Can We Future-Proof Public Lands? Working Together & the GORP Act

How do you get everyone from cattle ranchers to cyclists, snowmobilers, hunters, wildlife biologists, indigenous tribes, and politicians from both sides of the aisle to agree on how to best manage, protect, and utilize our public lands? It ain’t easy.

But the GORP Act took on this challenge, and its collaborative approach could serve as a blueprint for the future. So, we sat down with Jon Hare, Advocacy Director for High Country Conservation Advocates, to get the full story. We discuss why they’re trying to use federal legislation to implement local land management policies; the challenges (and rewards) of working closely with so many different public land users with different priorities; and much more.

At Blister Summit 2025, we brought together pro skiers Dane Tudor, Todd Ligare, Amy Jane David, and Stinius Skjøtskift for a wide-ranging and very candid conversation. These snowsports legends dove into everything from the current state of ski competitions to the moments that helped their skiing technique “click.” They share industry insights, career advice, and some hilarious personal stories — including how one of them nearly joined the military instead of becoming a pro skier.

The Latest Attack on Public Lands — and What You Can Do to Stop It

The Roadless Rule has had a major impact on the preservation of our public lands and wildlife, but it is currently set to be thrown out altogether. So today, we discuss how and why it was created; the current efforts to rescind it; and what that would mean for bikers, hikers, skiers, climbers, and other outdoor enthusiasts across the United States.

Joining us is Louis Geltman, VP of Policy & Government Relations at Outdoor Alliance, who shares his expertise on this and other time-sensitive issues relevant to just about anyone who enjoys recreating outdoors in the U.S.

Mountain In My Mind: When Ski Films Talk About What We Don’t

Filmmaker and skier John Padilla joins us to talk about his groundbreaking ski film series, Mountain In My Mind — a project that confronts mental health in mountain communities head-on. From losing his brother Jack to suicide, to creating a foundation and producing three powerful films, John shares his story of grief, action, and change.

Big Balls, Flat Pedals, A-Line, & More with Lindsey Richter, founder of Ladies AllRide

When it comes to community creation and helping people improve their outdoor-sports skills, a strong case can be made that women are doing all of this much better than men. And as one shining example of this, today, Jonathan talks with Lindsey Richter, the founder of Ladies AllRide, who not only has one hell of a story herself, what she and her team at Ladies AllRide have created is incredibly inspiring, much needed, and, should serve as a blueprint for other sports in the outdoor industry — for women and men.

BLISTER Podcast
'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' w/ McKenna Peterson & Jed Yeiser (Blister Book Club)

Back in 2022, on a ski trip to Mazama, Washington, K2 ski designer, Jed Yeiser, K2 skier, McKenna Peterson, and Jonathan agreed that they would one day have a conversation about ‘The Hitchhiker's Guide’ for the Blister Book Club. And today is that day. Plus, this strange little book seems to only be gaining more relevance with each passing year.

You’re also going to learn about the sport of ski-boxing; you’ll get a sneak peek at the name of a future K2 ski, and you can decide whether you agree with my suggestion that Vanilla Ice was influenced by this book.
