Breezy Johnson just won the 2026 Olympic Gold Medal in women’s Downhill, and she also won Gold at the 2025 World Championships.

16 March 2026, 3:35 pm - 1 hour 9 minutesWho’s the Real ‘B.O.S.S.’ + How to Become the Best All-Around Skier w/ Connery Lundin
Connery Lundin is one of our favorite skiers because of his great style, but also because he’s one of the most well-rounded skiers out there. So he’s the perfect person to talk about a new concept, the ‘BOSS’ — Blister’s Overall Sickest Skier — and what the ideal background would be to become the BOSS.
We’ll be asking this question of a number of people in upcoming conversations, and we’d love to hear your thoughts on who is the real BOSS, and what the best background is, in your opinion, to become one.

Today we are launching a new Blister Podcast special series, called, 'Off the Clock.’ And fittingly, given that the England Patriots are in the Super Bowl this Sunday, we are kicking things off with former New England Patriots quarterback, Drew Bledsoe. But what you might not know about this former #1 pick in the NFL draft is that his first love wasn’t football, it was skiing. And today, you’ll hear just how meaningful skiing has been to Drew throughout his entire life.

Today, Colorado Sun co-founder, Jason Blevins, is back to give us the latest on Telluride reopening and the end of the ski patrol strike; we discuss recent developments in affordable housing in Steamboat Springs; we look at various ownership models of ski areas (including what’s happening at Eldora in Colorado); and we ask the big questions: what are the responsibilities of the owners of ski areas, and how do we create more sustainable — and more stable — relationships between ski areas and mountain towns?

12 January 2026, 5:10 pm - 45 minutes 51 secondsTelluride Closes, Ski Patrol Strikes, & the Future of Ski Resorts w/ Jason Blevins
On December 27, 2025, the Telluride Ski Patrol went on strike. Chuck Horning, the owner of Telluride Ski Resort, then closed the ski area indefinitely. So what is going on in Telluride? What does it mean for the town and residents of Telluride? And what does this strike — and others — say about the current state of mountain towns and the ski-resort industry? To discuss all of these things and more, we are talking with ski-industry reporter, Jason Blevins, the co-founder of the Colorado Sun, and the man behind Blevins’ Corner on our ‘Reviewing the News’ series.
