You’ve been to the summer tent sale. You’ve been to the local ski swap. Now make tracks to the ski show!

Each November our friends at the SnowBound Expo produce what I believe is the finest ski & snowboard show in the Northeast, perhaps the country. People sometimes ask me why I go? For a lot of reasons. Some psychological, some economic.

Psychologically,  it’s good to be among like minds. Everyone at the show is excited and anticipating the coming season. It stirs the carve junky in me. I know I’ll be on snow somewhere in just weeks. That motivates me to increase my workouts (you never really know just how much gas is in the tank until the first run!) and prep the gear.

The show is a celebration of winter sports as demonstrated by the stellar line-up of guest speakers. This year New Hampshire born and raised Big Mountain Skier, Caite Zeliff, Vermonter Moguls legend, Hannah Kearney, Maine’s finest athlete, Donny Pelletier, and Alice Merryweather, top-ranked American downhill skier, World Cup contender and Olympian will share their experience and knowledge with fans. 

Economically, there’s gold at the show. There are more promotions than you can count. Resorts will update you about their latest improvements to their lodges, lifts, snowmaking and terrain. They’ll be selling gift-cards, ticket packages and season passes at the lowest prices of the year. If you’re lucky, you may win free tickets or passes in a raffle or by spinning a prize wheel. Chachka is everywhere. Stickers, bottle openers, keychains, goggle wipers, lift ticket clips, ski straps, hats, trail maps, water bottles, bandanas and more await you collectors of ski memorabilia. 

On the gear side you’ll find close-out deals on last year’s brand-new skis, boots and bindings. It’s an excellent time to add a specialty pair to the quiver. Get that soft snow or ice ski you’ve had your eye on. You’ll also find manufacturer’s promoting their newest equipment. Get up to speed on the latest ski and boot technology designed to make your day on the hill a little easier and a little more fun. You’ll also find great deals on every kind of clothing. It’s the perfect time to update your look or add to your layers. Perhaps most importantly, there’s no better time to outfit the kids!
