About this episode
In the first episode of The Blister Podcast, Blister's editor-in-chief, Jonathan Ellsworth, sits down with Jed Yeiser, the ski designer for Line and K2 Skis. It’s a wide-ranging conversation that touches on: ski design (and the whole “light is right” movement); Jed’s work with living legends like Eric Pollard and Tom Wallisch; the new LINE Sir Francis Bacon and Mordecai; the story behind Jed’s own pro model (the Line Supernatural 108); a few great Jason Levinthal stories; the pros and cons of “brand consistency”; the realities and misperceptions of manufacturing skis overseas; the rise of electric bikes; movie director Wes Anderson’s surprisingly significant influence on the ski industry; and the book that Jed has read more than any other.
