Skiing BusinessSHARE
More than 200 industry leaders partied with some of the nation’s best ski shops, sales reps and employees at the 2nd annual Skiing Business Industry Awards party presented by Hestra on Thursday, Jan. 26.
“It’s crucial to recognize the people who push our industry to be better,” says Ryan Dionne, Skiing Business editor. “Hanging out with the leading shops, reps and employees in a low-key setting reminds us why we’re in this industry: because it’s fun.”
Skiing Business awarded seven retailers and three sales reps in a total of 14 categories as well as three Shop Heroes—which are some of the best ski shop employees in the country.

Through a partnership with Skiing magazine, those Shop Heroes will travel to Jackson Hole Mountain Resort at the end of February for an all-expense paid trip compliments of Ski.com, Fischer Skis, Helly Hansen and Hestra.
