This coming week of Jan 29th-Feb 1 is the annual Snowsports Industries America expo, better known as S.I.A. With over a thousand snowsports companies in Vegas showing new product for the coming year, this is a chance to have a seek peek at new skis, boards, boots and bindings that will be released to the public for the ‘08 – ‘09 winter season. Some of us , I for one can’t wait to see the new ski line up. Fortunately there has been an expo in Sweden already so I did get somewhat of a sneak-peak. If you’re anything like me this is a major event and you can check out a few new skis at Freeride.

All the buzz these days seems to be about the next rockered or reverse camber ski. Well there are a number of new designs and skis that will be flooding the market next year. If you haven’t tried a reverse camber or rockered ski in the powder you’re missing out. This shape seems to be the new trend, as with good reason because there is nothing else that compares in the pow. S.I.A. is the place to learn about new product straight from the source, the ski companies and the reps themselves.

This year S.I.A. is going to be bigger and better than ever. If you don’t have the chance to go for yourself I recommend reading the online forums the next few weeks to keep up an eye on what’s happening in the industry. S.I.A. is a one of the most important expos of the year and helps show the coming trend for the next season. Keep your eyes open and ears tuned for any info on the expo. I am sure you won’t be disappointed, it’s going to be awesome.
