SIA 2011: Day 3

Day 3 of SIA is definitely the most tiring day; the partying starts to catch up with the overall tiredness of being on your feet all day at a tradeshow but it’s still sooo worth it.  Day 3 for me was the big guns of snowboarding, the brands that have a lot of products to go through but also have things on lockdown.

A stop into the Vans booth to meet the crew and check out the latest.  I’ve been rocking the 2012 Vans Veil’s for the past month as a wear tester giving feedback and really happy with how the line is looking for next year.

Ride Snowboards definitely creates the best booths and this year’s peep show was hilarious to check out.  Of course walking by this sight, I had to take a photo of the hilariousness of it.

At the end of the day, walked out of the tradeshow to see the 686 Reclaim contest.  Definitely interesting to see what they were doing and how it all came along.

For the first time since arriving, spent an hour relaxing at my hotel room before heading to dinner with Jessica, Autumn, Eric and Micaela (?) at the Capitol Grill which was amazingly good food and drinks.  A good nights sleep to get ready for the always fun on-snow coming up soon.  Now it’s time to check out of my sweet hotel room and head into Day 4 of the show!
