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.
