Looking forward to some down time
0In the last week we’ve been from Steamboat to Boulder to Denver to Boulder to Winter Park to Boulder, and tomorrow back to Steamboat.
SIA10 was a mixed bag. Some of it went well, other parts were plain awful. But more on that later, I’ll do a full critique of the show when I’ve had time to digest it.
More than anything else I’m just tired, a sentiment I heard often at the on-snow demo days. Four days at the tradeshow, followed by two days of cramming in every board you can, flat wears you out.
I’m really looking forward to a couple of slow days back in Steamboat. Maybe make a few mellow park laps, ride a bit if it snows, but mostly sleep and write up all the stuff we’re behind on.
Industry Finds a New Home in Denver at 2010 SIA Snow Show

Up next: heading up to the mountains for On-Snow Demo/Free Ride Fest
DENVER, CO (January 31, 2010) – SIA’s inaugural Snow Show in Denver brought together plenty of A-list media, athletes, personalities and politicians to the halls of the Colorado Convention Center. Finding their way around a new city and convention hall took a little practice for longtime Show attendees, but it was hard to resist the friendly city that holds the number spot for urban snow sports purchases. People on the street, elevators and at bars were asking– “Are you with the Snow Show?” And, the industry took notice. (more…)
Fear and Loathing in Denver
12 years ago
SIA is always an intense, all-consuming series of events, but with the move to Denver, the 2010 show became a whole new beast. More floor space meant more brands, and so we found ourselves busier than ever tracking down what’s coming next, and from which company.
After meeting with the hundred or so companies we normally see at SIA, not to mention the after parties, we’re usually pretty wasted. But SIA.10 took it to a whole new level with two days of on-snow demos immediately following the tradeshow.
Over the next few weeks we’ll be rolling out previews from each company we met with, including photos, and mentions of any products that really caught our attention, as well as on-snow previews for select boards, boots, and bindings. For now you can check out this gallery of images, an overview of the entire trip.

The celebrating continues for freestyle phenom John Jackson who over the weekend at the Transworld Snowboarding Riders’ Poll Awards took home top honors, receiving awards for both Rider of the Year and Video Part of the Year for his closer in Forum’s FOREVER. Also nominated for Rider of the Year and deserving of a shout-out was Forum’s Pat Moore who had an equally insane season – yeah, Pat! (more…)

Volcom Store Party in Boulder
2We were already hanging out in Boulder this afternoon, so when we got the heads-up about the party at the Volcom Store on Pearl Street, we made our way over to check out the festivities.
Out front Volcom had a hat making booth set up, and visitors could get a free hat, pressed with their choice of Volcom labels on them. Inside there was pizza, an array of free posters and a couple of Volcom pros hanging out. Twitter user jjwingate won a free snowboard for finding Gigi Ruf and tweeting a photo to @volcom.
The store had a pretty good-sized crowd gathered at the back to rock out with Kandi Coded and ASG. There were probably 50 people that stayed the whole time, but quite a few more milled in-and-out.
Thanks for a fun night Volcom!
