What's New

The Buyers, Managers and Owners of Steamboat Ski and Bike Kare are off to Las Vegas!

For the newest technology and fashion forward apperal, this show represents the winter sports retailers the opportunity to shop all the vendors in the industry. For the retailers who attend the exhibit means the ability to then offer their clients the highest quality merchandise. This exhibit is incredibly exhaustive for all involved. There are literally hundreds of miles to walk and nearly 900 vendors to see in just 4 short days.

More and more merchants are forgoing the expense, and time consuming event opting instead to order their inventory off the internet or merely letting their manufacturers rep's decide for them what they should stock. While this is a new trend and sounds appealing, it can be misleading in many ways. The photos on the internet can't be tested or checked for quality or advancements. The merchandise some of the Representitives recommend can also be over stock or outdated.

Attending this event allows the Buyers and Managers to compare quality and new technology from the vast suppliers. It also offers Training Seminars and Showcases which improves product knowledge that they in turn pass on to the staff at Steamboat Ski and Bike. Another outstanding benefit of attending the show is the ability to deal direct with the manufacturer's Executive Staff instead of their Representatives. This leads to long term relationships that provide better pricing and service. Steamboat Ski and Bike believes it owes this to their clients.
