SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO, California – (February 15, 2019) – Outdoor Retailer, the largest U.S. tradeshow and premier business event for the snow sports and outdoor industries, began its second year in Denver with a successful three-day Snow Show at the Colorado Convention Center. The show attracted more than 21,000 attendees and over 880 global brands, all showcasing the latest in snow sports equipment, apparel, footwear, textiles, and gear. Snow Show, which ran from January 30-February 1, 2019, is one of three shows for Outdoor Retailer in Denver this year.
“Snow Show brought great energy and packed days, and it was the perfect kick-off to our second year in Denver,” said Marisa Nicholson, vice president and show director for Outdoor Retailer. “We witnessed an incredible lineup of innovative new products and materials that will prove to make our outdoor experiences better. The show was also an opportunity for us to gather and to share ideas and inspiration, allowing us to head into this new year with a lot of motivation.”
The annual Snow Show brought together brands and retailers from around the world and featured the latest trends and innovations in winter sports gear. Curated areas throughout the show floor, including Venture Out, the Scandinavian Village, and LUXE, highlighted unique products and exhibitors. Multiple Fashion Shows provided trend insight and showcased looks for the Fall-Winter 2019-20 season.

“As every year, the show had an energetic, upbeat vibe; it’s an incredible gathering of the industry – of people who are passionate and love what they do. It’s a fantastic opportunity to see familiar faces (and meet new ones) all in one place,” said Rob Mignon, National Sales Manager, Alpine Retail HEAD/Tyrolia Wintersports.
Snow Show opened with SIA’s Industry + Intelligence sessions, which included a luncheon honoring snow sports industry icon Klaus Obermeyer. Events concluded with the SIA/WWSRA On-Snow Demo at Copper Mountain, Colo. Snow Show was also co-located with Winter Sports Market, the annual trade show for specialty retailers and invited suppliers co-hosted by Snowsports Merchandising Corp. (SMC) and Sports Specialists Ltd. (SSL).
“We are always looking for the right partnerships and the right products that fit our region and what we do. The shows are a great place to do that, and to strengthen relationships,” said Mike Plante, owner, Travel Country Outdoors. “It’s also a good opportunity to find what’s new and to keep connected with the industry, and Snow Show has a great vibe that you can just feel when you’re there.”
“We really, really care about our retailers, we care about our buyers. We really want to support them, and it is super easy to do at the show,” added Michelle Fleming, Marketing Manager, Stanley-PMI.
Outdoor Retailer Snow Show is one of three annual shows hosted by Outdoor Retailer in Denver at the Colorado Convention Center. Summer Market returns from June 18-20, 2019, with the Demo Experience on June 17, and Winter Market will run from Nov. 5-7, 2019.
