Who’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.

Note: We Want to Hear From You!

We’d love for you to share with us the stories or topics you’d like us to cover next month on Reviewing the News; ask your most pressing mountain town advice questions, or offer your hot takes for us to rate. You can email those to us here.
