Our intrepid leader Adam along with our snow buyer Rich just got back from the annual SIA tradeshow.  This is the show where we make all of our buys for next year’s snow season.  This year it was moved from Las Vegas to Denver, with a generally favorable result.  Here’s a quick recap for everyone who didn’t get to go:

Lot’s of great new products on view.  Some highlights:
* Burton’s Las Vegas-themed tradeshow booth, along with their new boots and boards (now with a new mounting system which is compatible with many other binding manufacturers - including Union, Ride and K2!).
* Capita’s new boards - including the newly re-vamped Black Snowboard of Death.
* Union’s new bindings - cool new model including the Flite!
* Jeremy Jones’ new board brand - “Jones”
* Airblaster’s new outerwear line looked great.
* New Oakley goggle called the Elevate.
* The new Volcom outerwear line is really good - great colors, materials and construction.

Other news:
Snowboard Connection was voted “Northwest Shop of the Year” by Transworld Snowboarding Business magazine.  Woo hoo!

Adam and Rich also got a special invitation to join Joel Gomez from Sessions at his VIP table at the 11th annual Transworld Rider’s Poll.  This is a really cool awards event - all nominations and votes are by the pro riders.
