Buying Stuff at Ski and Snowboard Trade Shows?

Question

yah I was wondering if I can buy product from different companies at ski and snowboard shows where different companies have booths and stuff out for the public to see.

Answer 1

Not usually at the real trade shows. They usually have some swag and other things to give away, but most of what they are there to do is show off the new goods to the buyers and owners for retail stores. It's a chance for the companies (or company reps) to take orders from the ski shops. Those events are different than a "Ski Show" where you have retailers there to sell skis and other stuff.
