Colorado was flowing with the masses of the snow industry last week. While some headed directly to Aspen to dive into the 2012 Winter X games, many meandered to Denver for the SIA tradeshow to check out never-ending collections of next year's product.

While we were amongst the crazy crowd being sucked in at Winter X, SNOWBOARDER Mag hit up the tradeshow to give us a sneek peek on what will be hitting retail stores next season.

With the amount of brands that show up to the Mile High City to debut their lines, it takes a hot minute to cruise through and see everything that needs to be seen. As a result, SNOWBOARDER broke up the product sneak peeks into three days.

Step into the future of snowboarding below:

Words: So-Gnar

Day 1 of So-Gnar's Mighty Midwest Snowboard Camp Tour at Tyrol Basin, Wisconsin started out great! The kids were anxious to get out to shred and the So-Gnar park along with Tyrol's park were looking epic. The day was filled with fun, learning new tricks, an Evol Burrito lunch, a little session in the So-Gnar park, and even a couple hammers.

After getting a good nights sleep it was time to start the second day of camp. The temps dropped transforming the snow into ice, but that wouldn't stop anyone.

The campers kept charging even harder than the day before. Campers dialed their newly learned hammers right before lunch allowing them to feel accomplished while they took a quick lunch break. After lunch the progression session started allowing all the campers to shred together and have a good time while progressing. Ending the day with too many new tricks to remember, campers were stoked with awards in the future. So-Gnar made sure every camper got an award as a reward for working so hard and bringing positive energy. Thanks to all our sponsors for the awesome prizing!

On New Year's Eve, Wisconsin snowboarders joined together to spend their night doing what they love instead of traditional New Years events. So-Gnar held the Shred Circuit Contest Series at Tyrol Basin to end 2011 with a bang. Competitors were antsy to get started as music blasted out of the Red Bull MXT and while our super unique park set-up was getting final touches. At 6 o'clock, the fun began. With little light, competitors weren't phased while throwing hammers left and right. So-Gnar would like to thank all competitors and families for coming out and ending the year with us.

Pro snowboarder Meesh Hytner is fortunate to be alive after surviving an avalanche recently while riding in the Colorado backcountry, and the accompanying video underscores how effective airbags can be if deployed in a timely manner. Hytner, who had been participating in an unofficial competition, was able to ride atop the substantial slab of cascading snow as if on a raft, thanks to her safety equipment.

The video, captured in the Snake River Drainage, was provided to Back Country Access in the hope it'd promote avalanche safety and the importance of airbags, which are not used nearly enough by snowboarders and skiers who like to ride virgin backcountry powder, often in high-risk areas.

Hytner, who was able to remain on her back with her feet pointed downhill, told BCA, "I felt like I was riding a mattress down the stairs."

The world's best snowboarders are enroute to Nelson, British Columbia for the most progressive snowboard contest of all time. The Red Bull Supernatural kicks off Thursday with eighteen riders ready to rumble on the exclusive backcountry course.

Santa Monica, CA - The final two spots for Red Bull Supernatural are now spoken for with Mark McMorris (CAN) and Sage Kotsenburg (USA) both accepting their wild card invites. These two future legends coming out of the freestyle world will join 16 other snowboarders who accepted invites to compete at Red Bull Supernatural, February 3rd through 8th at Baldface Lodge outside of Nelson, B.C., Canada.

This first-of-its-kind backcountry snowboard competition, the brainchild of Travis Rice, will challenge, then crown the best all-around snowboarder on the planet.

"Red Bull Supernatural is all the absolute legends and best snowboarders in the world riding something that has never been touched before. It's going to be exciting to watch and compete in. Getting the call from Travis meant so much to me. Oh man, I'm so looking forward to getting away from the usual contest grind, unplugging and riding pow with my idol Terje along with DCP, Devun Walsh and the best in the game," says Mark McMorris.

Mark McMorris qualified twice for Red Bull Supernatural, first as the TTR World Tour slopestyle points leader as of January 15th, then by winning X Games gold in slopestyle on January 28th. 18-year old McMorris continues to win slopestyle and big air competitions around the globe with a heavy bag of tricks and easy style. The Canadian appeared in "The Art of FLIGHT" landing a 1440 on a massive kicker in the Aspen, CO segment.

"That's a pretty gnarly opportunity [Supernatural] but you gotta take it, even if you get played there. It feels like a bittersweet moment, like, I'm scared, but it'd be such a sick thing to go to. There's no way you're gonna turn down an invite to T. Rice's Supernatural event," said Sage Kotsenburg in a USSA statement.

Sage Kotsenburg is a dominant force in both slopestyle and big air competition. The Salt Lake City, UT-native won a Red Bull Supernatural wild card nod with his silver medal finish in slopestyle at Winter X Games 2012. Kotsenburg landed the first-ever Cab double cork 1440 at the Billabong Air & Style in Innsbruck, Austria. The 18-year-old is one of the newest members of the U.S. Snowboarding Slopestyle Pro Team.
