It’s not Outdoor Retailer, but a trade show has been booked for Salt Lake City next January that is designed to bolster the state’s connections to the ski industry.
The Winter Sports Market, which brings together ski-gear manufacturers and a cooperative representing small independent retail stores, will be held Jan. 23-25 at the Salt Palace Convention Center. It will be the first of a three-year partnership agreement between Winter Sports Market organizers and the Governor’s Office of Economic Development.
About 1,200 people are expected to attend the convention, said Visit Salt Lake President and CEO Scott Beck.
