From the largest industry trade event globally to the first international On-Snow Demo/Ski-Ride Fest, the SIA Trade Show has arrived. See what the snow sports industry does best, on and off the snow!

From January 26-29, 2012, the Snow Show will deliver the hottest snow sports trends, innovations, educational seminars, personalities, events, concerts and parties. This year, numbers are trending higher than last year with buyer pre-registration up 15%, including a significant increase in shops that have not attended the Show in Denver before. Nothing can match the energy of 20,000 attendees, 900+ brands, 3,340 booths, 114 new and returning exhibitors, and more than 90% of the supplier market share all gathered for the annual Snow Show andOn-Snow Demo/Ski-Ride Fest (Jan. 30-31), which follows at Winter Park Resort and Devil’s Thumb Ranch.

“The biggest thing that I get out of the Show, that I can’t anywhere else, is the social interaction with the actual decision makers for the companies, from designers to presidents of the manufactures. As a retailer, you really get the sense that they are listening to us and therefore listening to the consumer,” John Sullivan of East Coast Alpine, Boston, Massachusetts.

HUD updated SPIRE’s Federal Housing Administration financing status to “Approved” this morning (1/23/12). SPIRE benefits from FHA/HUD, Fannie Mae and VA project approvals. In the last nineteen months, SPIRE has sold over 310 units making it one of the fastest selling condo projects in the country.

SPIRE initiated HUD/FHA re-certification for the SPIRE building in November of last year and have eagerly awaited approved status to be re-affirmed since December.  This approval was officially re-affirmed this morning.

Thanks to everyone that made this possible! We appreciate our downtown Denver/14th Street community!
