It was a whirlwind four days but we all survived the combined Snowsports Industries of America & Outdoor Retailer winter trade show and On Snow demo, proving that it is possible to survive on beer, pizza, coffee & waffles.

On Saturday, we spent the full day bouncing around the Colorado Convention Center in Denver, checking out the product lines for the 2018-2019 winter season. We focused primarily on hard goods and we weren’t able to make time with every brand, but there’s still a lot to preview, so we’ll be breaking it up with individual brand previews over the next week or so. You’ll be able to access all of them as they’re published via the dropdown menu below.

The show itself was pretty massive, and the consensus among those who’d been there before the OR takeover seems to be that it needs more thought and order: some brands were hard to find, Slash and Marhar for instance were haphazardly tucked in to some weird back corner far away from the other “snowboard” vendors and outside the back doors of the upper floor. Hopefully they’ll iron out those kinks moving forward.
