This past weekend The House Boardshop crew headed over to the Rocky Mountains to the Snow Sports Industry Association’s annual tradeshow in Denver, CO to check out the new product that all your favorite brands will be offering up next year. The crew spent three days checking out thousands of new products and technology with the intention of bringing the best and most bad-ass new gear to our fans and loyal customers.
We’ll be bringing you sneak peaks of 2012 product over the course of the next couple weeks, but aside from that here’s a bonus gallery of some of the antic’s surrounding the crew’s trip when they weren’t busy weeding through product and meeting with industry folks. (Admittedly, there may have been some business mixed with pleasure throughout the course of the trip- as tends to happen at industry gatherings such as SIA.)
