Every season in late January, the ski industry gathers in Denver for the Outdoor Retailer Trade Show. It is the best opportunity for us to not only see next season’s product all in one place, but also chat with product designers, marketing managers, and really get a sense of the direction a certain brand is taking. The Denver Convention Center is huge and it’s packed from wall to wall through every floor with skis, clothing, footwear, sleds, and basically anything you could possibly think of that has anything to do with the outdoors.

While it would be impossible for us to show you everything, we’re going to do our best to give you a sense of what it’s like to be at the show with these daily recaps. We hope you enjoy taking a peak behind the scenes of Outdoor Retailer. As always, let us know if you have any questions about next season’s gear!
