Snowbound 2024: The “Coming Attractions” of Winter in New England

November 15th to the 17th, winter arrives early in Boston as the Snowbound Expo 2024 transforms the Convention and Exhibition Center into a snow lover's paradise. The BCEC buzzes with snow-angsty stoke fiends exploring resort exhibitions and dreaming of their seasons. Each conversation fuels the anticipation for that first chairlift ride, whether it's at Saddleback, or Yawgoo. Ski Ward or Killington. The Snowbound Expo is a celebration of winter sports culture; Hello daily happy hour at the Alpine Bar! Attendees can participate in merch giveaways, browse the freshest gear, and soak in the pre-season excitement. Assemble the shred crew because tickets are up for grabs right now, and for a limited time, they are completely free.

Gear Up for Glory

Colorado Ski Shop is constructing an entire winter sports store inside the expo, featuring exclusive Snowbound specials. Rows of gleaming helmets, the IRL touch of high-tech fabrics, and that unmistakable new-gear aroma. You might leave with your entire season's kit sorted, ready to tackle everything from the bunny slopes at Blue Hills to conquering the Brackett Basin glades of Sugarloaf. Get a feel for the subtle differences that make for great experiences with all types of gear. From socks to helmets, boards and bindings to ski totes and wax irons, everything needed to start the season or refresh your kit will be at the BCEC November 15-17.

Plan, Party, Participate

The air buzzes with the energy of fellow snow enthusiasts as you bounce from the Alpine Bar to resort exhibitions to the Inspiration Stage. The winter carnival is truly coming to town with The Mega Indoor Slope sponsored by Bromley and Jiminy Peak to clock your first vert of the new season. Visitors can also explore the Cross Country and Snowshoe experience for a slightly slower warm up to winter. Everybody can cut a few turns, take a few strides, and remind your legs that they know how to do this.

Glimpse into the Future of Winter Sports

At the Inspiration Stage, Olympic champions, adventure seekers, and industry icons share their stories to stoke your season. This year's lineup includes Julia Kern, Douglas Lewis, Mary Walsh and more. These sessions offer unique insights into what motivates these athletes and pushes them to new heights and speeds, with opportunities for Q&A.

Snowbound also offers a glimpse into the future of winter sports. Anticipated trends include sustainable snow sports technologies and resort strategies that secure a sliding season amidst unpredictable climate conditions. Boston knows a little about that, and the forecasters and operations team who can adapt with it are true artists! Learn more about where resorts are succeeding in protecting winter in New England.
