The Adirondack Sports & Northeast Ski Expo (Winter Expo) made a successful return in 2022 with a “great, super organized show!” at a “very nice venue.” We had a “great turnout” of active adults and families – “they all seemed like skiers.” Exhibitors were “very happy” with the “great flow” and “steady traffic all weekend,” and the “high-quality, interested” crowd. Attendees liked the “perfect mix of vendors,” and everyone appreciated free admission and convenient parking – “a huge plus.” As a ski shop owner said, “it’s great to have the show back,” and a ski resort operator added, “great job keeping it alive!” According to the evaluations, all exhibitors plan to be back.
We look forward to growing the Winter Expo size, interactivity and scope of vendors in the coming year. We look forward to seeing you in November!
