the problems it can create, and interesting ways to go about solving them. And with Raide recently launching their latest line of snowsports apparel and packs, it’s the perfect time to hear all about how and why they made things like the lightest backpanel-access backpack on the market; the warmest-for-weight down jacket; a new take on active insulation; a new way to use merino wool in baselayers; and more.

Scott Gaffney is one of the most accomplished ski-movie directors of all-time, and in this highlight from The Blister Vault, we’re sharing this clip where Jonathan Ellsworth got Scott to (try to) narrow down the most mind-blowing sessions he’s witnessed, and the skiers that made even the other pros watch in awe. And listening to this clip from 2017 today, it’s amazing how accurately Scott predicted who would be the next big thing in skiing.
